I know how to work it dummy, its just to big, more difficult to use, and as you have demonstrated very well above and in direct reply to my point there is no nice simple list of programmes, there are big sodding pictures. Get it?

No because I know of at least one person who doesn't actively hate the iplayer redesign.

Listen sonney (that is technically possible btw as I am 40, I want a card next Sunday, dont forget and say hello to your mum for me ;)) the poster above has it correct. (im also a very experienced systems analyst btw)

You dont fix what isnt broken unless it would be more hassle to not re-develop. You dont make something harder for the user to use to make it more pretty.

My guess is as a poster on the previous page said someone decided 'we gotta make this smartphone and android usable!' which is silly because it already was and how many fuckers watch iPlayer on those little devices anyway. Vast majority use it on their home computers.

Quite sad to hear a paddy power ad has been deemed "offensive" just because of a little bit of harmless banter :(

They have been in quite good form lately though and im sure there will be some good ads on from them during the world cup :3:

That's bet365

BBC iPlayer suffers from same issue a lot of the UI on bbc.co.uk suffers from - I mouseover a link to click it but isntead it loving slides up and I end up clicking on something random and have to go back.

Quite gutted -- I'd just gone downstairs to announce I'd managed to work Vyvian-from-the-Young-Ones reference into a completely unrelated article when my husband said, 'Oh dear,' and showed me the BBC front page.

I'd just dug my Young Ones dvds out of storage last night, as well, for our next dvd binge. :smith:

In addition to the stuff that's been mentioned, I also liked him as Herod in a recent(ish) production of Jesus Christ Superstar. He can't sing, so he does the Rex Harrison song-patter:

I'd always hoped that Rik and Aid would sort out their differences and give us one last (good) series of Bottom as old geezers. Now there will be no more crude knob gags between them :flaccid:


^^Don't go past the 3rd live show. Or watch the film. For god's sake, don't watch the film^^

It's funny reading the Obits and they all mention that bottom was critically panned.

Proof, if ever there was, that critics are loving arseholes.

So you are getting angry at what you assume people in a thread would think? Sounds reasonable.
