Look at BritBox, a repeats-on-demand service that has branched in to commissioning its own original shows with an excellent three-part series on the rise and fall of 1960s gangsters the Kray twins debuting yesterday.
BritBox is doing what Netflix set out to do eight or nine years ago, but with a British back catalogue.
