-
Alex Barrett ☘️🇮🇪 (@albarr1978) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The storylines are awful right now and the so called acting is even worse
-
The View From Belfast ⚖️ (@CallumTheReds) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer If either a union flag or a tricolour flag is flying in a community that supports those flags - why is that a problem?
-
Nigel Charles (@NTilley21717) reported@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I go to work
-
Tosh (@Thenaish1) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer Can someone help Helen understand the difference between adverts and trailers. Cheers. Please donate to help others on the internet who cant read or think. 🙏
-
Tracey (@April_1970s) reported@Andy___Douglas @vicderbyshire @BBCiPlayer If you had bothered to read her testimony you’d know that she couldn’t explain why she had gynaecological problems which she sought help for. What is your point ? She knew, she lied ? Why is it men like yourself need the victim to explain themselves? Andy Douglas, I pity you.

Jamie_d (@jamied28) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer If the fans didn’t enter the pitch there’s no trouble simple as that. As usual one team is playing the victim card
-
Drunken Groundhopper (@DGroundhopper) reported@liam_barnett @BBCiPlayer Yeh im with you on this, cut the fighting out and we have a safe environment, but unfortunately people see the ultra culture as the problem, I know lots of folk that hate what they do, like I say, cut the trouble out and it'll ve fantastic
-
Dcale (@dcale80) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Ben Mitchell bashing is in hyper drive. I guess this is petty retaliation for Max Bowden not wanting to return to this **** show. I'm so glad the rating r plummeting every day. Ben Wadey is the worst thing to happen to this show.
-
Livefromwestbelfast (@Inwestbelfast) reported@StephenNolan @Frankshivers @BBCiPlayer Talking about the poor and disabled who have to beg and lower themselves to justify their need for help. Years of austerity and new stricter benefits to control fraud, and you want more. End tax avoidance and loop holes with a fair footing for everybody. Flat rate for all.
-
s h a b s 🌷 🦚 (@sukeve_xo) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sukeve clip during ******* visibility week? IKTR!!! But come on now guys, we've done the "Suki doesn't communicate when she's stressed and trying to make everyone's problems go away" before and she learned from it, if we're not making a point of showing her growth and how she's adapted for the better on this adoption journey and it's just revisiting old habits with no reasoning or closure, it's giving inconsistent.
-
Bigwows 💚🤍💜 ✖️✖️🏴 (@bigwows) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.
-
LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Surprised there's no STD problems in EE. So much bed hopping!
-
Kev Wrigley (@KevWrigley) reported@Woodarmyfc @I_amMukhtar @BBCiPlayer no mate, you're just being ridiculous. Not every person at the BBC is a scumbag **** apologist. But in taking that myopic attitude you've ended up making assumptions using the worst example, one of the key people in Savilles downfall. Stop being weird

melonax9 (@melonax9) reported@tlukethompson @BBCiPlayer ******* FINALLY A BETTER QUALITY !!!!
-
𝗣 𝗦 (@Reciprocity5904) reported@StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer If I went into my local pub... If I went into my local shop... Who are the problem here?
-
Will (@thenightswstch) reported@StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer Dermot just summed up the problem quite clearly there without even realising what he just done.
-
Arty Bow (@arty_bow) reported@BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer …then we get 10 minutes of him lecturing us like we’re teenagers because we can’t work it out for ourselves. BBC documentaries used to be superb. Even the average ones were twice as good as this.
-
@ultracrepidity (@ultra_crepidity) reported@BBCSport @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Amazing footballer, but disastrous manager and terrible pundit. Why or why is the BBC flogging this dead horse?
-
Caner 🇬🇧 (@canerazz) reported@adamhale_ @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer Luckily I don't have to deal with this kinda problems when using xevatv
-
Anthony Parry (@AnthonyParryUK) reportedSo @Google @BBCiPlayer please can you fix iPlayer on Google TV as it doesn't show anything in the continue watching rail of the home screen.. thanks 👍
-
Sir Brian of Ipswich (@brianofipswich) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Just finished. Not seeing the hype. Michael is throughly unlikable. No pride in his home, appearance or employment. Nihilistic and a compulsive liar. Emotionally stunted and a taker. He treats anyone that requires something of him with distain. Awful man.
-
Zippy (@zippyyu) reported@StephenNolan @BBCNolan @BBCiPlayer Our airport has no problem worshipping one
-
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.
-
Easphc (@Eaaphc2023) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer I call mornings the Peugeot school run as all the new Peugeots outside the school every morn. I know the drivers and they don’t work. *** all wrong of them
-
Roy Thornton (@RThorn1) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Pity this is going. The people on just have not been the quality needed to watch. Alex is ok but some of the others have been poor.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Nicola took a massive risk going behind George's back like that to see Eddie when if he wants to see him that's her decision. As parents to Ivy - George and Nicola have built that strong level of trust and now it's broken between them. #EastEnders (1/2)
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I'll be curious to discover how Suki and Vinny will react when they discover Ravi's attack against Nugget. Would Suki keep her promise to Priya and get Ravi the help he needs? She'll feel guilty for throwing him out but doesn't want to jepodise the adoption.
-
T (@T1999Mc) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer As a rule of thumb it’s probably best to not help the minister make his own point.
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer No one likes Johnny and the actor is terrible. Axe him now.

Miss B (@jbjayb) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Fiona Bruce is an awful presenter
