BBC Opens News Archive

03 Jan 2006

Fancy getting that little bit extra for your license money? The BBC continues to impress with its online endeavours, recently announcing the availability of its news archive as free downloads. Although still in its trail stages, you can freely download over 80 video clips spanning fifty years of monumental history. Whether its England’s defeat of Germany in the 1966 world cup, riots in Tiananmen Square, or the fall of the Berlin Wall; the BBC actively persuade you to use them as you please, telling us “Don't just consume, create!”.

Get them here to do just that.
