1.83bn streams in BBC iPlayer record-breaking quarter

April 29, 2022 11.59 Europe/London By Julian Clover

The first three months of 2022 have produced a new record-breaking quarter for the BBC iPlayer.

New dramas The Tourist (pictured), The Responder and This Is Going To Hurt contributed to 1.83 billion streams.

Other big hits included returning favourites The Apprentice, Peaky Blinders and Killing Eve, as well as strong performances for The Winter Olympics and new natural history series The Green Planet.

The first episode of Jamie Dornan’s Australian outback mystery series The Tourist provided the year’s most popular individual episode so far with 6.1 million times. The boxset has been streamed 32 million times.

Lord Sugar’s return with The Apprentice is the year’s biggest box set so far – streamed 33 million times in the first three months of the year.

Dan McGolpin, director of BBC iPlayer, said: “BBC iPlayer is more popular than ever in 2022 and the rollout of a more modern look has helped the service to notch-up its best ever quarter across the first three months.”

The BBC continues to add more archive content to the iPlayer including comedy classics The Young Ones, Blackadder, Mum, 2pointfour Children, and Rev. It’s withdrawing from its stake in the UK version of Britbox.
