Copying the program for, say, sharing, is clearly not included in this. By downloading or possessing a copy through BT you'll be in breach of S.16, S.17, S.23 Copyright Designs & Patents Act.

I think you may have misunderstood, when I said 'personal use' I meant it to be analogous to taping a transmission for later viewing.
I didn't intend to mean copying for sharing, as that would constitute 'gain', in my opinion. Although using torrents to download is questionable, on this point, as they rely on people sharing, while copying, to work.
One thing which eases my conscience, somewhat, on the last point, is that the repeats etc are shown on BBC3, which I don't get, as an analogue user.
So, I did download the 'Dalek' episode, to watch again, but I won't be selling copies down the pub
