Lots of assumptions there, Den. I think you must have learned by now that there is a continuing appetite for archive material and there is no sign of that abating. If BBC and ITV recall all their old stuff from Netflix and put it on Britbox, where do you think the archive lovers will go? Add to that the demise of the UKTV channels, ITV3 and ITV4, which probably is not as far away as you think, that part of the audience will have nowhere else to go.

Your prediction for Britbox will turn out to be way off beam as it will ultimately flourish and its popularity will surprise you.
