It's nearly March, and BritBox has released their latest schedule for another month of great British television. While the number of shows premiering this month is slightly less than usual, it's a great month for mysteries and gardening programming (and if you've never watched a British gardening show, we strongly recommend giving it a try – they're quietly delightful).

Not a BritBox subscriber? You can sign up for one HERE on their website, or HERE on Amazon Video. Both options offer the same content, but some people find one or the other offers them better compatibility with their devices or better overall streaming quality.

This is Joan Collins

This feature-length documentary takes a look at the long and interesting life of London-born Joan Collins. From the beginning of her career during the Golden Age of Hollywood to later years in Dynasty, her life has been full of excitement, glamour, and handsome men. The documentary is narrated by Joan herself, and it uses a mix of interviews, archival footage, and even home videos to tell her story.

March BritBox Premieres: Date TBD

Gardeners' World returns to BritBox in March 2022 (Date TBD)

Gardeners' World 2022

Garden master Monty Don returns for another 32 episodes full of tips and ideas to help you get the most from your garden. Mary Berry will appear as a special guest this season.

Which New BritBox Shows Will You Be Watching in March 2022?

For us, Murder in Provence and Gardeners' World are the most exciting premieres of the month – but we'll probably give The Bay at least one episode to see if it's any good without Morven Christie. Unlike shows like Doctor Who or Death in Paradise, I'm not sure there's a rich enough world or set of characters to allow for swapping out main characters without losing something, but it's worth giving it a shot.
