  @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s a narcissist boot. She’s played all her cult for fools for years. Nicola Sturgeon only cares about Nicola Sturgeon. She loved living the high life and now it’s came crashing down. Crocodile tears won’t work anymore.

  Wandered into @BBCiPlayer and comedy series Ann Droid. Not said this for an awful long time about a new sitcom...I actually rather liked it. A premise that becomes more plausible every year and Sue Johnson, not a comedienne, an actress who does great comedy. I'll stick with it.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ben Wadey has ruined this show, Michelle Ryan has been treated appallingly 🤬 Nobody can blame her for quitting, her stories and scripts are terrible. To axe the character permanently is just pure nasty and spiteful. Axe Wadey NOW.. the fans are angry 😤

  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Please can you do something about the Wimbledon coverage in the late evening. It's been the same every day around 9pm...the coverage disappears and we have to scramble around iPlayer trying to locate the match...tonight it's the turn of Dimitrov. Help!!

  The worst thing about watching the World Cup on catch-up is how long it takes them to upload the matches @ITVX @BBCiPlayer

  @RealDMitchell @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Enjoying it very much, although the terrible blurring of either side of the screen was immensely distracting from your performances and the story.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Another ludicrous change of character, from really nasty piece of work to sheepish wimp? Wouldn't happen. And next week, we're supposed to believe that a few school kids throwing beer over him and taking photos is worse for him that juvenile detention was.

  @thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's not enough to "work on" a good death for all. Delivery is already long overdue. If the government is not committing to funding it now, it isn't going to be provided for those who need it now or 5 years hence or even 10 years hence.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I think they could have made more of how Kathy was pushing him to have one drink. I think a lot of people can relate to being pressured to just have ‘one’. Ultimately is Ian’s choice of course but peer pressure doesn’t help.

  @BBCiPlayer @BBC Can you watch World Cup football in UHD on the iPlayer using fire tv. It works via the iPlayer app on my Samsung TV but not my 4K Fire TV device? Is it broken? A lot of people are saying the same in forums

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer What is that awful outfit Denise is wearing, those trousers 😱 Silly Lauren. I don’t know why George is in a huff about the money, he deserves to have after all that **** with Eddie & yes what kind of business man is he not checking his restaurant’ account???

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Well at least this storyline was consistent, consistently terrible, EE has had some bad storylines over the years but this one could be top of the pile, whoever wrote this should 1st in line at the job centre tomorrow morning.

  @danny_robins @BBCiPlayer I just finished it and it was a fascinating watch. But I can't help thinking that even as a 12 year old, Janet may have had some knowledge of The Exorcist, which came out in '73, I think, and may have been acting out with that in mind. Know it doesn't explain everything.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer So now Denise has told Jack quickly but there's still a problem of course. I expect she won't want chemo treatment but will go for it eventually.

  The @BBCiPlayer does my nut in, why is it so slow and dimwhitted. Just work for once. Every time I try to use it with my mum at the care home, sod all for 30 mins. @ITVX works like a dream.
