To watch episodes on BritBox, you typically start by finding the show you want to view, then navigate through its available seasons and episodes to select what you'd like to play. BritBox offers a straightforward interface across various devices to help you quickly access content.
Finding Your Desired Show
Before you can watch an episode, you need to locate the show itself. BritBox provides several intuitive ways to browse and search its extensive library:
- Browse Categories: Explore curated collections, genres (e.g., Drama, Comedy, Mystery), or A-Z listings directly from the BritBox homepage or main menu. This is ideal if you're looking for something new or a specific type of content.
- Search Function: If you know the title of the show or a specific actor, use the search bar. This is usually represented by a magnifying glass icon and allows you to quickly pinpoint the exact series you're looking for.
Once you've found a show, select its tile or image to go to its dedicated show page.
Navigating Episodes and Seasons
Upon arriving at a show's page, you'll typically see an overview of the series, including a synopsis, cast information, and the available episodes. How you access and switch between seasons can vary slightly depending on the device you're using.
Accessing Different Seasons by Device
Here's how to navigate to another season of a show on popular BritBox-supported devices:

Selecting and Playing an Episode
After selecting your desired season, you will see a list of episodes available within that season.
