While there's no shortage of streaming services out there, some are more niche than others. Case in point: BritBox, a streaming platform created by BBC and ITV that specialises, as you might have guessed, in British telly. If you're a fan of British TV shows – comedy, crime or drama – you'll find plenty on BritBox to satisfy your growing appetite.
The service comes with a range of shows and even a few movies to keep you company in your downtime, with new titles added every month. From classics such as Doctor Who to new additions like a remake of British classic All Creatures Great & Small and The Pembrokeshire Murders, there's something on BritBox for everyone.
Even better, you can enjoy the service completely free for an entire week thanks to the free trial offer. Here's how to sign up and take advantage of everything BritBox has to offer for seven days without doing any damage to your credit card.
How do I get the BritBox free trial?
Signing up for BritBox is quick and painless. All you need to do is follow these steps.
Once there, click on the big blue "Start watching for free" button. You can't miss it.
Step 2. Create your account
In the next screen, you'll be prompted to enter your personal information: name and email address. You need to pick a password for your BritBox account and confirm it. You also have the option of signing up for BritBox newsletters and promo offers by checking the box at the bottom of the form, but that's not mandatory. Once everything is filled up, click on the "Create Account" button.
Step 3. Enter your payment details
In the next screen, you need to pick your plan: monthly or annual. Then, scroll down and enter your credit card information. You won't be billed until your free week is up. You can also enter a promo code if you have one or opt to purchase a gift subscription for someone else.
Step 4. Start streaming
Once your payment information is filled up, click on the "Submit" button. Congrats! You're now able to stream your favourite British content.
Once you have a BritBox account, you can install the app on your preferred devices. BritBox works on PC/Mac, iOS and Android phones and tablets, Samsung smart TVs, LG smart TVs, Apple TV, Chromecast/AirPlay, Fetch and Telstra TV.
Is there a catch to the BritBox free trial?
No. Once you sign up, you can watch as much as you want without being charged for an entire week. However, once those 7 days are up, your credit card will be charged with either $8.99 for a month or $89.99 for a year, depending on which subscription plan you picked.
If you don't enjoy using the service, it's crucial to remember to cancel your subscription before the free trial expires. We recommend setting up a calendar reminder for the day before the free week is up and decide then whether or not you want to keep your subscription.
You should also be aware of data consumption. Streaming burns a lot of data, so it's best to keep track of your consumption if you prefer to watch content on the go. Unfortunately, BritBox doesn't allow you to download titles to watch offline (unless you subscribe through Apple TV channels), so streaming via Wi-Fi is your best option.

Important information about this website
findershopping.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
