BBC iPlayer reports a record third-quarter performance, with a total of 1.65 billion streams over the period.

Live coverage of major events helped propel BBC iPlayer to a record third-quarter performance, with 1.65 billion streams over the period.

The funeral of The Queen on September 19 was the most-watched event, with 5m streams of the coverage, followed by 4m for the Women's Euro 2022 final, while the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham accumulated 52.5m streams in total.

Dan McGolpin, director of BBC iPlayer, said: "The nation turns to the BBC for the big moments and for increasing numbers of people that means turning to BBC iPlayer.

"There was an extraordinary range of relevant programming available for all to view both before and after the BBC's coverage of the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and so many of this summer's key sporting moments were captured live including the famous victories of the Lionesses.

"Once again BBC iPlayer provided something for everyone, from original drama such as Marriage to the intrigue and thrills of The Capture, the stunning landscapes of Frozen Planet II and the joyous return of Strictly Come Dancing."
