[QUOTE="cobbles, post: 221521, member: 5138"] Sad but not inconceivable. My only hope is that Britbox start piling them onto their service. They've got 32 episodes from the entire history of the show up, but it would be so much nicer to see a much much bigger selection (naturally all), I'm not sure they even listen to customer request but I've put in an email asking if they're considering only to get told 'we'd love to do it but it depends on licensing' and to be made aware the social media/email reader fella (it's a fella that's not me presuming) at Britbox is a huge corrie fan. I suppose another potential hurdle might be 'residuals' as discussed above - unlike in Aus they're a mandatory for UK based repeats and showings. - It appears as though any episodes made prior to the 31/12/1969 would now be out of copyright though - so that might mean residuals aren't payable. That's twenty years worth of the show that could theoretical just be put up if it were available by anyone - the issue being that no-one has most of it as ITV hold it. However other elements of the show - (or depending on the classification of 'drama' the entire show) such as music, scripts etc etc may fall under the much trickier copyright term of..... That would certainly make things more difficult but surely not impossible. It would just need someone willing to sit down and do due diligence. Naturally I'd prefer these to go up in a streaming service so they can remain 100% uncut and not have to apply with sometimes over-zealous daytime TV regulations. I'd also expect there'd be a pretty big minority of people who would watch most of them - I'm not sure what Classic Corrie repeats get on ITV3 at the minute but I'm sure you'd get a similar number if you went right from the start rather than showed the mid-90s. If they are out of copyright I wonder how that leaves the physical process of obtaining them from ITV - would a third party service even need to buy them? I guess they would if they couldn't get them anywhere else, but if they're in a different ownership (some episodes are a BFI and some at an archive of some description other than BFI) then presumably they'd be free to pick up?
