Unlike Netflix or Amazon Prime, there seems to be no easy way to browse them that I can see, but you have to go into Episode 1 and then scroll through the whole thing to skip to further episodes.

If I'm doing it wrong, happy to be corrected!
You can search the programme and then pick the appropriate episode you want to see. I agree, it could be better!

If they were sold on as 'exclusives', I agree, but they may have retained the right to make them available on the i-Player as well.

Yes, I think you are right on that, which is a shame, but I suppose needs must. I think that arrangement might be cheaper for the BBC, which would mean they could commission more shows for their channels.

However, with the need to compete with SVOD services and the fact that scheduled tv will diminish over the coming years, they may have to review their strategy.

I know, MM, but what I am saying is that TV over the internet will increase with time. Plans are already being made by some satellite broadcasters for the day when broadcasts will no longer be delivered this way.
