On November 19 we announced the launch of the Shows area of the UK site, containing full-length programming from partners including Channel 4, BBC Worldwide and ITN. Today we are happy to announce that Five has been added to that list.


Under the terms of the deal, Five will make its Demand Five video-on-demand catch-up service of new programmes available via YouTube shortly after they air on TV, including shows such as “Neighbours”, “Home And Away” and “The Gadget Show”.





Five also intends to use YouTube as a platform to engage with fans of its shows. For example, plans are afoot to offer YouTube users the opportunity to audition for a guest appearance on “Neighbours”. Stay tuned to the UK blog for more information – you’ll hear it here first.


Have fun,
