-
Kylie Mulcare (@KylieMulcare) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Elaine is being constantly written as a vile human, in the name of “comedy”. Her delivery and sarcasm worked when she was behind the bar of the Vic. Now she simply comes across like she doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. Writers Room, do better.
-
Mr P. (@BarryJane44) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer awful.
-
Welsh Women's Rugby🏴 (@waleswomenrugby) reported@BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer Please fix the stream 😭
-
Andy (@Andy63473458597) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer What a poor game, Ross County proving they are worst team in the division and Colin Steven proving he is worst ref in Scotland.
-
Terry Finn QPM (@Zibatsu) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer Small Prophets is not a patch on Detectorists. I seem to be in the minority. Really can’t get behind the hype of SP. Detectorists however, pure quality.
-
melaniebelle (@melaniebelle808) reported@bbceastenders @BBC @BBCiPlayer Denzel brought bad medicine into the house. Now Yolande must find an Obeah man to fix this. And she won't find one in yellow pages.
-
jeno (@JAC2725) reported@BBCiPlayer deciding to show 2/3 of an ice hockey game and show the last third a hour after it’s played. AWFUL BROADCASTING.

konatona (@konatona1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer arsenal have problem
-
Gee_McK (@Gee_McK) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Stop mucking about with your website! Looks awful, why the white background????
-
Alastair Raymond (@RaymondAlastair) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Loved this programme when it first started I was invited but had commitments,Standard of contestants has bottomed out-all terrible
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Phil took a massive risk in calling in a favour for Mark which landed Mark in debt in the first place so I can't see Phil helping Mark again especially when he's got Lexi and Nigel to think about. Don't think Sharon would want to help Mark either if she knew.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Priya is a big part of his problems because she is enabling him, always playing down his bad behaviour etc. as just now. Neither of them seem to get that actions have consequences.
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedApproaching 24 hours outage, now, @BBCiPlayer , with a @SamsungUK TV that won't load beyond the BBC menu system. This is rendering the BBC licence fee we pay subject to challenge on a non delivery of service basis. It seems Samsung are pivoting to a pay for upgrade model? 🤮.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Lauren and Penny scenes have been great recently. I hope Lauren does end up buying the Car Lot. Jay should've never have sold it in the first place and that's something he would never do if he was still here. Can't wait for Lauren & Priya to work together. #EastEnders

Claire Duffett (@duffett_claire) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Was going to say they spelt it phonetically but that doesn’t work either
-
𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That Josh is just terrible, cant act and I just can't stand him.
-
thetodd (@thetoddy111) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer As if ANY of them are any better As if we coukd have faith in them Theyre ALL awful
-
Benny H (@BennyH391512) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny is terrible 🤢 hurry up and axe him.
-
iggyboy63 (@DavidSh99798518) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Thought it terrible tbh..safe,middle class viewing
-
Will (@thenightswstch) reported@StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer Dermot just summed up the problem quite clearly there without even realising what he just done.
-
Adam (@FIWCHAMP09) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ravi and Mark could work together to take them down, Why does Mark want to be involved in dealing? Need to meet their boss soon Vincent or Fatboy
-
Jo (@cfs_jo) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Worst episode in a long time.
-
lisa 🥀 • ben mitchell loml (@benapologist) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer callum and johnny are abysmal together and this tim storyline which deals with a serious issue deserved actual build-up and care. whoever came up with this storyline needs to be fired asap
-
crazy cat lady (@sutty56) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s the worst cast member in years , get her off the programme . Awful
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders
-
Kim Frinton (@drowsyfire) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Oh lord, help us. Smug, sanctimonious wokery incoming.
-

-
Bigwows 💚🤍💜 ✖️✖️🏴 (@bigwows) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.
