Apple has finally started selling TV programmes on iTunes in the UK, quite a long time after they began in the States, admittedly. iTunes users in the UK can now download a selection of TV programmes, ranging from Lost, Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives to Kim Possible and South Park.
Prices are £1.89 for one episode (that's $3.81 at the current exchange rate), not too much to ask, but still more expensive than the American equivalent. There is, at least, a bit of a saving when you buy the whole series of a TV programme. Ugly Betty, Season 1, costs £32.99 on iTunes and the RRP for the DVD boxset is £40.00.
At the moment, the selection is limited. It will be interesting to see if British TV companies like ITV or BBC jump onboard, as it is all American at the moment.
The one thing we are all waiting for, however, is Apple to start selling films on the iTunes store over here!
