because of all the footie and the time changes of tv programs Ive been catching up on them on my iPad. Last night I sat down to watch New Blood on the tv only to realise i had already previously watched it on my ipad!? I had a look on iplayer and saw there were quite a few episodes available to watch before they are being shown on the tv, I also noticed that there were several The Living of the Dead episodes as well. Are these series old ones that had been on tv before? it seems a bit odd that you can watch on iplayer before its shown on the tv!

I think they are new ones certainly in the case of TLATD- its seems the BBC are offering this now on some of it own productions- trying to give us some extra value for the licence fee I suppose before they lose it!!!!

Both of those shows have been made available on iplayer before being shown on normal tv we quite enjoyed being able to watch a couple of episodes back to back to be honest. I'm really not sure why they are doing it but my guess is if its popular they will do it more and more.
