I can draw a flying car with lasers attached to it, doesn't mean it would actually happen. And if someone built the flying laser car later, I can't take credit for it just because I doodled it on a napkin years before it was created.
It's cool that some people at the BBC tried to make a video streaming app. Many companies tried, several successfully, yet Netflix beat all of them for a whole variety of reasons. I seriously doubt BBC had the engineering talent to defeat Netflix, even if there weren't millions of regulations preventing a government-owned media company from innovating.
