Is there any way to feedback to the wonderful team at @BBCiPlayer to fix the default of when you click on an episode in a series and go to play it, the rest of the series list defaults back to the first series. Trying to rewatch New Tricks and always pushed back to S1 😭😭

Can’t watch England vs Wales on @ITVX because it’s useless and won’t let me watch live TV (I mean, seriously??) - so having to watch in Welsh on @BBCiPlayer because, well, it actually works. Serious question - why can’t @ITVX just work properly? It’s embarrassing.

@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds Why don’t you fix the sound delay? Impossible to watch this amateurish coverage.

@MorganMF9867 @BBCiPlayer It was terrible. We were supposed to be at the GP but to be in Spain when the cleanup was happening was heartbreaking 💔

@BraxM @BBCiPlayer @RadioTimes Probably my first memory of watching TV, although I liked The Woodentops more, thought they were more real, like they were just different versions of real grown up people, and thought I would grow and go and work on their farm.

@AthleticsWeekly @BBCiPlayer Athletics commentary is good, but there are problems with the coverage. It is sometimes impossible to find on the red button. And last week the first 20 minutes was missing.
