From the 27th November, the BBC will make BBC One and BBC Two available to watch live online as they air. The corporation is adding their two main channels to the ones already available, which include News 24, BBC Three and BBC Four. So will you watch their shows like Strictly Come Dancing online when you can't get to a television?
This week's episode of British Style Genius looked at the impact of the world famous Saville Row tailors on fashion. Looking at British designers such as Paul Smith and Ozwald Boateng the documentary looked back at the tailoring industry from 1900s to the present day. This week I thought I would test how well you were watching and how much you learnt with a quiz! 
This autumn, the BBC are treating us to a star-studded 13-part TV series Merlin which will feature appearances from Anthony Head, Santiego Cabrera, Michelle Ryan, Richard Wilson and John Hurt.
It's already been picked up to air in the US on NBC, and after seeing this trailer I'm really looking forward to seeing it. The series is being advertised in cinemas as well as on TV thanks to its epic nature, but what do you think – will you be watching when it airs?
Wow. I haven't thought of this show in ages. The Young Ones was an '80s BBC comedy about four unlikely roommates — a punk rocker, Vyvyan, an anarchist, Rick, a short guy who wore sunglasses all the time, Mike, and my favorite, a hippie named Neil.

It has been revealed that in September BBC2 will be showing a series about British fashion and style called 'British Style Genius'.
The programme questions what makes British style and fashion so distinct considering the looks and trends that have come to define British style.
They will consider all aspects of the industry from the High Street to couture, from bespoke tailoring to street cool, and from fashion rebels to traditionalist Sloanes. 
For all you folks who are huge fans of the Simon Pegg-Jessica Hynes comedy Spaced, you've probably already ordered or put at the top of your Netflix queue the new series DVDs, which are releasing this upcoming Tuesday, July 22.

While Americans only have 43 leaders to rate historically, the Brits have many more centuries of eccentric monarchs to discuss and criticize.
British historians want to figure out which monarch was the biggest failure. King George III didn't make the list, since I guess the Brits can't decide whether to thank or blame him for losing the American colonies.

The BBC has announced exciting plans to aim to show episodes of the third series of Heroes within a week of the US premiering that same episode. As a big TV fan, I am buzzing about this decision, and hope that ITV, Channel 4 and other channels are taking notice and making plans to follow suit. Along with being able to view shows online, this is just one more way that the internet is changing the face of TV – it is now so easy to mistakenly read spoilers of your favourite American TV shows.
$23 billion has been lost, stolen, or not properly accounted for in Iraq, according to a BBC News investigation. BBC claims that private contractors have exploited the conflict and reconstruction in a potentially criminal manner. There are 70 pending cases against private US companies for war profiteering, but the details of these cases are being kept mum under a gag order.
