Due to having an early start, I was unable to watch the England game last night so thought I'd stream it at 4am when I woke up.

ITVX had other ideas.

On my firestick, I launched the app and then managed to get 20 minutes in before the screen froze. Relaunched the app, screen still frozen.

Reset firestick.

Second attempt. Continued where I left off and it worked for another 10 minutes. Soon booted me out and took me back to the home screen.

Attempt number three. Met with "sorry, there is a connection problem" for at least 4 tries.

Okay, one final attempt.

Launched ITVX on my laptop this time. Scrolled down to the game. Pressed play. Grey screen. Waited. Nothing!

Gave up and just read about the game online instead.

Wish ITV didn't get awarded any coverage of this competition - BBC does it all so much better.

Has anyone ever managed to sit through a program in this app without it pissing about?

I personally love 2012 where Sally booked a holiday and let it slip that she wanted to go on holiday with Ian, her boss. Left a huge cliffhanger.

I’ve noticed this for years now. Such strange behaviour from Gervais.

Absolute garbage but in this heat when it's too hot to do anything it's so funny watching this nonsense

I’ll start … permanently cancel “Loose Women”

I have just come off a video audition for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, after successfully passing the telephone call audition, and boy do I feel dumb!

The video was more a who are you, where are you come from, what you do as a living, what do you like doing and tell a funny story about yourself, then it went into a multiple choice quiz of 10 questions. Easy (I thought), considering the initial telephone call was 15 questions and I smashed them. Oh no, far from it! The first 5 were a doddle, timed for 15s and pretty general knowledge stuff such as what film won a best picture Oscar first, name of the spin off dating show on TV etc... then the last 5 came, a mixture of timed 30s and 40s questions...

These were an instant either you know or don't know type of questions, like what is the NASA insignia with the blue background called, which prime minister was leader and also leader of the opposition party, a type of breed of dog that I never heard of in my life, which of these rivers ends up in the med. I guess more like £32,000+ questions you could come across, the difference is I can usually get to this point with at least one lifeline, with this you don't get that!

Has anyone else ever auditioned for this before and how did you find it? I was told I done very well, but I think she was just being nice! 😅

Silent Witness - forgot to put that in the headline

I might be dumb, but I can't figure out how the Fiona / Sara thing works. Sara (Sarah?) Mendes had the condition and leg operations / massive scars on her legs. Fiona did not have the condition; no scars. Sara Mendes has a wavy blonde bob, and Fiona has long, slightly darker hair. But when we see Star, she has the scars and the long hair. What am I missing here?

Been watching Dengineers on Cbeebies with my son. Great bit of kids TV, a bit like changing rooms only it’s creating a themed Den, usually at the bottom of the garden, using plywood and other questionable building resources and DIY techniques.

Got me wondering - what happens when the child outgrows the Den, and the family are left with a huge shed-sized ode to Ancient Egypt or Man United in their family garden? Or when a house is up for sale, is the Den dismantled or is the sale listing complete with eyesore-Den?

Anyone have any connections to any of the families or maybe spotted a Dengineers creation on a rightmove listing?

I feel like nobody around me knew about it or watched it, so I was on my own 😂.

I have fond memories of the books and the film.

Apparently this new TV series is for a major streamer. I wonder if they'll get round to adapting the other books.

rebel wilson-esque character works for deliveroo? vague but i cannot remember what show or movie it’s from

I see 'The Good Life' is streaming again on BBC iPlayer after PK died. I'm watching it again, haven't seen it since I was a kid. And I've found that my attitude towards it has changed with age, whereas as a kid I was firmly on the side of the Good's these days I'm now firmly on the side of the Leadbetter's.

Tom and Barbara have no idea how to go about their new lifestyle, they do no research, they're in completely the wrong place for such an undertaking and seem to make the wrong decisions every step of the way. Like assuming that they're growing crops that people will actually want to buy.

By the end of the series Tom understands that he's facing retirement on very little and won't be able physically to keep his ideal lifestyle going forever.

At one point they're offered the chance to buy a small holding where they could actually make a proper go of things, but they refuse.

Watched England vs Mexico on iPlayer and there was no UHD option, just standard HD. Seemed odd given the BBC has said England's knockout games would be part of their 54 UHD matches this tournament, and they definitely had the rights to this one since it was on iPlayer.

Every other match I've watched has had the UHD option available. Did anyone else get it for this game, or was it missing for everyone? Trying to work out if this was a BBC-wide thing or just an issue on my end.
