I've been able to watch some of them on YouTube but when I go back the next day, they've been taken down because of copyright infringement (so why were they allowed to be posted in the first place?). A lot of them have links to other sites where you have to put in your information and a credit card number (even though they're supposed to be free). I've always watched YouTube as a free service where I didn't have to go through another site so I'm leery of doing this.
I've been home-recording the season that's airing on PBS in my area (Season 4, I think... with Ruby, Kimberly, Ali, Deborah, etc.), which is what I did with the one on PBS in 2014 (Season 5, I think... with Martha, Nancy, Luis, etc.) On YouTube, I've been watching what's listed as Season 6 (with Ugne, Dorret, Tamal, Nadiya, etc.). I was able to watch Episodes 1-8 but I've been stymied on Episode 9, at least up till now (those blasted links are available but I'm going to wait and see if the episode gets uploaded the "regular" way).
I've checked all over the Internet trying to find these shows (any and/or all seasons) to buy on DVD but I haven't had any luck. I went through the websites of the BBC, PBS, and Amazon, along with sites like eBay and ioffer in hopes that someone had home-recorded them and had them for sale. The only one I was able to find available for purchase was Season 5 but I home-recorded that one last year. It's so frustrating! I absolutely love these shows and would really enjoy having every episode of every season available.

Even if they're taken down, you can do a search and find one that isn't. I dl'd S6 eps 6&7 a few days ago and converted them to avi to watch on my TV. Be vigilant. It's obviously going to take them another whole year to show this new series. The one with Ruby is a repeat from last year.

It's not so much that they would be allowed to do so, but that they just went ahead and did it. I am a baker, & I get many people who want certain characters. They think because they see it on the web of people posting these cakes that it is ok to make them. Not! This is where it is a little different: If the maker of the cake is selling(like me), they need the permission. If they are just making it for family/friends then they can put the images up-no need for permission. Many of those up on the web though are selling these cakes. They need to be careful because companies, like Disney, will sue. YouTube is a little different as unless they have the permission, they cannot air something copyrighted(money or no money involved).
I'm not sure about BBC, but your "local" PBS will air what they are given access to. Mine for instance took 2 1/2 years to air the last Poirot movie. Whereas, many PBS aired it quite a while ago. This is just like this show, just started airing last year like you. So this year they are on the one with Ruby, Ali, etc. It's a bit frustrating because you like to come on these forums & talk about what just aired. But.....
