South Africa is the fifth region in the world that the streaming service has expanded to, following the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. BBC Studios president of global distribution Paul Dempsey noted the affection held by South Africans for British television.
“BritBox will bring South Africans an unrivalled collection of British TV, from beloved classics to the biggest shows direct from the BBC and ITV,” the website states.
This is pretty good news as I used to subscribe to the US version of this service via VPN. It's a great alternative to US style TV because many will appreciate there is a quite a difference in style regarding comedy on US vs British TV.
