why is it not available in the UK or elsewhere (on TV)?


perhaps because they're run on tight budgets and getting the EPG slots on sky and paying the prices for such things as well as potential rights issues with other shows isn't a priority. they're available online anyhow.


Yep - and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office are hardly likely to fund this.

Wasn't there a mention earlier of a small pot of money being set aside to provide these services in the UK from the next funding round or something like that?

Is it not possible to change the language on their embedded video controls? 'Share', 'Link to this' and 'Pop-out' aren't going to make much sense to many visiting the foreign language sites, especially languages with different scripts. Or is it not technically possible to change things on the same player?
