I wont, but some will. Provided they don't let it creep until the service is useless, then fine.

I think it could be a great idea. open up the archives to watch all those programmes that will never be released on dvd/br or are insanely expensive. The revenue could then be reploughed into making new stuff.

but if they did they would [LIFTED] it up.

With the picture quality I get on iPlayer, and the seemingly constant buffering I get on the PS3 version of it at the moment, then no.

I'm not against the idea. In fact, I'd like to make the entire BBC subscription based with no licence tax.

I doubt I'd pay. I can usually watch the programmes I miss within the current free time limit.
Other programmes I want to see I either have on DVD, are on other Freview channels at a later date or could be recorded on VHS/PVR etc.

I might pay for older shows from the 70s/80s that I watched as a kid and didn't really get to watch again. I don't think I could watch the entire series of Fawlty Towers, for example, but might be nice to watch the odd show here and there.

For some reason, when I read about this last night, I started looking up videos of Laurel and Hardy.

Yes, I would pay a small monthly fee for access to classic BBC programmes.
