I think they're disabled for non-US viewers. Don't know why, other than perhaps it's aan arrangement with whatever network broadcasts the show in the UK.
Or the adverts. When we get shows from america, like live sporting events, that have those pop-up ads onscreen for american products? They get fuzzed out, because US adverts aren't cleared to run in the UK.
the UK misses out on a lot of extra content involved with things like this - apparently, theres a lot of spoof commercials in the US broadcasts of lost which have never been shown in the UK.
