BBC:
Video streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime now have more subscribers than traditional pay TV services in the UK, new data from Ofcom has revealed.
The media regulator says British TV will have to change the way it operates if it wants to compete with the internet giants.
Sharon White, Ofcom's chief executive, says: "We'd love to see broadcasters such as the BBC work collaboratively with ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 so that they have got that scale to compete globally, making shows together, co-producing great shows that all of us can watch.
"I think it would be great to see a British Netflix."

"Mommy, mommy! There's a monster in my closet!"
"Oh, shush. There's no such thing as monsters. Let me prove it to you."
Following the exchange with her son, the mother got up off of the boy's bed and walked over to the closet. The woman then opened the accordion-style closet door about halfway, and stopped. Just as she was about to turn around and smile at her son, a hand reached out of the closet, grabbed her throat, and quickly pulled her in. After this, the closet door slammed shut.
Then came the screaming. Oh, did she scream. The mother screamed so loud that it pierced one's eardrums. This was accompanied by loud bangs and slams, moans of pleasure, and flesh slapping against flesh. The closet door was shaking so violently that it seemed as if it would fall right off. And the boy just stared blankly at the door. Even though he should have run away, he was paralyzed by terror and despair, and so he simply stared. Suddenly, a loud thud was heard, and everything went silent. Total silence.
However, that silence was short-lived; the closet door soon opened partway, and someone's upper body leaned out from within. It... was a man. It was an obese man with beady little black eyes and a smile on his face. Oh, what a smile. Oh, what a horrifying smile it was. As the man exited the closet and crept towards the bed, the little boy simply stared at the nightmarish figure before him. Yes, there was no chance of escape, anyway...
"Night-night!" said the man, as he gently tucked them into bed. To him, seeing them sleep so soundly together was truly heartwarming. The man left the house with a genuine smile on his face, never to return.
Several months later, a mother and her son would be found lying on a bed together. They lived together, they slept together, and now they rotted together.
