The Rise and Fall of TV Rentals in Britain 📺 | Short Documentary
From the birth of the BBC and the introduction of the TV licence fee, to the heyday of colour television and beyond—this documentary explores the fascinating history of television rental in Britain.
In the early days, televisions were a luxury item. The high cost of owning one meant many households turned to rental services instead. As new channels launched and colour TV arrived in the 1970s, the rental market boomed, with companies across the UK offering the latest sets.
But as technology advanced, televisions became cheaper, more reliable, and required fewer repairs. The arrival of flat-screen TVs marked the decline of the rental industry, as buying became far more affordable than renting.
Join us as we take a nostalgic look back at how TV rental shaped everyday life in Britain—and why it eventually faded away.
