Firstly, was Neil Berkett correct and Virgin Media DO have the rights to UKTV on demand content, or was he mistaken and they do not?

Secondly, if they do, for what reason would they choose not to make it available to their customers?

Oh it's all gone quiet over there....

I don't know the answer to either of those.

But I do wonder if Mr B didn't read the email properly. He's a busy man.

Isn't a fair bit of what UKTV has been showing over the past year or so actually on BBC On Demand?

Yes, Steve h suggested this as a reason in post #1059. That would certainly make sense, and perhaps if it is the reason then some confirmation would be welcome?

Nothing wrong with New tricks or Taggart but alas we all have different tastes as revealed by your good self earlier this week.;)

Cheers, MM, that's useful. Ok so it's not exactly the same but, if it was going to cost money to add UK TV od, I could certainly understand why Virgin would choose to save theirs.

In BBC channel in TV for xl is an absolute shed load of Dr Who, 4 series of outnumbered, complete Waking the Dead, Spooks and This Life as well as Porridge amongst other things.

So is that it then? No UK TV on demand because the BBC deal already covers the same sort of ground?

I quite like Republic of Doyle for a bit of comedy drama. It doesn't hit the mark completely, but entertaining enough. I've just re watched the first few episodes on Netflix UK and it seems a little better than I remember after a three year viewing gap.
