Craving Crumpets and Crime Dramas? How to Get BritBox on Your Amazon Prime Video
Let's face it, sometimes American TV just doesn't scratch that quirky British telly itch. You know the feeling: you want to binge on witty repartee, explore a cozy village murder mystery, or maybe just witness the dramatic highs and lows of a baking competition. Well, fret no more, Anglophiles (and Anglophiles-in-training), because there's a solution at your fingertips – BritBox on Amazon Prime Video!

But First, a Public Service Announcement (Skip If You're Already a Prime Pro)
For those of you who've been living under a rock (or perhaps a particularly large Union Jack tea cozy), Amazon Prime Video is a treasure trove of movies and shows. But did you know it can be even MORE magnificent with the addition of Prime Video Channels? Think of it as sprinkling magic fairy dust (or perhaps some posh crumpet crumbs) on your Prime experience.

Now, Back to Our Regularly Scheduled BritBox Bonanza
BritBox, for the uninitiated, is a streaming service overflowing with the best of British television. We're talking classic Doctor Who, the addictive period drama Downton Abbey, and a healthy dose of whodunits like Vera and Midsomer Murders (because, let's be honest, there's something strangely comforting about quaint villages with a surprisingly high murder rate).
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.![]()
Here's the real kicker: You can add BritBox as a Prime Video Channel, meaning you can seamlessly switch between fawning over Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice and freaking out over a Great British Bake Off contestant's collapsing souffle – all within the glorious confines of your Amazon Prime Video account.

So, How Do You Get This BritBox Bliss on Your Screen?
Here's the simple (and hopefully not too stressful) breakdown:
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.![]()
- Log in to your Amazon Prime Video account. Because, you know, gotta be logged in to party.
- Head over to the Prime Video Channels section. This might be a fancy menu option or a hidden portal guarded by a grumpy corgi (just kidding...probably).
- Search for BritBox. Unless you've been living in a telly-less wasteland, this shouldn't be too tricky.
- Click that glorious "Subscribe" button. And just like that, you've unlocked a world of British brilliance.
Important Note: Subscribing through Amazon means you can only watch BritBox on Prime Video, not on the dedicated BritBox app. But hey, access to a plethora of posh telly without needing another login? Sounds like a win to me!
There you have it, folks! With these simple steps, you'll be well on your way to enjoying a cuppa and a marathon session of your favorite British shows. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Inspector Morse and a particularly perplexing case involving a missing vicar and a stolen pie. Cheerio!
