Yes, I get that, but my point was that just because Britbox will not appear on Sky doesn't mean it is doomed to failure.

I certainly wouldn't bother with it until they have the originals appearing. At the moment it would appeal more to UKTV and non-subscription audiences.

I don't watch repeats so I'm certainly not going to pay for them!
