Every single episode of Doctor Who from 2005 onwards will be available to watch, as well as all four series of Line Of Duty, and both series of Sarah Lancashire-starrer Happy Valley from December 16.
Series three and four of Sherlock and the 2016 special The Abominable Bride will be available to watch as well.
The full series of The Blue Planet, which was first broadcast in 2001, 2006’s Planet Earth, last year’s Planet Earth II and 2011’s Frozen Planet are also going on iPlayer.
Comedy hits will include the entire series of Inside Number 9, Fleabag and This Country, as well as classic episodes of Gavin & Stacey, Bad Education, Josh, Murder In Successville and Him & Her.
