I'm not too pleased that something as important as this should be subject to the television schedules.

Does anyone know if this will be available for viewing in the U.S. I tried to find it this evening but didn’t have any luck. Also tried online with BBC Iplayer, but you need a TV license. I think it’s great that BBC is airing the documentary but it sucks that they aren’t making it openly available.
