In addition, BritBox is still weak where it comes to original programming, with one hit (the Spitting Image reboot), and a few titles that didn’t make a big splash so far, such as crime dramas The Beast Must Die and Magpie Murders. Some shows are STILL glaringly missing – partly because their streaming rights were sold to other bodies, or maybe because BritBox needs to keep a flow of content, and can’t drop everything at once. ![]() With streaming TV taking over the market, and American giants like Netflix, Amazon and Disney leading the pack, ITV and the BBC saw the writing on the wall – and decided to jump right into the streaming TV pool, with their streaming subscription service – BritBox.īritBox is therefore a joint venture (ITV owns 90%, and the BBC owns 10%), which curates content from the two founding broadcasters, as well as Channel 5 and Channel 4.īritBox has programmes from the vast archive of the four public broadcasters, with new titles being added every week.

( Note: My first Britbox UK review was originally published on November 7, 2019, and has been updated for 2022). When I originally published this review back in 2019, BritBox was still in Beta – but things have changed a great deal since then (and some annoyingly remained the same), so it’s time to review the service again, and whether it’s at a better spot today to take on the likes of Netflix and Amazon’s Prime Video. More than two years after its launch, BritBox is now a major streaming service in the UK – at least in terms of the amount of content it offers, if not for its number of subscribers – and can be the answer for those who love British television, and nostalgic TV in particular.īritBox UK is a joint streaming service from ITV and the BBC (with additional content from Channel 5 and Channel 4), which aims to be “the home of British TV”, with a lot of content you probably watched before, as well as a few originals.
