Hulu's streaming-video library just got a big infusion of British programming with the addition of nearly 150 shows from the BBC -- including popular sci-fi series Doctor Who, psychological crime thriller Luther, sitcom Fawlty Towers and car show Top Gear.
More than 2,000 episodes from these shows will be available on Hulu's U.S. subscription service Hulu Plus as part of a multi-year licensing agreement with BBC Worldwide North America. The deal isn't exclusive, meaning you can already find some of these programs on such services as Netflix, iTunes and Amazon Instant Video.
