is this true? I hope so, but I can't see anything about it online - where did you see it?

Yep, it's official, part of a deal between the BBC and Amazon's Prime Instant Video.

will it be on normal channels or only on that Amazon Prime thing?

It will be available on Amazon Prime first and then broadcast on the BBC.

woohoo :)
