Why register for a BBC account?

It helps you get the best out of the BBC. Once you’re signed in to your account, you can…

  • Add programmes and content to enjoy later
  • Get personalised recommendations
  • Get notifications about things that interest you
  • Comment on stories
  • Buy programmes on BBC Store

And that's not all...

When you’re signed in to your account, you’ll also get a more joined-up BBC experience. For example, if you pause an iPlayer programme on your phone, you’ll be able to pick up where you left off on your computer.
