Yeah, that did kinda take me aback. However, I applied since the info that needs to be supplied really isn't *that* freaky. So, we'll see what happens...

Well, their Privacy Statement assures us their firewalls will protect our secrets day and night so I'm feeling the security.

I've also applied, having seen the pilot (Veoh has its uses...even if they are technically illegal). Look forward to seeing what happens!

Heya natas--unfortunately at Hulu us eurotrash are still greeted by "Sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed from within the United States."

if there's a UK station that syndicates the show, see if their website offers online viewing.
I'm in Canada, and while NBC and other US networks don't allow viewing in "my area", Canadian networks (Global, CTV) also offer those shows for viewing on their own sites (which, consequently, are not available to US viewers )
Try checking your local network websites, if they offer episodes online.

Or, just pack up and move to the United States. But that isn't really cost effective.

How to watch Hulu outside of the US: http://www.kuanhoong.com/2007/12/18/how-to-watch-hulu-shows-outside-of-usa . And if that doesn't work / isn't your cup of tea, there are always torrents .

Applied and waiting.
Also, dont know if you noticed, but another webisode "Disappearance" was posted:
http://www.nbc.com/My_Own_Worst_Enemy/video/categories/webisodes/734262/
Note: I think the dude in the end of the vid looks like Tom Grady (AJ SUN VP, Strategic Management) who is also JANUS Operative "Raymond".
