A series of engaging, lively videos produced for the Royal Society. The format is simple: in each episode video journalist Brady Haran and Keith Moore, the Royal Society’s Librarian, look at a single object in the society’s collections and discuss its scientific and historical significance. Among the objects uncovered are Captain Cook’s quadrant, the letters of H.G. Wells, a very powerful 18th century magnet and some very expensive 19th century photographs.

Launched 5 November 2015 with over 7,000 hours of content (and added to daily) BBC Store allows the viewer to instantly own and keep digital copies of a wide range of BBC programmes. As well as being able to buy single episodes, or complete series, bundles of programmes can be purchased. There are also themed collections, gathered from the BBC archive. The service currently focuses on drama, entertainment, and factual programming, but will strive to add more content for children, as well as music programming; sports programming and current affairs are more problematical. The viewer can stream programmes they have bought online instantly when signed into BBC Store and BBC iPlayer via the browser on mobile, tablet, PC or Mac. To watch purchases without an internet connection programmes can be downloaded to a PC or Mac using the BBC Store Downloader.
