How do I add programmes?

Short on time but seen something you want to watch? Or found a programme you love and want to access easily? Just add it to your Watchlist!

Once added, you’ll be able to access the programme on other devices you’re signed in on. Programmes will stay in your Watchlist for as long as they’re available to watch on Â鶹ԼÅÄ iPlayer (unless you remove them yourself). All future episodes of the programme you’ve added will appear in your Watchlist when they’re available.
