We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is run commercially by BBC Worldwide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC, the profits made from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes. You can find out more about BBC Worldwide and its digital activities at www.bbcworldwide.com.


This probably isn't the best part of DU to post this in. It's an annoying rule they have, due to a weird interpretation of how BBC Worldwide 'competes' with commercial companies - they say that means the main part of the BBC isn't allowed to help it in the UK - by allowing the website to be accessible. This goes for the 'BBC Future' website too.
