  @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Right.. I don’t recall, I can’t remember, I wasn’t aware, I didn’t spend much time in my kitchen, I never visited my mother in law, I never checked the funds despite warnings of issues, I never suspected Peter blah blah.. I know nothing!

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

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

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer This was absolutely terrible. Nothing happened throughout, boring all the way too the end. Glad to see it finish! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zzzzzz. Awful characters. Can they buzz off now Sharon and son are back please. Surprised Vicki isn’t wearing her black tights under her wedding dress.

  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Can I just say your commentators are ******* awful to listen to. So poor and biased

  @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope you asked her about the video Laura where she shut down everyone by saying there was no issue with the funds

  Exposed : The high street crime crisis. BBCiPlayer 😳 Ripping the absolute p*ss out of the UK. Broken Britain.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This funeral show was extremely well done. Not too sobby…well acted and well written. Thank you for a good show. On the other hand..the stupid car bet , as if selling a car turns anyone into a cash cow. Characters buy property, cars etc with no problems but can’t afford a bap

  @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer The worst miscarriage of justice is Gosport, the Liverpool Care Pathway still continuing under its new name End of Life Pathway. Normalised way of killing of people who may or may not be dying. Horrific enforced deaths by pulmonary oedema. But it looks peaceful due to sedation

  @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.

  @bbcpress @boyz_allowed @BBCiPlayer It's an awful programme though lol

  @BBCBargainHunt @BBCiPlayer Q.Ever wondered what your pet is thinking? A. Yes, not another of these awful recycled repeats compilation no one likes!

  The saga of @BBCiPlayer on our @SamsungUK TV continues. Not swift and somewhat unsure, Samsung; 96 hours outage and counting. I connected via DMs, gave personal and TV details, and asked about timescales. No answer? Is this a kind of limbo?

  The picture quality on fhe @BBCiPlayer app for the world Cup is far better than on the @ITVX app. Proper UHD on the BBC. Poor from itv.

  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer This afternoon's commentators on Si Jiahui v Hossein Vafaei are awful. Snooker is an interesting game. This pair are better off on mute

  @darrenjadams @anon_opin @BBCiPlayer Drives me mad!! I like auto play of the next episode of the thing I’m watching but I don’t want to watch Casualty or Waterloo Road. Ever. I delete from continue watching but next day they’re back. Terrible development team.

  @_SoccerScribe_ @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer Commentary is awful, agreed. They show a lot of games from 2022 WC especially the final. It’s better than nothing I guess.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You should fire all the people who made and signed off on this and they should never work in the industry again.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer When leaders do not listen to the public or resolve a forever list of increasing issues, yes people are going to reject the goverment.
