BBC Archives (Finally) Go Live

One of the most commented posts I've ever published here at Mediajunk was a story that broke in August 2003 about the BBC. Apparently, the Beeb was about to launch its vast archive collection free on the web.

The comments, bizarrely, were all from people looking for a copy of "Futtock's End", apparently a one-off show that starred the now posthumous Ronnie Barker.

Well, it's taken two and a half years, but today we've finally seen the first few archives go online. Check out http://www.mediajunk.com/public/archives/000160.html

Who knows -- you may even find Futtock's End?
