I constantly forgot that it existed. I've only bought stuff from there on the advice of spin-off chatroom administrators.
Then again, I have only bought one BBC series on DVD, and that was from Zavvi for £5. Should I need any more, I'll look at CeX or on HotUKDeals.

In the whole time the BBC Shop has been open, I've purchased two boxsets. Spiral and Call the Midwife.
Other BBC boxsets I've largely purchased from shops or Amazon.

Seems there has been some demand at the shop since the closure was announced:

Dear Customer,
We're contacting you with regards to your recent BBC Shop order(s) listed below:

We have experienced unprecedented demand over the last few days and as a result many of our product lines have gone out of stock very quickly. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to fulfill some of the items in your order.
We are currently working through the order cancellations and refunding customers (in cases where payment has already been taken), however this will not be completed until around Wednesday 16th March.

I think that's down to the cuts on the remaining stock. There was also a recent 25% off day just before the closure was announced.
EDIT: Some titles are up to 80% off. Managed to get Doctor Foster for £5.99 and Sherlock Series 3 for £6.

Good offer following that Spoof, Use code JUSTKIDDING until Monday evening to get a single purchase from the BBC Store at half-price.

Have a hunch that closing the 'iPlayer Loophole' has put a spanner in the Connected TV access of Store content. How? If you've bought content on the Store, you're free to use as and how you want. Having to have a licence to access a method of playing this content seems to be a little controversial. I suspect that we'll need to wait for stand-alone apps, whenever that'll happen I don't know.
