On average, nine million people watched BBC Three every week,<ref name="keyfacts">{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/keyfacts/stories/bbcthree.shtml |title=BBC Press Office – BBC Three key facts |publisher=BBC |access-date=11 August 2008 |archive-date=24 February 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080224145320/http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/keyfacts/stories/bbcthree.shtml |url-status=dead }}</ref> and it had a 2.6% share of the 15–34-year-old audience and 1.4% of the whole population, according to the [[Broadcasters' Audience Research Board]] (BARB). These ratings by BARB, the official ratings agency, average out BBC Three's viewing figures over a 24-hour period even though the channel only broadcasts in the evening, giving a distorted sense of the channel's viewership. Despite several official complaints from the BBC, BARB continued to publish figures which the BBC argues are unrepresentative.{{when|date=May 2019}}{{citation needed|date=May 2019}}

BBC Three's programming consists of comedy, drama, spin-off series and repeated episodes of series from BBC One and BBC Two, and other programmes that attempted to alert others of their actions through a series of programmes challenging common beliefs.

An example of BBC Three's comedy output includes the award-winning comedy ''[[Little Britain (TV series)|Little Britain]]'', which in October 2004 broke its previous viewing record when 1.8 million viewers tuned in for a new series.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.brandrepublic.com/news/225419/BBC-Three-last-laugh-Little-Britains-2m-ratings/?HAYILC=RELATED |title=BBC Three has last laugh with Little Britain's 2m ratings |last=Matthews |first=Sam |date=20 October 2004 |work=Brand Republic |access-date=16 November 2013 |archive-date=11 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211021643/https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/bbc-three-last-laugh-little-britains-2m-ratings/225419?src_site=brandrepublic |url-status=live }}</ref> ''Little Britain'' was later broadcast on the BBC's terrestrial analogue channels BBC One and BBC Two. The channel's longest-running comedy programme is ''[[Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps]]'', which ran for ten years, eight of which were on BBC Three (having previously aired on [[BBC Two]] and [[BBC Choice]]) and continues to be repeated on the channel every week. Some of the most popular comedy programmes on the channel in its original incarnation featured stand-up comedians performing their own take on a subject, usually the news, examples of which include ''[[Russell Howard's Good News]]'' (which later transferred to [[BBC Two]], partly due to its success, and partly to BBC Three's move to online only) and ''[[Lee Nelson's Well Good Show]]''.

===Comedy and drama===
The channel airs various comedies and dramas; one of its most popular sitcoms is ''[[Gavin & Stacey]]'', which first aired in May 2007 and was written by and starred [[James Corden]] and [[Ruth Jones (actress)|Ruth Jones]]. The sitcom was an instant hit, with subsequent series being moved to other BBC channels and the show being granted a Christmas special. Another example is ''[[Being Human (British TV series)|Being Human]]'', a comedy drama in which a ghost, a [[vampire]] and a [[werewolf]] share a flat, which has become a success and heralded several new series. American programming also features, with ''[[American Dad!]]'' and ''[[Family Guy]]'' being the notable examples.

Numerous popular series were either repeated on the channel or have spin-offs created from them. In early 2003, viewers could watch episodes of popular BBC soap opera ''[[EastEnders]]'' on BBC Three before they were broadcast on BBC One. This programming decision coincided with the relaunch of the channel and helped it break the one million viewers milestone for the first time. An episode of ''EastEnders Revealed'', which was commissioned for BBC Three and looking behind the scenes of the programme, attracted 611,000 viewers. In 2005, BBC Three commissioned the documentary series ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'', which was shown immediately after episodes of the new series of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' had been screened on BBC One. This was followed up in July 2005, when it began to screen repeats of both programmes.

In October 2005, it was announced that BBC Three had commissioned a spin-off drama series from ''Doctor Who'', ''[[Torchwood]]'', designed as a post-[[watershed (television)|watershed]] science fiction drama for a more adult audience. ''Torchwood'' launched with 2.4 million viewers in October 2006.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6077078.stm |title=Torchwood scores record audience |work=BBC News |date=23 October 2006 |access-date=3 January 2008 |archive-date=29 November 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061129110026/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6077078.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> ''Torchwood'' is the first science fiction programme ever to have been commissioned by the channel, and its popularity led to it being broadcast on BBC Two for the second series, and on BBC One for subsequent series. In 2010, BBC Three began airing episodes of the fifth series of BBC drama series ''[[Waterloo Road (TV series)|Waterloo Road]]'' after they had aired on BBC One as part of its 'catch-up' programming. From January 2015, BBC Three aired the remaining episodes of ''Waterloo Road'' before being repeated on BBC One later the same day.<ref>{{cite web |last=Kilkelly |first=Daniel |url=https://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s24/waterloo-road/news/a615903/waterloo-road-to-lose-primetime-bbc-one-slot.html |title=Waterloo Road to lose primetime BBC One slot |work=Digital Spy |date=11 December 2014 |access-date=16 December 2014 |archive-date=11 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141211141654/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/s24/waterloo-road/news/a615903/waterloo-road-to-lose-primetime-bbc-one-slot.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Among its original programming, the channel also gave viewers the [[comedy drama]] ''[[Pramface]]'', which was written by Chris Reddy and comprised 19 episodes over three series, broadcast between 2012 and 2014.

===Documentaries===
BBC Three also aired several youth-focused documentaries, including the [[BAFTA]]-winning ''Our War'', ''[[Blood, Sweat and T-shirts]]'' (as well as its subsequent sequels), ''Life & Death Row'' and a season of films focused on mental illness. BBC Three also aired specialist factual documentaries, such as ''How Drugs Work'' and ''How Sex Works.''

