Please note that although the site says that it's available worldwide, in fact it is only available in the North American Direct2Drive store and not the European one.
I'll be back, one day, when I feel like it.

So it's available for download for free for UK residents, and for download for North Americans for $3.70? The reason people outside of the UK are being asked to pay for it is that people in the UK have already paid. Their tax money supports the BBC.

Gosh I wondered what the BBC TV licence fee us UKers pay was going towards! The games do look kind of cool though.
