Fans of shows such as Little Britain, I'm Alan Partridge, The Office, Doctor Who and the League of Gentlemen – who’s your mobile phone service provider? If it’s O2, rejoice! Auntie – that’s the BBC to our overseas readers – is making clips from her favourite television shows available for O2 users to buy.
The mobile phone operator and BBC Worldwide (the commercial arm of the Beeb) have agreed a deal for 300 pieces of media to appear in the O2 Active mobile portal. “BBC Worldwide has access to some of the best known and most loved TV brands," said Peter Mercier, head of mobile at BBC Worldwide. "O2 is the largest UK operator by subscriber numbers so this is clearly a great deal for us.” |
