Hulu comes to Great Britain

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

That's right, Hulu signed a deal that will soon allow you British folks to watch American television through Hulu, as well as content from a couple of your own channels.  Hopefully some of the British content will make its way over to us as well.

These guys' commericals scare me so much...am I the only one crazy enough to be made REALLY uncomfortable by them?

Yeay for you British folk! Hulu is one of my favorite sites.

I second Cat's hope for some British content making it's way to this side of the pond.

PSA's are mostly what I see.  Is that what you are referring to?

Unfortunately, BBC has not signed on, but Channel 4 stuff is supposed to be showing up in the US Hulu any time now.  ITV will also be joining in the UK version, as well as a ton of American shows.

It's supposed to start in September, but the negotations for ITV/Chan 4 is still ongoing.

EDIT: This quite frankly freaks me out. Oh dear Lord.

Oh, you mean the ads for Hulu, not the ones on Hulu.  I think they are rather funny and clever.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO THINK THOUGH

Don't worry, they'll take the teenagers who can't spell first.

I wish it could be accessed from Mexico, I think my mom and dad would love the colbert report and the daily show.

There's not really any need for the BBC to sign up, as such, as they already have their popular iPlayer in sync now. Of course, that popularity is causing them problems...XD

And yes, I know its not available to 'those outside the UK' officially, but the same could be said for Hulu. This won't affect me beyond switching off the proxy switch I use to access 'american' content (stupid youtube)
