Frankly, old chap, I don't think you'd see it if it was biting your leg off.

There's still a sizeable chunk of the population who don't have smart tvs, Sky, Virgin, BT or Talk Talk and so for them, on demand viewing is not easily available.

It's the trend you should be watching, not current numbers.

Given the stink that was created when Virgin took off the UKTV channels, I wouldn't be so sure, Den. Britbox really do need to add new original programmes on a reguler basis to become a force to be reckoned with, though.

I can't see myself subscribing for the foreseeable future given that new material will not be very prominent for a while.
