So it's been talked about for a long time, and finally announced today. Not sure about the name! Presumably this will be more attractive to those outside the UK?

The BBC and ITV have been merrily selling Britbox to North American customers for quite some time already.

Today's announcement is specifically about how the broadcasters will bring Britbox to the UK market as a 'British Netflix' offering.

I'd say it sounds more like a British 'hulu', in fairness.

Do we really need three threads on this?
