To reiterate: the BBC cannot do free, un-DRM'd downloads unless either it pays them a huge sack of money or people like you and I demonstrate to them that no-DRM doesn't equal no money. The BBC has no magic wand it can wave to make no-DRM happen.
The BBC's sack of money contains 3 billion pounds, which is a of sum of money which can make a lot of things happen. What percentage of the production costs, including the profit margin of the production company (is it produced by an outside production company?) of e.g. Holby City, which is on tonight, was payed for by the license fee? I would guess, not being a tv person, that it would be all of it. Am I way off? - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
