All powered vehicles, including electric vehicles, are classed as motor vehicles under the RTA, even those ***** electric scooters, although there is an exception for some [but not all] electric bicycles. They are therefore all subject to speed limits and restrictions on where they can be legally used, must be taxed and insured, and users must have licences and are subject to minimum age requirements.

Yes. I've just checked and it's going from Sky and Virgin also. Apparently, Offcom flogged the frequencies its multiplex uses to EE who wanted more of them for 5G. BFBS decided that that without being of Freeview it wasn't financially viable to run the channel just on the paid for networks.
As always, a public service (in this case run by a charity mainly for our servicemen and women and their families but appreciated by many other viewers) loses out to commercial interests.
I knew one their senior engineers who I'd worked with on the Microlive programme in the 1980s who went to BFBS after leaving the beeb. He showed me round their HQ near Missenden once.

Have you noticed on the Amazon advert 'Pompey destroyed in 79AD', the Alexa moves itself as the camera focuses in. Creepy or what!

I don't think an ordinary Roman, citizen or slave, would know anything about the Anno Domini dating system (Popularised by the Venerable Bede in the 7th/8th century).
Year dating in Rome around then was by reference to the current Caesar and the Consuls for the year. So if the poor bu@@er had his wits about him, he might have blurted, in Latin, something like "its the Year of the Consulship of Titus and Vespasianus", or if an intellectual, "Year 832 since the founding of Rome".
The movement of an Echo device is the least of the annoyances about that futile ad!
Hehehehehehe...
btw Pompey was a Roman general who died over a century before the eruption of Vesuvius, which destroyed Pompeii, Herculaneum and other places......
