@michaelglasper A couple of days ago after watching God's Of Snooker on iPlayer. Steve Davis was the only one who didn't need to be double tracked in order to sound slightly less awful, apparently.

@BBCiPlayer - does no one listen to the output of GBM on the iPlayer? The intro music is completely drowning out Andi’s briefing… ffs are the job experience kids doing the quality control??

@AdrianCroydon @breadbin68 @David__Osland There was this thing called the financial crash in 2008. There's a really good programme about it on iPlayer right now

@livedarts @BULLYBULLY170 When can we see these matches? I saw an error message on iplayer and I don’t even know if it’s meant to be on now or not. I think this may be the one and only seniors tournament, amateurish I’m afraid.

@JackieSharpe1 Yes over a year ago. We only watch programmes on catchup services excluding iPlayer. It is much better watching our choice of quality programmes at times which suit us. I don’t miss being brainwashed by the gutter media. Try it for a month.

Fell asleep watching iplayer last night and woke up to Alan Sugar staring me directly in the face this morning. Worst ad for a TV show i've ever seen.

@TinypootIta Our issue is the access to WiFi and bbc iplayer unfortunately and the two hour drive. We have booked to stay in Enniskillen for 3 nights in July to see if we can push him a little further to Donegal on a day trip. It will depend if that works or not. This is the first year 1/

@SeniorsDarts Missed the whole lot due to technical problems with BBC iPlayer today, get a grip and sort it out, it's ruining the competition.

@AmazonHelp @dstockton85 It would really help viewers if Amazon Prime provided information on how long a series would be freely available for - BBC iPlayer does this already - very frustrated because both Mindy and Parks & Recreations have gone this week without notice.

@BBCiPlayer watching world senior darts on iPlayer and the quality is shockingly bad. Keeps cutting out and message says temporary fault. Even when it is on the sound quality is ridiculous
