The same reason there are clips throughout the day on the website and update tweets throughout the day - because some people enjoy keeping relatively up-to-date with what's going on in semi-real time. If there were live feed there'd be many more such threads and some people would know what's gone on through the day and some wouldn't, depending upon whether they just watch the highlights or also watch the live feed.
I've always gone by the theory that, if BBUK have put the clip up, put up an article or tweeted about something - making it available to the public to read or watch - then it's fair game to discuss it on the forum.
ETA: This year I'm not keeping up with the clips/site myself, but I can appreciate that many others are, so seeing stuff on the threads that I haven't seen yet doesn't bother me. I can easily avoid the forum until after the show if I so choose.
