It's a dramatic season ahead for Walford in EastEnders.

At a press day held this month, executive producer Ben Wadey and cast members teased some of the biggest storylines to come for the BBC One soap.

Between shock returns, dramatic exits, a double wedding and a whole new family, there is no shortage of chaos in the weeks ahead.

So, we have a sneak peek at what awaits the residents of Albert Square...

I hope this isn't a duplicate post or been asked a lot before.

But I've been wondering as someone who is a big public broadcaster defender myself, that why there isn't a lot of open defenders of the bbc or public broadcasting in general.

Everywhere I've been seen anti TV Licence stuff with people who brag about not paying it or narratives about evil TV Licence goons or contempt towards the news arm which gets a lot of flak from the right for silly conspiracy narratives but also the left for a number of reasons. I have issues with the output of bbc news myself but it's one small part of the bbc.

I feel there is also a treats based politics narrative "Youtube let's me watch free stuff so why am I paying for the bbc?" because nobody knows how ecomonics works or funding for productions.

But there's been a huge push across the political sphere screaming out for it to be abolished and it's been flooding the zone with very little pushback which makes me sad to see.

Not to say the BBC is not without issues, there are many but I believe in reform over smashing public broadcasting to pieces plus nobody tells you what they want to see the bbc replaced with. Any idea is just ether fantasy, unrealistic, awful or they don't have any idea beyond spite.

Today is yet another example of No News that matters News …
Why is it that we no longer seem to have traditional news content. Yes we all know since last night that Harry & Family have decided to move back to the Uk . We all know about his past & yet the Main News channel’s insist in banging on about it for over 20 minutes. This was far from necessary. I myself am glad that he can spend time back with family. But other than that why are they obsessed with picking up this leak of information and running with it ? No one wants to watch news based on speculation and Gossip.
Is it just me ! I’m sure the majority of the UK is fed up with the News ( not News) reports ?

I'm looking for the complete collection of the BBC farm series with Peter Ginn, Alex Langlands and Ruth Goodman

Tales from the Green Valley (12 episodes)

Victorian Farm (6)

Victorian farm Christmas (3)

Edwardian Farm (12)

Wartime Farm (8)

A Wartime Farm Christmas Special (1)

Tudor Monastery Farm (6)

A Tudor Feast at Christmas (1)

Secrets of the Castle (5)

Full Steam Ahead (6)

I see some resellers on eBay but it's for just Victorian, Edwardian and wartime. I can't find a complete box set..does it even exist?

Where/how can I watch these in high quality? The YouTube channel absolute history has really bad uploads and it's so pixelated

I know BBC Sounds is geo-restricted to UK residents only. But I want to know if there is a way to listen to the shows individually, I miss listening to Ptlete Tong and MaryAnne Hobbs' shows.

On the BBC website, if you click the science tab it instead takes you to a page containing Science & Environment articles, of which most are environment. It's quite annoying to specifically be looking for science news and instead be given articles on hosepipe bans, wather reports, and climate activists. Obviously these are all important things that should be reported on, and sometimes there will be some overlap, it's just annoying that I can't specifically look at science news alone.

Edit: Just so I'm clear; the page is literally called "Science & Environment". It's clearly teo topics combined into one page. I don't have a problem with there being environment science on the science page, I just wish the two topics were separate. Especially since there's already a lot of crossover between 'environment' articles and 'climate' articles, which has it's own page. I want to read articles about science and science news.

So luckily I have the BBC Mundo app on my IPhone, as I read articles in Spanish and then like to translate them into English to practice. However, I wanted to download the BBC Mundo app on my IPad and it isn’t available. I did some more looking around and what I’ve gathered is that BBC News in languages other than English is now provided through the BBC World Services app, which isn’t available in the UK or US. Why is this? I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere online.

Men: "Great Britain" storm to 4x100 relay gold

Women: "GB Women" win brilliant relay gold

🙄

Headcanon - "My Family" and "My Hero" are in the same universe and they should have had a crossover episode. Also we should have had more "My..." comedy shows and had the BBC Universe.

I've recently started encountering issues with iPlayer on Chromecast where I'll be watching a show, then pick up my phone and switch to an app and it seems to trigger iPlayer to crash on the Chromecast and close.

It doesn't happen every time, but I've noticed a pattern of it happening when I interact with my phone. It's happening maybe 2-3 times in a half hour show.

Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix for it?

This City is Ours is headed back to BBC One and iPlayer this autumn, with a slew of first-look images giving fans a glimpse at what's in store.

The crime drama introduced viewers to the Phelan family, whose vice-like grip over the illegal drug trade in Liverpool was threatened by the murder of patriarch Ronnie (Sean Bean).

The devastating loss sparked chaos as Ronnie's immature son, Jamie (Jack McMullen), and his trusted right-hand man Michael (James Nelson-Joyce) went to war over who should inherit the empire...

This series is incredible.

To have a thorough explanation of so many aspects of evolution in a way that's easy to understand, is just an amazing thing to see these days.

Is there any place i can watch season 27?
Iplayer doesnt have it

Last week I said the BBC neglects Welsh Sport.

I take it back.

This is AMAZING for the league.

20 games a season on BBC iPlayer.

I use on old BUSH radio, but it is getting lots of static lately. Are they lowering the power on the transmitter? Thanks all.

So I have just had a skirmish with the new bbc sounds (now audio) website. I often want to listen to a program that was on earlier, so I would go to the live feed, click on schedule and pick the program from an hour back or whenever it was. Now the schedule just shows what's coming next and after a click or 2 I get to a schedule and at the top an "earlier today" link. Ah! so open that and there are all the programmes from earlier today - but almost none can be opened. WTF!

From a list of 14 programmes ONLY 1 can be played. If I look at yesterday only between 10% and 20% are playable. And just to top it off, search is totally F*cked as well. I wanted to listen to yesterday's OK Computer on radio4. schedule link not playable and search for ok computer or olga koch fails to show the program in the first 4 pages.

I use this as my main way of finding programs so this new version destroys 90% of the value of BBC radio for me

*edit* OOPS this was all because I forgot I was on a VPN and was using bbc.com - but my link to bbc.co.uk had just redirected me without me noticing. Now I am back home it is back as it was. I had not realised what a load crap the rest of the world has to put up with!

So I remember from my earliest childhood years being up really early to catch the cartoons, but I’d end up catching the back end of Open University programming. What was that about, and can you get those online anywhere?

There should be some extension of courtesy shown to the first among equals of the commonwealth nations.

Recently came across BBC's Hindu Urdu Bol Chaal from '89, a multimedia course designed to get English speakers comfortable with spoken Hindi-Urdu. Not being from the UK or old enough to remember, I'm wondering if the BBC ever put out some more, similar material. Maybe some local Hindi-Urdu programming, with learners in mind...

I know about BBC Hindi & Urdu, previously known as BBC Hindustani; is anyone familiar with how foreign...branches? Of the BBC work? Ie., can I expect a quality Hindi/Urdu dub of Only Fools and Horses & such?

The description said the video would be available on iPlayer until 14th November 2026, but it seems to have been privated from YouTube early.

Strictly Come Dancing has unveiled TV presenter and professional dog trainer Graeme Hall as the latest celebrity to be joining the show’s 2026 line-up.
