Hmmm... Thought about talking to BM PR, or even the media studies guys of a
local college about a pilot study on the use of Youtube for dissemination of
knowledge ;-)

Or do "Rights" make that wrong?

Cheers.

No idea, sorry.

I have my own footage of course, but it isn't that the important bits are
interleaved with other stuff, it's more that the important bits never made it
into the programme in the first place. For example, we
made a recon of a large 7th century Assyrian chariot for one show, but it really
needed more time to sort out the draught-system than was available. The producer
had decided long before that his take
would be that these vehicles were impractical, so we didn't get that time, and
so it was scripted, and it hardly appeared on screen.
