Apparently the crew were playing silly buggers[^] shortly before the ship got stuck, although it doesn't seem to have been a contributing factor.

Additionally, I doubt this is the first time a ship has done that while waiting.

I guess it's the maritime equivalent of deleting a database in production.

So I have BritBox for streaming (via RoKu). I discovered that there seemed to be no way to remove a show that one no longer wishes to watch from the "Continue Watching" list. A horizontal list that is at the top of all significant sets of selectors. Not via Roku. I went online to my account to try there - nope. So I contacted customer support and here's what they replied:
Quote: We did previously offer the option to delete items off of your continue watching list by clicking the X on the bottom right hand corner of the show, although I did receive word from our tech team that the option has been taken down until further notice to make background improvements, I do apologize.
We do hope to implement the feature back into our service in the future but are unsure of a timeframe for this. While it is not a permanent solution we do recommend accessing shows and movies through your watchlist to better manage what has been watched or what you would like to keep/delete. When accessing shows through the watchlist, any shows you have watched will have a line on the bottom to help determine where you are at in a series.
- First, of course, there's modifications made in the live production version of software.
- Secondly, there's apparently no horizon whatsoever as to if and when it will be restored.
- Third, there solution does nothing to address the problem whatsoever - as the "watchlist" will put anything one watches irrevocably on the 'continue watching' list. If you go to a new episode it will update that but it will remain - the list just keeps on growing.
- This cavalier neglect of the user is the same as I experienced decades ago where the O/S and software for an HP-FTIR Spectrometer was made in UK. Version 7 still with the same bugs*
- If one browsed a full list of choices (2D matrix) and request to see more info on one, when one goes back they end up at the top of a very long list and must find their place, again
The tradition of badly written software (there's much more wrong with it) with no real thought to debugging lives on!
Rue Britannia!

I will be grateful all day, to such powers that be, that the video didn't start automatically.

A complete disregard for what the customer wants/needs is traditional here in the UK. Closely followed by no interest, whatsoever, in listening to customers when they suggest that it doesn't work.
At least BritBox didn't waste £30+ billion, (like Track & Trace), providing a useless service! Or £80+ billion, (like HS2) carving through the countryside for something that is going to bring zero benefits.
I guess we are used to the bar being set pretty low here!

Well, having been in the UK and seeing what passes for the indigenous repast, yeah - that bar's set pretty low.

Clearly you have been brought up on McCraponalds and have no idea of the taste of real food unless it is spiced to oblivion and fried until "extra crispy". Don't get me started on American Cheese...

Like the rest of your anti-US BS:* you bitch about fried? ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing Fish'n'Chips, to start.
The other crap I observered, first person, is something that I'd not consider KSS.

I applaud the dad on raising a TRUE Sociopath.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

OK - suppose that kid were your cat.
Furthermore, suppose that was you on the track.
Which way would the cat . . . umm. urrr. oh.
