    @shellthestig @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer So is Oscar….definitely signs with him. Jean has behavioural issues in addition to bipolar. And Bert & Ernie act strangely but they might just be terribly bad actors! Not sure this is necessarily miles off for a Square of people.

    @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Ravi's car crash - rolled multiple times, all four occupants in and out of AE within an hour, with only a small plaster on Pryia's noggin. Ian reverses into a child at 0.000001 mph, boy is paralysed.

    @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You chickened out a bit there - no Hitler or Mussolini. Normally, you put on the worst right-wingers.

    @BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s the worst cast member in years , get her off the programme . Awful

    @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer “Her version of events” I think that’s the problem to begin with, well at least she’s consistent 🤭

    @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer @bbceastenders made some errors. Why was Jack wearing a surgical mask and apron in one scene with Denise, and the following day he, Chelsea and Libby wore no mask? Surely, with Jordan in the hospital as well, they can transfer germs to each other.

    @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You just failed to call out the real problem with AI while committing the same problem yourselves stealing intellectual property.

    @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Possibly the worst incidental music ever written.

    @thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer With some conditions there is no way to alleviate the horror & indignity. Palliative care can only do so much. Watching a loved one vomit up faeces is awful but nothing to the appalling experience by the patient. It should be the individual’s choice.

    @hello2025149382 @RoyalFamily @BBCiPlayer What's the problem? Do you think it would be done now?

    @william27504693 @BBCSportScot @BBCiPlayer It's not high bar, MON's goalies were poor e.g. Douglas, Hedman etc. Only after Boruc Celtic GK's vastly improved. Gordon brilliant shot stopper, just unfortunate he's garbage at crosses, prone to gaffes & terrible with ball at feet which is vital in modern game.

    @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful storyline and writing = awful acting from everyone involved.

  • brianofipswich
    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.

    @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.

    @BBCiPlayer never saw 2012 and I really missed out didn’t I? Thanks for putting it on along with W1A before 2026. Quality.

    @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer The problem with flash forward episodes is when you have the cliff hanger like this we all know he's not going to prison or anything like that because 6 months from now he's the best man at Max's wedding. I mean come on, write better.

    Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The show is on the verge of going all gangster again, which is why people turn off in the first place. Why would you want to undo all the hard work you've done to go backwards?

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer What was that poor attempt fire effect at the end of tonight’s episode? That CGI fire was absolutely terrible.

    @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.

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The storylines are awful right now and the so called acting is even worse

    @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.

    @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer **** off with this shite and **** the BBC. Who’d have thought it would be them who would platform this grifter to help her cause. I’m shocked I tell you. #defundtheBBC #dontpayyourtvlicence
