No, it’s not *that* BBC story. It’s the other one. The BBC has launched its [online clips archive](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv%5Fand%5Fradio/3525455.stm?ref=onemanandhisblog.com "BBC NEWS | Entertainment | TV and Radio | BBC launches online clips archive") and, [as I predicted](http://www.onemanandhisblog.com/archives/000131.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com "One Man & His Accuracy"), it’s all in-house documentary stuff. The reasons are exactly as I predicted:

> *The first phase will concentrate on material that is fully owned by the BBC.*
> 
> In future, the BBC hopes to talk to independents and other rights holders about clearing the rights to other clips.

You’ll have to wait a little while for those Dr Who and Monty Python clips everyone was getting so excited about. So there.
