Eternal Flame🔥 (@DazzMetalFlame) reported@k_heyrab @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Would you rather he be boring and soft like he was a while ago? Also therapy doesnt always work, sometimes you end up worse
-
steve smith (@stevetsiuk) reported@bbclaurak @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Well, that was a waste of time! Nothing about illegal immigration, or oil and gas. All in all, one of the worst interviews I have seen.
-
Bernadette Shaw (@bernadette67_a) reported@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.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As usual ,characters looking at a problem the wrong way. Penny worried about Gina having to move out while surely Vinny in his 30s with money etc should have his own place that they can move to ?
-
Dave M (@Sebby2067) reported@bbctms @thehundred @BBCiPlayer Terrible competition The Hundred this gimmick cricket is just garbage
-
Lee Millard (@onein300) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer We just need it regulated and the awful status quo rectified.
-
Rkin (@RKin3333) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's not enough to "work on" a good death for all. Delivery is already long overdue. If the government is not committing to funding it now, it isn't going to be provided for those who need it now or 5 years hence or even 10 years hence.
-
Martin Nisbet (@TartanLeotard) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Possibly the worst incidental music ever written.
-
Bob Skowron (@Staggerlee1950) reported@BBCBargainHunt @BBCiPlayer Ha! 27th August episode - yet another broken item from the ‘wouldn’t trust you with a bag of stones’ amateur antiques program .
-
McQ8 (@McQ8__) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCiPlayer Quality
-
Mick minas your host with the most (@MOVIESTVMAD) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer So do prison storylines work? Yes I think that ***** den in prison was sensational and having nick cotton there to was genius it seems there trying to repeat that vibe there just not talented enough to pull it off Adam is doing great but it isn't enough
-
Ciaran Wallace💙 (@oldbencjw) reportedWatching some of these World Cup highlights from previous tournaments on #bbciplayer you realise how awful David Seaman was for #England #FIFAWorldCup
-
christine watson (@christinew11474) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer I can understand Eve wanting to get back at Nicola but what has George done to her. He'd be the one who'd be in trouble if it came out he let Eddie die not Nicola.
-
Allan G (@AllanG511622) reported@stvplayeruk It’s a shame your coverage of the World Cup football games is not in UHD 4k. Footage is terrible compared to the great BBC Iplayer UHD 4k coverage of games. @BBCiPlayer
-
Donna (@Donna14634857) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer What Joel has done was awful but I did feel sorry for him in yesterday’s episode has he changed we shall see.
-
Donna (@Donna14634857) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I’ve watched EE from day dot, since NY it’s the worst it’s ever been. Far fetched, ridiculous story lines that just don’t make sense or wouldn’t happen or far fetched it’s laughable , boring, more miserable than it ever was.
-
Idris (@idrisamihere) reported@bbcpress @boyz_allowed @BBCiPlayer It's an awful programme though lol
-
Robert Stead (@SteadRobert) reportedThe @BBCiPlayer does my nut in, why is it so slow and dimwhitted. Just work for once. Every time I try to use it with my mum at the care home, sod all for 30 mins. @ITVX works like a dream.
-
Peach pie (@C25802878) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Courtroom scenes were awful why is he not in the dock, he wouldn’t be standing next to his barrister, his solicitor is randomly at the back of the room addressing the Judge when he wouldn’t be allowed to as there’s a barrister.. definitely get a legal advisor to assist next time
-
Matt Bunnell (@mattbun) reported@Giantdaz72 @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer A lot of the attraction of the old stuff is listening to Coleman/Motson/Davies commentating down a crackly phone line. Those recently re-voiced commentaries are terrible.
-
Peter Rossiter (@RosieandJim18) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Terrible episode, terrible acting and terrible storyline, not realistic and just plain boring !
-
Raymond Thompson (@QuestorTho9502) reported@BBCBargainHunt @BBCiPlayer That tiger was awful for that money.
-
NickelodeonLover (@DanielO04532942) reported@catillo596 @BBCiPlayer Anybody got a link so I don’t have to sign in to BBC iPlayer?
-
FRAGSTAR (@Fragstar00) reported@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.
-
Colin Lingham (@LinghamColin) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer One of the most disrespectful thing to do, is to wear a Hat indoors, and there are 2 at this party. The one who works in the " 3 stall market ", must Stink as he never takes his off and is so terrible on the show. Absolutely disgusting.
-
Liam🗻🌸 (@LiamJM10TV) reported@tomgreat1990 @BBCiPlayer @BBCSport Ran into the same problem. They're going to have an awful lot of people watching on demand, majority will skip to kick off and end up with the forced spoilers in the marker boxes that appear forcibly.
-
annie cj 🌿💚🌿🦋🌿🦎🌱🐸 (@cj_annie) reportedAnyone else having trouble with @BBCiPlayer loading tonight? It's trying to blame my Internet connection (which looks fine!)
-
Brian (@Brian73789347) reported@Janekelly25 @BBCiPlayer At least it is not a picture of a gazelle. Hopefully the adaptation was done by someone more willing to familiarise themselves with the work.
-
alex teakle (@TeakleAlex) reported@bbctms @thehundred @BBCiPlayer I feel sorry for them all having to work on this wretched pantomime stuff so they can do the proper cricket
-
Noah Lott (@NoahLott72) reported@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
