There is a lot of fierce competition out there and obviously the market was too crowded for them.

No, it's because most people prefer subscription streaming rather than purchase. The odd purchase can be done via Amazon, Google Play, iTunes etc.

The Netflix originals in particular are setting a new quality standard. The Crown and House of Cards are just two examples of the standards that the BBC need to match or beat to justify their compulsory subscription fee.

I'd be surprised if they can add anything of real significance, especially for those with a pay TV service.
