The interactive service features content from the channels Dave, Yesterday and Drama. Most programs on the channels are repeat broadcasts of productions from the BBC archives, although the entertainment channels also feature some content produced by other companies and UKTV have also commissioned a small number of programs.
The service offers a wide library of TV shows like A Place to Call Home, An Inspector Calls, Africa, Les Misérables, Death in Paradise, Taskmaster and many more. The shows are broken into several categories including Comedy, Drama, Entertainment, Documentaries and Soaps.

Whether it’s holiday, business or temporary stay abroad, your IP will get detected as coming from outside the UK and your access to UKTV content will be blocked.

If you would like to access UKTV on all your home network-connected devices, you can do it by configuring your home router.
Our solution reroutes part of the Internet traffic responsible for revealing your location via our UK-based server, which makes your IP appear as if coming from within the UK territory. Although the technology is quite sophisticated, the setup itself is actually quite simple and does not require any special skills or extra expenses on software or hardware. If you encounter any problems configuring your devices, please go to our support Knowledge Base section or contact us for help.
