No doubt that's a bug though rather than something they've purposefully done.
Yes, it’s still quite useful if you start watching something a few minutes late and then you can basically go from part 1 to part 2.
Also the feature sometimes seems available on programmes and other times not via ITV X on Apple TV.
I notice Goodnight Sweetheart has appeared on the standalone BritBox service and of course ITV X but can be watched on the free version of ITV X with ads. I think they’ve shown it on ITV 3 in the past so possible they’ve got those rights again, or it may mean all the new ‘classic shows’ acquisitions will just work on the same basis as normal ITV X.
