Some series were already released during beta-testing, but the streamer has confirmed its pipeline of content for the coming months.
BritBox features the biggest collection of British box-sets available in one place. This includes brand new and recent programmes as well as classic British TV.
Full box-sets include all six series and specials of Downton Abbey, all three series of Broadchurch, seven series of Only Fools and Horses, three series of Gavin & Stacey and both series of Extras.
BritBox will be the home of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple and Poirot, and reality fans will be able to access all the past series of Love Island.
BBC shows coming to BritBox in the next six months include The Great British Bake Off (series 1-7), Les Miserables and The Split. Shows including The Office, Happy Valley and Doctor Foster will also become available on the service.
Further programmes will be added as existing licence agreements with other streaming services expire.
