Say goodbye to new TV...

As far as I know (I may be horribly wrong) the BBC authorises its own downloads and writers get paid according to their contracts - which include repeat broadcast fees. Not sure the independents, but it's unlikely they would attract talent if their set-up was vastly different. Will have to ask HM.

Although the BBC has a really odd clause in its contracts that stipulates they are binding within the known universe and any future discoveries or something like that. Will see if I can dig out the email from another friend in the business.
