War and Peace on BBC TV (UK)

I see that the BBC will be screeining a new adaptation of War and Peace starting in January 2016. Maybe viewers outside of UK will be able to watch via the online iplay service?

Hopefully you will. However, its going to be a vastly cut down account. Even the BBC Series of the 1970's ran for close to 17 hours. The Soviet film for 12 hours. This will only be 6 hours. Shame, but at least its something Napoleonic.
I should imagine if you have the BBC iPlayer you should be able to catch it.
