LONDON (Hollywood Reporter) -
Classic British TV shows
including "Brideshead Revisited," "Goodnight Mr. Tom" and
"Captain Scarlet" will be available via iTunes under a content
deal unveiled Tuesday by broadcaster ITV.
Customers accessing the download site will be able to
choose from more than 260 hours of ITV programming, with such
shows as "Inspector Morse," "The Prisoner" and "The Saint."
Adaptations of Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" and "Emma" will
be offered later in the year.
Shows will cost from 1.89 pounds ($3.76) per download and
can be viewed on Macs, PCs, iPods and iPhones.
Some 38 million videos have been downloaded from ITV's own
broadband portal, ITV, since the service launched in
October. ITV content also will be licensed to the forthcoming
video-on-demand platform Kangaroo, a joint venture among the
BBC, ITV and Channel 4.
