It is the first time the BBC has put so many complete series on the iPlayer in one go.

Every series of both Line of Duty and Happy Valley and series three and four of Sherlock will also be up for grabs.

Classic Christmas EastEnders’ episodes including Den and Angie’s divorce papers (1986) and Max and Stacey’s affair (2007) are going to be available too.

The full original series of 2001’s The Blue Planet, 2006’s Planet Earth, last year’s Planet Earth II and 2011’s Frozen Planet are also included. Comedy offerings include Miranda and Inside Number 9, Fleabag, Gavin & Stacey and Bad Education.
