Can you imagine?  How amazing.

On a complete side note, I've noticed that all of the ads that I get on the BBC videos appear to be American (anyway, they all have US accents.)  Is that because I'm viewing it from a US IP, or do the Brits just save money by not making their own commercials?

They must be US adverts as there are no adverts on the BBC in the UK. It's funded from the TV Licence and income from overseas sales of programmes.
