iTunes UK adds ITV shows

We may not have movies in the U.K. iTunes store, but that hasn't stopped the UK broadcasters from slowly but surely adding their wares to the UK shop. First the BBC pitched in with a selection of shows such as 'Spooks' (it airs in the US as 'MI:5') and then Channel 4 added the likes of Black Books (amongst others). So today adding to the mix is commercial broadcaster ITV, which has added 'Lewis', 'Goodnight Mr Tom', 'Brideshead Revisited', 'Cold Feet', 'The Saint' and 'Captain Scarlet' to the UK store.

That may not sound like a great deal of content, however ITV is clearly looking to milk the archive shows for all they're worth. Apple UK's Hot News quotes Dawn Airey from ITV: "[We have] thousands of hours of classic content in the archive which we are bringing to a whole new audience via iTunes". and then leaves us with the perennial teaser of "Watch out for more great additions coming soon on iTunes".

As usual, iTunes UK TV show pricing of £1.89 (US$3.75) an episode applies to all the ITV content.

Apple unveils more video on the UK iTunes Store

Rejoice UK readers -- there's more overpriced easily accessible video programming available on our delectable iTunes Store: Wallace and Gromit (which I'll confess to buying right now - a poor show of form, given my loathing of iTunes' DRM love-in) and a whole plethora of Warner Bros content consisting of:
  • Friends
  • Wonder Woman
  • V: The Complete Series
  • Babylon 5
  • West Wing
  • The Jetsons
  • The Flintstones
  • Martin
Costing you a mere £1.89 (that's US$3.60 -- yes, more than our American brethren pay) per episode, if you're dying for something else to watch on your iPod or iPhone then you can finally grab some more video content from iTunes. As ever, movies continue to be missing in action, but there's hope given that Steve Jobs would 'love' to get iTunes rental worldwide during 2008.

Thanks to those who sent this in!