[[Stacey Dooley]], since her appearance on ''[[Blood, Sweat and T-shirts]]'' in 2008, presented documentaries including ''Stacey Dooley in the USA'' (2012–14), ''Coming Here Soon'' (2012), ''The Natives: This is our America'' (2017), ''Beaten by My Boyfriend'' (2015), ''Stacey Dooley in Cologne: The Blame Game'' (2016), ''Sex in Strange Places'' (2016), ''Stacey Dooley: Hate and Pride in Orlando'' (2016), ''Stacey Dooley on the Frontline: Girls, Guns and Isis'' (2016), ''Brainwashing Stacey'' (2016), ''Stacey Dooley: Face to Face with Isis'' (2018), and several other titles under the umbrella title ''Stacey Dooley Investigates'' (2009–present).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=stacey+dooley|title=BBC – Search results for stacey dooley|website=www.bbc.co.uk|language=en-GB|access-date=25 April 2018|archive-date=2 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210602213914/https://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=stacey+dooley|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4099152/|title=Stacey Dooley|website=IMDb|access-date=25 April 2018|archive-date=20 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190620081422/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4099152/|url-status=live}}</ref>

BBC Three also commissions a number of one-off documentaries, including ''Growing Up Down's'' (2014), ''[[My Brother the Islamist]]'' (2011), ''Small Teen Big World'' (2010); ''Stormchaser: The Butterfly and the Tornado'' (2012) and ''The Autistic Me'' (2009). Many were commissioned through BBC Three's FRESH scheme which provided an opportunity for 'the next generation of directors' to make their first 60-minute documentaries for the channel.<ref>{{cite web |date=28 February 2013 |title=Fresh documentaries for BBC Three |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/news/fresh-documentaries---new-directors-for-bbc-three-2013.shtml |access-date=12 March 2014 |archive-date=5 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130405034938/https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/news/fresh-documentaries---new-directors-for-bbc-three-2013.shtml |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===News and sport===
In its original incarnation, BBC Three featured ''[[60 Seconds]]'', an hourly summary of news, sport and entertainment headlines. They were presented in a relaxed style in keeping with the rest of the channel. As part of the BBC's discussions with the government regarding the founding of the channel, a longer news programme had been promised to provide a daily section of news and current affairs. ''The News Show'', as it came to be called upon launch, was a ''[[Newsbeat]]''-style fifteen-minute bulletin, later rebranded and reformatted as the more satirical and frivolous half hour ''[[The 7 O'Clock News]]''. However, the BBC discontinued the bulletin in December 2005, following a recommendation made in the 2004 Barwise Report, which found that the channel's target audience sought news from elsewhere.<ref>{{cite news |date=21 October 2005 |title=BBC Three drops nightly news show |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4365628.stm |work=BBC News |access-date=16 November 2013 |archive-date=11 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211021635/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4365628.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> Upon the 2022 relaunch of BBC Three, a new summary of news, sport and entertainment was launched under the name ''[[The Catch Up (BBC)|The Catch Up]]''. This programme is also broadcast on the [[BBC News (British TV channel)|BBC News]] channel.

The channel has also shown sports programming. ''[[Match of the Day|Match of the Day Live]]'' broadcast international football matches featuring [[Wales national football team|Wales]], often when an [[England national football team|England]] match was being shown on BBC One. The channel also showed some matches of [[England women's national football team|England's Women's team]]. The 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008 [[Africa Cup of Nations]] tournaments were shown on the channel, while it is scheduled to air the semi-finals and final of the 2021 edition.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/7096771.stm |title=Africa Cup of Nations on the BBC |date=8 February 2008 |publisher=BBC Sport |access-date=16 November 2013 |archive-date=26 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090526045528/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/7096771.stm |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2022, The channel along with BBC Four was suspended, following the death of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This was done, so that the bandwidth could be used on BBC One and Two for the tribute progammes.

===Online===
While the linear channel was suspended between 2016 and 2022, the BBC Three service was delivered primarily via [[BBC iPlayer|iPlayer]], offering new, original content, as well as full series of previous BBC Three programmes (branded as "[[Box set|Box Sets]]").<ref name="bbc-3launch">{{cite news|title=BBC Three moves online after final night as TV channel|work=BBC News |date=16 February 2016 |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35578867|access-date=16 February 2016}}</ref> New content consisted of full-length programmes, and short-form [[web series]] and features; Kavanagh explained that the new BBC Three would focus primarily on original comedies and documentaries.<ref name="ft-new3"/> All long-form programmes commissioned for BBC Three had to be aired at a later date on [[BBC One]] or [[BBC Two]].<ref name="bbc-3shutdownconditions"/> In February 2019, it was announced that BBC Three programmes would air Mondays to Wednesdays on BBC One following the ''[[BBC News at Ten|News at Ten]]'', beginning on 4 March 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tvbeurope.com/content/bbc-three-programming-returns-to-linear-tv|title=BBC Three programming returns to linear TV|date=2019-02-11|website=TVBEurope|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-10-03}}</ref>

Despite the refocus on comedy, the proportion of the channel's output (in minutes) devoted to comedy actually fell post-switch, from 41% to 33%. By contract, the proportions of the channel's output devoted to factual programming did increase.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Thurman|first=Neil|date=2020|title=When a TV channel reinvents itself online: Post-broadcast consumption and content change at BBC Three|url=https://neilthurman.com/files/downloads/BBC-Three.pdf|website=Neil Thurman}}</ref>
