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?

Gilly B (@GillyB9) reported@ls_1983 @BBCiPlayer I was flicking between football and Olympics last night. The commentary on tnt was awful.

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

Colleen Savannah (@colleensvannah) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer The UK is in trouble because people like you

Older&Weirder - Here We Go Again 💙 (@older_n_weirder) reported@BBCiPlayer never saw 2012 and I really missed out didn’t I? Thanks for putting it on along with W1A before 2026. Quality.

Ian Smedley (@smeg9) reportedAlways know when @BBCNews is about to switch to local news even on @BBCiPlayer because the quality absolutely tanks. I understood why it might on satellite, but on iPlayer??

Wheeled Warrior (@WarriorWheeled) reported@PaulaRossi47 @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer I will trade with you Paula…. You can take my 24/7 pain, my inability to walk, my fatigue and my other issues all whilst working about 50 hours a week and living on about 3hrs sleep a night. Be no problem for you will it??

actionslaxx (@actionslaxx) reported@Gordon_998877 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer yep, having to login every time you switch back to the iPlayer (even if you've just got one profile) is a PITA - other streaming services don't make you do this
-
M (@MustBeMam) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Other parties should invite this woman to tell them what they can do to help. SNP need to be stopped. They are ruining our schools.
-
Paul Collins (@PaulCol01201464) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Nandy tries in vain to defend the indefensible as Labour kills hospitality. Employers' national insurance rises hit pay and jobs. The government offers no help to increase wages. Yet Reeves says no to levelling capital gains tax with income tax and launching a wealth levy.

LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Surprised there's no STD problems in EE. So much bed hopping!
-
Jay (@PootJM) reported@ekaurpokhran @RoyalFamily @BBCiPlayer Low tier bait. You have many worse problems. At least sort the litter out. Anyway, I'm not spending my Friday evening arguing with someone in India, have a good day. HBD to Sir David.

doffcocker (@doffcocker) reported@BBCArchive @BBCiPlayer the phrase “eclectic collection” is doing a lot of work in that sentence and i need to know more

Martyep74 (@martyep74) reported@StephenNolan @nipsa @BBCiPlayer P/2 👉 people getting into debt because of errors, cases of people having to pay back housing benefit because mysteriously the HB money disappeared during the migration, so SOMEONE or some landlord/gvrmt body has got extra money by forcing the Tennant to pay instead of

sæmunder99 (@SaeMunder99) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Can I just say your commentators are ******* awful to listen to. So poor and biased
-
Caner 🇬🇧 (@canerazz) reported@adamhale_ @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer Luckily I don't have to deal with this kinda problems when using xevatv

Claire Duffett (@duffett_claire) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Was going to say they spelt it phonetically but that doesn’t work either
-
Paula m (@PaulaRossi47) reported@BBCSport @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The commentary is awful

Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer No one likes Johnny and the actor is terrible. Axe him now.

Emily jones (@Emilyj251288) reported@BBCiPlayer @SamsungUK we are getting error code 2100 when trying to access iplayer.Can someone help please.Its been like this for a week.Ive tried the suggested fixes online.I called samsung help line and were put on hold for over an hour and the girl never came back to the call
-
Cats Rule (@TirnAOge) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Hmmmmmm, not sure how this will work. He is so full of himself and full of being "Welsh" (I have nothing against Welsh people in general). Shame as I always enjoyed this show
-
P (@pgsaunders) reported@Defendthewest17 And on @BBCiPlayer So brilliant that it makes me sad. BBC refuses to make anything as intelligent. Current documentaries treat us as idiots. Beauty is overridden now in favour of edgy camera work, etc.
-
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.
-
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)

Chloécrutch (@Chlocrutch1) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Band 5 ICU nurses fighting for years for band 6 pay - some with 20+ years experience - told there’s no money in the budget. Not saying MLA’s don’t deserve it but other professions are being left behind when it comes to recognition! & don’t get me started on our car parking issue!

𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is an awful character already! Can't stand him
-
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.

Alex Barrett ☘️🇮🇪 (@albarr1978) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The storylines are awful right now and the so called acting is even worse

Alistair Lennox (@AlistairLennox) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer How many extra people have moved to the UK since 2000? Answer that and you’ve answered the reason behind the housing problem!
