Given the initial reaction to the old material on there, both Sky and Virgin have decided not to have Britbox on their platforms. That is bad news indeed for ITV. They could have done so much better thsn this, how disappointing! Where are all these originals we were promised, anyway.

Too little, too late when they start coming through, I expect.
