As of now, the iPlayer allows users to watch the programmes of last seven days, but the ‘series stacking’ feature has stretched the limit to twenty-eight days after the original telecast date of the show.
Initially, the service would be available with the streamed programmes on the iPlayer only, and it would apparently be extended to downloaded applications from BBC’s website, as well as, the Virgin Media version of the iPlayer thereafter.
Simon Nelson from BBC has stated that the service would help the iPlayer viewers in watching their favourite programmes whenever and wherever they wish to; “Series Stacking really make the unmissable, unmissable”, he added.
