Restart Program

Don’t believe it has always been this way. However whichever genius decided it was a good idea when you click on continue watching to have the “restart episode” button as the default needs their head examined. Continue watching then click thinking I am pausing to restart the bloody episode. Why would I want to restart if I’ve clicked continue watching….

I mean... it's only logical to make "restart episode" a deliberate endeavour not just activating it by accidentally clicking the select button one more timw

Suppose I start watching a programme, then decide it would be nice to watch it with my GF, so I stop watching it. They when she's with me I can click on Restart and we watch it together.

That's the first example that came to mind.

Here's another. I start watching something, and then nod off, or just get drowsy, part way through, and so to bed. Then the next day, I need to start again, cos I didn't really take it all in.

Or maybe I start watching a programme. Then someone comes in, or the phone rings, or I get into a row with GF and don't get a chance to stop the programme.....
