Fancy a healthy portion of British telly? BritBox has your back. BritBox has been available in the likes of Canada, the US and UK for a few years, but only released into Australia on 23 November 2020.
The niche streaming service is very similar to Acorn TV. While it has a wide collection of British television that includes popular shows like Doctor Who, Vera and Midsomer Murders, there's quite a bit of cross over between BritBox and Acorn TVs library.
As the name suggests, BritBox is a streaming service that specialises in British television.
A joint venture between the two largest networks in the UK – BBC and ITV – the platform hosts previous and current seasons of popular TV shows from the UK, some you won't be able to find anywhere else.
The list includes both classic series and more recent shows express from the UK.
BritBox offers two types of plans – monthly and annual. You can get access to the British streaming platform for $8.99 a month or save with an annual subscription, priced at $89.99 a year.
From mysteries and histories to beloved classics and intriguing new titles, BritBox has a wide collection of television series. You can binge beloved shows like Doctor Who, Midsomer Murders, Luther, Upstairs Downstairs, Mr Bean, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, and more.
Or, you can discover new series straight from the UK like There She Goes and BritBox originals like The Mallorca Files. The platform also hosts plenty of lifestyle and documentary series, such as Gardeners' World, Antiques Roadshow and Brexitcast and to only name a few.
To also give Australians something a little more relatable there's a creepy puppet that pokes fun at prime minister Scott Morrison in an original show called Spitting Image.
The service lets you browse the entire library before signing up, so you can check it out for yourself and see if there's anything you're interested in.
Yes. The service offers a free seven-day trial, so you can sign up and enjoy all the British TV you can handle completely free for a week.
Just make sure to cancel your subscription before the trial is up if you decide the service isn't for you. That way, you won't be billed.
You can watch BritBox on your laptop/PC or download the app to your favourite device to watch on the go or on the big screen. Here are all the devices BritBox is compatible with:
BritBox is pretty basic in terms of features. The interface is user-friendly and easy to navigate. The search function is intuitive and you can set up parental controls and closed captions. The service also recommends similar shows based on the page you are on. You won't have to sit through any ads while you binge.
On the other hand, the platform doesn't offer multiple profiles and you can only download content if you are subscribed through Apple TV channels. As for video quality, the maximum is HD. Audio descriptions aren't available.
If you love British telly, sure! The service is a great resource for TV enthusiasts who want to rediscover classic series or find something new to watch from the UK. There's plenty of content available, so there's no chance you'll run out of stuff to binge anytime soon.
Plus, the platform comes with a seven-day free trial, so you can test it out and decide if you want to keep it in the long run.
