When you get to the end of an episode, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iPlayer will automatically play the next episode. We call this Autoplay. You’ll see a 15 second timer that appears when the credits roll.
If you get to the end of a series, we’ll sometimes autoplay a programme we think you’ll like based on our recommendation system.
How do I stop the next episode from autoplaying?
- Computer browser: Click on the cancel button
- Mobile/tablet app: Tap on the 'Continue Watching' button when it appears.
- Connected TV: Press any key on your remote that can control Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iPlayer (e.g. left/right etc) except the Select/OK button
Can I switch autoplay off?
Yes, you can. The way to switch it off depends on which device you're using.

On Connected TV: Go to Settings > Autoplay and choose your preferred autoplay options
Why doesn't Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ iPlayer remember my autoplay settings?
