Why can I only fast forward through some programmes in 5 or 15 minute chunks?

Unfortunately, due to copyright restrictions and the BBC’s agreement with the music industry, is it only possible to fast forward through music-based programmes in chunks of five or fifteen minutes.

For the same reason, we are unable to allow users to rewind shows which contain music.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

If this does not answer your question sufficiently you may find more help on the pages linked to from the right hand side.
