Disney Channel UK showing Sesame Street?

I heard from someone that the UK version of the Disney Channel recently started showing episodes of Sesame Street from the early 90s. However, I'm not sure this is true. Someone actually DID post a clip of it on YouTube. It's the opening theme of an episode from 1993, and it has the Disney UK "Mickey Ears" logo on it. But the thing is, that video clip of that episode and street scenes had already been uploaded by someone else. So it's possible that the guy just took that clip and stuck the Disney UK logo in the upper right corner. And if you look at some of the guy's other videos, you can tell that he's obsessed with that logo.

Here's the clip of it being shown on Disney UK:

And here's the original video where that clip came from:

Can you tell if that first video is fake? Does anyone who lives in the UK know if Disney UK really picked up Sesame Street?

My goodness! This is like one of the stupidest, most upsetting things I have EVER heard! I was all excited that they were showing old episodes of Sesame Street! That guy who posted it made it seem so realistic! I mean, why in the world would anyone do something like that? And another thing! I so wish I hadn't heard about that RUMORED new website. And I JUST HOPE that Podcast thing isn't what we've been waiting for. I get SO MAD when I hear about something classic SS-related, and then it turns out not to be true!:mad:
