How do I use Favourites?

Now you can easily group all your favourite programmes in one place, the Favourites module which you can see at the top of the BBC iPlayer screen, wherever you are on the site.

 To add a programme, simply click on the star icon.

It will turn pink so that you know it has worked, and you can see the programme added to your favourites.

Once you have added a programme, all new episodes in the series will automatically be added to your favourites when they become available.

The newest programmes are shown first when you access Favourites and you can also see at a glance which programmes are about to expire.

manage favourites 1

Even if you have a lot of programmes saved to favourites you can see them easily in the list view, and it’s easy to delete programmes through the manage button. However, you can’t just delete one episode in a series – it will delete all episodes.
