So you are browsing the net searching for something to watch, and you've exhausted BBC iPlayer and Youtube for brilliant stuff to watch. Perhaps you simply fancy tuning in to something a little different. Worry not, as there are loads of alternative out there for you to feast your eye balls on. Carry on reading to discover some alternatives available on the World Wide Web.
BBC Archive
If you are in the mind-set that everything produced for TV these days is garbage, then this is the place to be. The BBC has decided to keep a variety of its archived material (thus the name) online for people that fancy a slice of the good ol' days. You can watch stuff like documentaries, art and sports on there, and even stuff like old James Bond and Doctor Who series.
MSN Video Player
So there had been this show that was broadcasted on one of the BBC channels, although it was more than 30 days ago so you cannot catch it on the iPlayer. You may want to take a look at the MSN Video Player. You're not going to get everything, but it does have some of the classic heavy hitters such as Spooks and The League of Gentelmen.
Funny or Die
A bit hit-and-miss, this is a comedy sketch medium with a mix of non-professional and pro actors and videos. It certainly isn't family friendly, but worth a look if you're hankering after something funny to watch.
Blip.tv and Vimeo
If you would like user generated content with more polish, check these blokes out. Some of the more favored channels have entire series produced for you to watch for free.
British Pathe
This is a great spot to get cost free clips for classic factual clips from late 1900's to the 1970's. You can watch these free online, or if you prefer you can download them for a fee.
I'd counsel that you keep the viewing on your house network instead of the office one, otherwise the IT support guy might have a difficult time balancing the bandwidth.
