Am I the only one who is very disappointed that David Attenborough's new wildlife series is going to be shown on Netflix, and not the BBC?
We don't have Netflix as we feel we can't justify the extra cost.
Does anyone know if it will be repeated on BBC at a later date?

Yes. We haven't go Netflix either. They seem to be taking over.

I don't know if it will be repeated on BBC. I hope so.

I seem to have Netflix. No idea how it comes up on my TV menu but there it is. I certainly don’t pay so completely mystified.

I am off to have a look!!
You can subscribe and have a month's free trial, I think, but you'd have to remember to cancel after that or else they will take direct debits after the free month.

When I was caring for poorly DGD the other week I was astonished at the range of programmes available on Netflix.

Our TV isn't a smart one Jalima, so we would have to buy a streaming stick or similar first, on top of paying a monthly fee. We are not prepared to do that.

Oh, do you have to have a smart tv?

Littleannie Mon 25-Mar-19 17:19:10

I believe so Jamila. It will then automatically show on the screen menu, but you still have to pay monthly to access it. I think I'm right in saying this. Otherwise you buy a streaming stick which plugs into the HDMI socket and connects to the wi-fi. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.

I expect we'll be able to buy a box set to show on our steam-driven tv grin

I wish they'd put all the football on Netflix. And the snooker.

I wish Sky would go bust. No more football, golf, motor bikes ........

When you sign up to any of these free month trails, cancel straight away. You will still get the free 1 month.
This way, if you forget the cancellation kicks in.
Do you buy from Amazon? If yes, look at Amazon Prime.
You will get a lot of stuff free postage.

Thanks petra, I thought it may cancel the free month.

I signed up to Amazon Prime by mistake - but did cancel it in time.
