Parsleywin searching on BBC IPlayer is just a matter of practice. You can’t lose anything when sifting through so just go for it. Here are a few tips. There is a bar at the top that says in alphabetical order I think, words like Documentaries, Drama, News etc, tap on the one you want and wait for that topic to download. There is usually a vertical column of most popular for that subject, so I often look through that.
If you have seen in the newspapers a programme you want on catch up just look for the magnifying glass symbol at the top right hand side and click on there and type in the name.
I am just about to start a thread for recommended TV, radio, films etc where we can all put our suggestions. This might be a good way for us all to find a wider variety of good watching and listening.
Hope to see you there.
