A range of strong dramas and live sport have helped BBC iPlayer to achieve its best ever February performance.
Across the month more than 285 million programmes were watched by viewers, a 4 per cent year-on-year increase, with average daily requests of 10.2 million.

The first episodes of new drama series Requiem and Collateral were the most popular programmes of the month, with 1.9 and 1.7 million requests respectively. McMafia continued its strong performance in January, with episodes seven and eight getting 1.4 and 1.2 million requests apiece.


Live sport also played a big role in the month, with the Winter Olympics, FA Cup and Six Nations all contributing to an increase in overall live viewing in BBC iPlayer in February. Live viewing accounted for 21 per cent of all requests, the highest proportion since June 2017.
