@TinypootIta Our issue is the access to WiFi and bbc iplayer unfortunately and the two hour drive. We have booked to stay in Enniskillen for 3 nights in July to see if we can push him a little further to Donegal on a day trip. It will depend if that works or not. This is the first year 1/

I didn't have any issues with BBC3 coming back, but I'm not seeing the point if the shows it's putting out are already on iPlayer in their entirety.

@rhipratchett just caught the watch on bbc3 via the iplayer. I know I'm coming in late here, but seriously. What have they done with the city watch? I just can't get my head around the changes they've made to Terry's work.

@BBCiPlayer - does no one listen to the output of GBM on the iPlayer? The intro music is completely drowning out Andi’s briefing… ffs are the job experience kids doing the quality control??

@AmazonHelp @dstockton85 It would really help viewers if Amazon Prime provided information on how long a series would be freely available for - BBC iPlayer does this already - very frustrated because both Mindy and Parks & Recreations have gone this week without notice.

@Lou__ize @andisn16 Us, try on iplayer - it might well be better there as we think it was a technical issue. Very sorry

@michaelglasper A couple of days ago after watching God's Of Snooker on iPlayer. Steve Davis was the only one who didn't need to be double tracked in order to sound slightly less awful, apparently.

They should have just added a live scheduled broadcast to #BBCThree's page on iPlayer. Bringing it back as a main channel in 2022 doesn't work.

@JackieSharpe1 Yes over a year ago. We only watch programmes on catchup services excluding iPlayer. It is much better watching our choice of quality programmes at times which suit us. I don’t miss being brainwashed by the gutter media. Try it for a month.
