-
Ciaran Carson (@carsey10) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer Fs there are two small housing estates near me that are built for people with disabilities so what would be the problem if the majority of cars were mobility in some streets
-
Sara Foster (@musomusings) reported@EnarialP @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer They do need to work on their algorithms though - if I’m about to watch a film about Emily Brontë, do I really want to see a trailer for FA Cup coverage?
-
Jonathan TUTOR (@therealslimsta) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer I would’ve liked the same characters from Detectorists but set in a different historical period like Blackadder. I’d like to see Small Prophets series two. Maybe Clia had to go work for Santa as she disappeared on Christmas Eve.
-
Jill T - Food safety person and G/F foodie (@jill_jtc) reportedWhy has @BBCiPlayer gone from being the best to worst platform for tv?!! Your programmes & indexing & available prog’s are out of date & rubbish!! @TheRepairShop new series live on tv but you can’t watch on iPlayer - that’s just one example. Come on, where’s my licence fee going?
-
@TheMediaAvenger (@ThomasF24943789) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The worst thing they can do is serve RAW CHICKEN
-
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
-
Pól Míchéal O'Slatraigh (@PSlatraigh) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I predict both will vomit when they realise what they've done, but Patrick did say to Oscar in the flashforward that he was with a Truman now, so unless he and Jasmine somehow manage to reconcile, maybe this pair manages to work it out?
-
Colin Brown (@Colinbr87729419) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer The BBC has been terrible in recent months, it shares opinions and rumors rather than the facts, very disappointed.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Either way this is such a terrible twist for all involved and I wish that Penny/Vinny Gina/Harry can be happy without this totally unnecessary twist. This is going to create so much unwanted drama and tension for everyone involved.
-
Jonny Payne (@jonnypayne23) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer You can’t be intimidated by a flag. You can choose to be offended but that applies to anything. I could choose to be offended by terrible architecture. Doesn’t make it illegal and should be bulldozed
-
Villanmike (@villanmike73) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems! Moan about anything because you believe the BBC is an easy target. Honestly
-
Westie (@Wee_Westie29) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Alfie leaving to visit Spencer. Hopefully he brings him back with him. As for Jake, he can’t keep hiding what he did to Danny forever. Also it looks like Jake maybe getting cold feet about Chrissie. But he wants to fix things #Eastenders
-
Welsh Women's Rugby🏴 (@waleswomenrugby) reported@BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer Please fix the stream 😭
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny’s actor is awful.
-
Ó Murchadha (@OMurchadha61) reported@Phantomthe55th @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer I don't wish to judge but, if you are a baptised Protestant who believes there are two Gods, you could be in serious trouble on judgement day. You are guilty of the serious sin of heresy. God bless.
-
Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Loads??? No it's about 10 people. Distraction bs as usual. This issue is simply not affecting the majority of us. Your childish antics and your same callers day in day out! Norman & Brian 🙄 impossible to listen to for anyone with a bit of common sense
-
Mik Lote (@Mc_Lote) reported@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Pavement parking is an issue. Local government needs to review pavements not just concentrate on fining motorists who are trying to keep carriageways clear. Pavements vary in width across all authorities without rhyme or reason. A metre could be taken off many pavements.
-
ScottieTinkerbell (@sc_tinkerbell) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer My thought wow nobody was actually hurt in that. Minor injuries only. But nobody really trapped, no broken bones. Everyone just walked out. Ravi the acting is fantastic!
-
𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is an awful character already! Can't stand him
-
George Spence (@georgespence1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer That screeching woman commentator on Arsenal game would do your ears in. Had to turn the sound off. Terrible from @BBCSport women are not compatible with the men's game.
-
Danny Tarr (@DannyTarr) reported@StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer Buskers don’t bother me as some of them are very good to listen too. It’s the preachers I have a problem with. It has got way out of hand and I agree something needs to be done. Cant turn a corner without someone shouting about Jesus down a mic or forcing leaflets in your hand.
-
SnoopDoge (@jackdoor2681151) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Who gives a fig, why is the final episode of the welsh open missing? Seriously, please fix this!
-
Nigel Charles (@NTilley21717) reported@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I go to work
-
donna rawlinson (@jamieshawn1623) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer link dont work goes to facebook
-
Booba (@dolfingray) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer If they are entitled to them then what’s the issue? You know you are punching down here Stephen? People with disabilities and conditions having to justify themselves to you and your sensationalist reporting. Poor form.
-
Tom Parker (@oldschool454) reported@SamsungUK Please can you tell my why I keep getting error code 02100 when trying to play @BBCiPlayer on my Samsung TV? I have googled problem and done every suggested fix with no success. Please help!!

LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Who cares. Awful tedious storyline
