Because the licence for the programs is only for the UK. Sometimes they're only for England or Scotland (for example) - the other nation gets a different program . Either you really don't understand or you're trying to provoke a reastion from the members in this thread.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Basically it's so the program production company can make as much money as possible. If they let the BBC show their program all over Europe they couldn't sell it to all the other countries could they!

The same with DVD's Games etc.

Why do you think you don't get BBC Prime or BBC America here?
