Media content obtained from a content source ( 11 ) comprises a plurality of content items ( 31 ) which are accessible by an interactive menu structure ( 60, 65 ). A preview presentation mode automatically presents a portion of each of a set of the content items ( 31 ) to the user in a sequence which represents a navigation path through multiple levels of the menu structure. This shows a user a preview of content items available for presentation without requiring the user to manually navigate various branches of the menu structure. The menu structure can be explored automatically, or a script ( 33 ) can specify which items are to be presented. The script ( 33 ) can be supplied by the content source ( 11 ) or can be obtained from a separate source. During the preview presentation mode information about the current item, or the current position within the menu structure, can be displayed.
