Little Nemo Aug 2023 7:57pm, 26 Aug 2023 13,750 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo There's a search icon on the menu on the left-hand side of the iPlayer home screen, do you see that when you go in? I use my Now TV stick to get to it so I have to use the arrow keys on the remote for that to navigate my way round.

(Their opposition were equally poor I thought. Mistake 1 was asking for "next" on the sequences round when all three options were displayed, and mistake 2 was clicking the same combination of 4 items about 8 times when going through the superheroes!)
