... for the watchthru of "An Adventure in Time And Space Or Possibly Vice Versa I Can Never Remember Which".
But, aside from 'Doctor Who', what's on Britbox that's worth watching? Because whenever I try and find out whether things I want to watch are available, they never are. No 'Box of Delights', no 'Tales of the Rodent Sherlock Holmes', no 'Border Cafe' for Chrissakes.

Hello again.
Tails of the Rodent Sherlock Holmes? How have I missed this? So, which rodent is the Great Detective? Mouse, rat, gerbil, hamster, guinea pig, capybara...
Box of Delights was delightful. Scary but magical with that great theme tune. Never forgotten it.

Tails of the Rodent Sherlock Holmes? BBC costume drama from the 1980s, starring the person who saved the UK's first breakfast tv strand, TV-AM, from going bust. "Tales" was one of a series of shows he did after defecting to the BBC.

Hello again. Oh my goodness. Someone put this on YouTube! "BBC costume drama from the 1980s". Hee hee! I have rather mixed feelings about Mr. Roland Rat. His Saturday afternoon series, Roland Rat - The Series preceded the 1986 run of Doctor Who - The Trial of a Timelord. So, I had to sit through the Rat's juvenile humour to get to a series of Doctor Who I was extremely indifferent to. It was a wonder I didn't defect to The A Team which everyone else in the house was watching! After, the Wilderness Years, my most unhappy memories of Doctor Who.
Thank you for replying to my enquiry so quickly. I still think the lead should have been Colin the Capybara.

Well, I logged into Britbox ready for later, and it's a bit of a desert, isn't it? Not even got all the animated DW in there.

At least in Canada, we have all the avalible classic serials, and a couple of the animated recronstuctions. Britbox has a lot of stuff over here outside of Who as well.

Interesting: the app also has a few isolated episodes (e.g. surviving episode of 'The Celestial Toymaker') that I didn't see on the website.
