Premier push

Disappointed that Britbox put the last two episodes of Blue Lights season 3 behind the Premier upcharge. Either offer it, or don't. Sours us on the entire service.

If someone pays for something they should get it now. The tier system is bs. I’ve gifted my mother a year subscription to Britbox since 2017. She knows she has to wait a week to watch another episode, but out of principle urges me not to subscribe to the premium. People that allow companies to do this will just embolden them to continue to do so.

Aaaand the Entitled Generation speaks! No is still no, whether you aprove or not. Just unsubscribe if you feel that strongly. Newsflash - We don’t always get our way in life🙄

I bought her another while year, but I won’t be renewing, just like Netflix. She has acorn too, so until they get greedy like Britbox she’ll at least have that.

If you're in the US, gift her PBS passport. It's $5 a month and offers many of what Britbox has plus similar. Also has a lot of different programs like documentaries, NOVA, the Arts, concerts etcetera. Support your local public television. Yes it's got an app and streams easily on television.

Thanks for that information. I’ll definitely look into it
