Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?

“Why didn’t they ask Evans?” are the mysterious final words of a dying man, uttered to a bewildered Bobby (Will Poulter), the village vicar’s son. Based on the 1934 Agatha Christie novel, this star-studded series also features Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Jim Broadbent and Paul Whitehouse.

The Dry

The Dry follows 35-year-old recovering alcoholic, Shiv (Roisin Gallagher, The Fall), returning to her hometown of Dublin after a raucous couple of years in London. But staying on the wagon is a bit easier said than done.

Reel Britannia

What exactly is British cinema? That is the question posed in this love letter to the history of modern cinema created right here in Blighty, featuring interviews with some of the biggest names in the game, including Ken Loach (I, Daniel Blake), Mike Leigh (Mr. Turner), Stephen Frears (Philomena) and Mike Newell (Four Weddings And A Funeral).

Sanditon

The second series of this period drama from screenplay supremo Andrew Davies (House of Cards, Vanity Fair, Colin Firth’s Pride And Prejudice), based on Jane Austen’s unfinished manuscript, comes exclusively to BritBox. Sanditon is a seaside resort on the cusp of dramatic change, and when Charlotte (Rose Williams) returns to the town she is soon thrust into a world of secrets, intrigue and possibly love.

Doctor Who

Get ready to fly off on this trip of a lifetime with everyone’s favourite Time Lord. If you’ve loved the modern series, take a trip back in time (and space) and revisit the original Doctors with classic Doctor Who on BritBox. Whether you’re a Tom Baker fan, or Colin Baker was your man, they’re all here.

Murder In Provence

Endeavour’s Roger Allam stars as French investigating judge Antoine Verlaque alongside Father Brown’s Nancy Carroll in this new BritBox Original. In the picturesque French city of Aix-en-Provence, the pair investigate the more sinister underbelly lurking in the shadows of their beautiful surroundings. Based on ML Longworth’s crime novels, this three-part series is well worth your time.

Magpie Murders

Based on the bestseller by Anthony Horowitz, this BritBox Original is a gripping and dark mystery tale that you won’t be able to switch off. Conleth Hill (Game Of Thrones) is author Alan Conway whose editor, Susan Ryeland (Lesley Manville, Mum), can’t wait to read his latest novel. There’s just one problem: it’s missing a final chapter. Actually, there’s a bigger problem. Alan is also missing...

Spitting Image

The classic satire series is back in this BritBox Original. No public figure is off-limits as they get the puppet treatment – whether it’s the sporting world, reality stars or politicians, everyone is fair game. Fabulously funny and ridiculously rude, it’ll have the rich and famous hiding behind their sofas.

Only Fools And Horses

Arguably the greatest British comedy of all time can be watched in its entirety on BritBox. From those early days in Nelson Mandela House right up until the final episodes, watch Del, Rodney and Grandad (and then Uncle Albert) as they wheel and deal their way to becoming millionaires. Grab a Baileys and cherryade and settle in.

Hotel Portofino

Set in the 1920s on the Italian Riviera, Hotel Portofino is a BritBox Original that follows Natascha McElhone as Bella Ainsworth, the daughter of a wealthy industrialist who runs a plush hotel where staff take care of the residents’ every whim. But with a fiendish whodunnit mystery woven throughout, it’s not all cocktails and canapes…
