how much will the BBC pay me to use their app? because the fake slop content and drivel they pump is worth this amount of engagement only 😂

Loved watching Last Christmas unwrapped. It's a beautifully sad Christmas song but leaves you in awe of the musical genius that was George Michael and Wham. So lovely to see Andrew Ridgely, Pepsi and Shirley especially honouring his memory at the time of year that he loved the most. God bless him and may he rest in peace. George Michael gone but never will be forgotten and am sure that his musical legacy will live on for many decades to come. ❤️🎄🎅🥳🎊🎉

Good but it constantly asks me if I have a TV license. I do and it won't remember that I do

doesn't work with a VPN running. data thievery, like most British Stuff. had to give 1 star to leave comment

Terrestrial TV counted 15 minutes of advertising then filming perhaps a squirrel. Lost in self indulgence. probably worth the licence fee

Awful, terrible for live sports. No chance to get back to what you were watching once you press back or pause
