Britbox will carry much more, though, as well as new stuff.

At about a fiver a month, it's hardly going to break the bank.

I am completely with you on that.
About 20 years ago, I really enjoyed watching Star Trek - Deep Space Nine and Voyager, but now they just seem outdated and uninteresting. On the other hand, although Fawlty Towers has dated a bit, it's still funny. It's one of the few series that I've seen more than once, but I probably won't watch it again now, unless I put it on for the grandkids.
Like you, the value of Netflix for me is the originals, which are being added to every week.
