ITV is fast proving himself in the online stakes following the successful relaunch of their ITV.com website, and now a whole new range of classic TV shows will be available for 30 days after their showing on ITV3. The shows, including favourites like Upstairs, Downstairs, Poirot and On the Buses can be found in the ITV Catch Up section which is at http://www.itv.com/CatchUp.

The move is part of wider efforts to showcase more classic ITV content on the broadcaster’s website. 

Use of the ITV catch up service has surged. Since launch in August 2007, ITV.com combined with ITV Local has received over 69 million video views and there has been a 362% increase in usage for video across ITV’s portfolio of sites.

ITV.com has seen a four-fold rise in video views since August which represents an average increase of 53% month-on-month.

The programmes available to watch on Catch Up include episodes of: On the Buses, Kavanagh QC, Inspector Morse, Cadfael, Upstairs, Downstairs, Dempsey and Makepeace, Heartbeat, Robin of Sherwood, Home to Roost, Rising Damp, Taggart, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Wycliffe.
