The BBC is to open up its vast archive of video and audio in an on-demand trial involving more than 20,000 people in the UK.
Full-length programmes, as well as scripts and notes, will be available for download from the BBC’s website.
The pilot is part of the BBC’s plans to eventually offer more than a million hours of TV and radio from its archive.
The BBC’s Future Media boss Ashley Highfield made the announcement at an industry conference in Cannes.
“Our audience increasingly want and expect to dictate how, when and where they get our services,” he told the conference.
