It was already posted about on the What's on board but doesn't state what TV platform they were watching on

What TV platform were you watching on- Glass, Stream Sky+ or Sky Q? There is one other report of this on the Stream board.

I just checked my recording from last night and can see the problem: after each ad break it starts again. What a strange thing to happen!

The download version of S25E16 is fine.

It was a problem with Channel 5's broadcast of the programme and affected all platforms; Freeview, Sky, Virgin, etc

I'm surprised there haven't been more posts in that case.
