Real Audio | How to Listen

In the next few months, the British Broadcasting Corporation will begin to make available bits and pieces of its archive, which dates back to the late 19th Century. The archive contains everything from World War I radio news broadcasts to television's "Dr. Who."

U.K. residents, who pay taxes to support the BBC, will be able to download clips of old news, entertainment and sports programs, and incorporate the material in their own creative works, as long as those works are non-profit ventures.

Guest: Paula Le Dieu, outgoing co-director of the BBC Creative Archive
