After nearly 39 years of marriage I still love my wife to bits and we have been through the normal ups and downs of married life.

However there is now a technical hitch in our relationship, “paused TV”.

Although I am by no means a TV addict there are certain programmes that get my attention and Silent Witness was a recent one.

But my enjoyment was marred by the ability to freeze the TV, resulting in every time the phone rang, putting the kettle on, toilet breaks and various other tasks an hour’s programme took three hours over two nights to watch.

Apart from getting another TV and sitting alone in another room I am at a loss to know what the answer is.
