BBC Worldwide has announced a new partnership with YouTube and the launch of two new channels for science boffins. <\/p>\n

One will be a new nature channel, showcasing new films created by BBC Earth, along with another science channel with Top Gear’s James May and his crack team of scientists. <\/p>\n

Both will launch early 2013, BBC Worldwide said today, and believes the move will drive its YouTube subscribers base from its current 1.7 million to dizzy new heights. <\/p>\n

The BBC’s most popular channels out of its six on YouTube are BBC Worldwide, Top Gear and EastEnders. <\/p>\n

BBC Digital boss, Daniel Heaf, says the move to YouTube will give it scope for creativity and to experiment with different platforms. <\/p>\n

Daniel Heaf, EVP & Managing Director Digital at BBC Worldwide says the British broadcaster is “very excited” about expanding our successful relationship with YouTube. <\/p>\n

“Not only is it a place to distribute the best British content around the world it will, through our original content, be a place where we can experiment with new forms of creativity.”<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

The deal also sees BBC add to its existing selection of over 8,000 YouTube clips across its 6 redesigned channels, including new clips include Top Gear series 18. <\/p>\n

BBC Worldwide will also be launching a selection of long-form programming in the UK and Canada for the first time, including the first ever episodes of EastEnders, The Likely Lads, a selection from the BBC’s Shakespeare Collection and The Trials of Life and other dramas such as Campion and The Onedin Line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
