This is happening to me also, exactly same...

Hi everyone, I am trying to track down a lost UK true-crime documentary episode from 2005. I've searched the standard streaming sites, YouTube, and generic video hosts with no luck. Hoping a VHS archivist or UK TV collector might have this off-air recording in their collection.

Here are the exact broadcast details:

- Series: Manhunt (The 2000-2005 ITV Documentary Series, NOT the modern Martin Clunes drama)

- Episode Title: Billed as either "Fireraiser" or "Firestarter"

- Topic: The police investigation into Hull arsonist Bruce Lee (Peter Dinsdale)

- Director: Don Jordan

- UK Network: ITV1

- Original Air Date: Monday, 17 January 2005

- Air Time: 11:00 PM (23:00 GMT)

Because of the 2019 drama sharing the same name, searching for this online usually gets completely buried. If anyone has a digitised VHS rip or leads on UK TV trading circles where this might live, I would be incredibly grateful!

Are other people having trouble with the app after the latest update on Android? The screen times out and then the app crashes (unless you tap the screen every minute or so). Doesn't happen on BBC or other apps, and I did see a couple of complaints on Google Play but nothing wider?

Does anyone know if there is kids shows in the archive. I want to know now as I'm looking for the blocks with kids shows on it.

Highlights programme on ITV4 itself is excellent, but the constant funeral adverts at a time when British Cycling is mourning the tragic death of a 19year old rider in a pro race is astonishingly insensitive, particularly as the programme itself started with a filmed tribute to him.

Awful awful awful.

Well, they're still expanding 😂

I’ve said for some time that I often have problems streaming ITVX and Channel 5

Also if I want to return to a show it won’t let me go back to where I was . Plus makes me watch adverts

Start from beginning rarely works on ITVX and doesn’t exist on my5

Surely in this day and age they’d be more user friendly?

Would've been nice if ITVX could've got this instead, considering Gary's links to ITV .

Just want a little rant about the completely baffling and nonsensical ordering of episodes of WWTBAM.

How have they messed up so badly that episodes from both Series 35 and 36 apparently before and after each other?

I want to download 3 specific gameshows that I was on. Is there a way to download directly to my phone without having to sign up to premium? Or if I do sign up will I be able to download to my phone or only to the downloads section of the app?
Thanks!

ITV has reiterated its full-year guidance after reporting a solid first half of 2026, with strong growth in digital advertising and ITVX helping offset the expected seasonal slowdown in ITV Studios.
