I see in the radio times that the BBC's version of David Copperfield starring daniel radcliffe from a few christmasses ago is being repeated tomorrow on Channel 4. Since when were BBC programmes permitted to be screened by other channels?
I guess it isn't a BBC production then - either an Independent production for the BBC, or an import, possibly co-production that just uses alot of British stars.
I caught the End credits of this earlier on and it was a Hallmark Production, so whether C4 are using an International copy is something I can't answer.
