BBC iPlayer for iPad Coming: But, Is it Much Too Late for Anyone to Care?

I enjoy watching a number of BBC programs, mostly science fiction. Fortunately, BBC America carries or carried a number of my favorites: Dr. Who, Torchwood, Life on Mars, MI-5, Robin Hood, Survivors and Primeval. Unfortunately, it is often the case that we see these shows on BBC America months after their debut. And, some programs, as far as I am aware, were never available on cable channels I have access to (Red Dwarf comes to mind).
