Harumph 😾 (@lasagneinmyshoe) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCiPlayer This has been the worst box set - Dylan's the only thing saving it
-
lordclifton 🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@lordclifton2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why aren’t they at the Airport police station? Why is arrested Sheila arriving at the front entrance like that? The show is so poorly written these days and terrible continuity I may have to quit after 41 years.
-
RolandPoland (@roland_poland23) reported@RealDMitchell @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Enjoying it very much, although the terrible blurring of either side of the screen was immensely distracting from your performances and the story.
-
Calum G (@CalumG48) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer What an awful character Darnell is. Only thinking about the inconvenience of being in a hospital he doesn't like instead of trying to save Denise's life. He should have taken that swab test in the beginning without questions. Making it all about him. Horrible man.
-
Mark Woody (@ipswoody) reportedWhen are the @BBC gonna fix the buffering issues of @BBCiPlayer tv app? During the World Cup and Wimbledon too 🙄🫣😔
-
J (@Jayefc60) reportedThe 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.
-
Stevie83 (@stevie80con) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Lauren takes after her dad. Can’t help herself.
-
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.
-
AlexRichardson (@AlexRic79797880) reported@justalazyguyy @piersmorgan @BBCiPlayer I just woke up at 5.45, watched the game. Now getting ready for work. Not so much sleep missed.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer So now Denise has told Jack quickly but there's still a problem of course. I expect she won't want chemo treatment but will go for it eventually.
-
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.
-
Tom O (P) (@Tommy_Oldham1) reported@GMNonLeague @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Sounds like a major Own goal we was only talking in work about the days when you could watch a game a few hours later without knowing the score.
-
AlisonAbraham (@AlisonA02620688) reported@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.
-
Harumph 😾 (@lasagneinmyshoe) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He's literally in the flash forward so we know he's in it for 6 more months. The flash forward has sucked so much intrigue out of the show and left a sense of dread as we now know we are stuck with the abysmal twins until New year's as well. Terrible idea poorly executed
-
Rebecca (@BeckRSaunders) reported@ottleyoconnor @BBCiPlayer @FIFAWorldCup It is the first day of term 3 for me... up at 5am to watch the game before I get ready to go to work
-
very rad (@veryrad113332) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I think they could have made more of how Kathy was pushing him to have one drink. I think a lot of people can relate to being pressured to just have ‘one’. Ultimately is Ian’s choice of course but peer pressure doesn’t help.
-
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.
-
Justyn Spooner (@justynjj) reported@ITVX can you get the dev team to sort out your streaming quality. It makes your service look terrible especially for the @FIFAWorldCup @BBCiPlayer are years ahead of you in quality.
-
Sheila (@MrsLScotland) reported@BBCiPlayer Please help half way through New Tricks and it’s disappeared have you dropped off the programmes?
-
Sarah Watts, the Dragon Princess (@SarahWatts51281) reported@BBCiPlayer Why are the Doctor who episodes going from the episode you started from then fine in the middle then go back to the start of that first one, fix it please
-
MyboyAustie🌟 (@AustinsSatnin) reportedElvis wasn't enlisted in the army after the trouble performance that didn't happen So thats another inaccuracy 4 years on @BBCiPlayer #AustinButler #Elvis2022
-
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.

vincent bamber (@vinnybamber) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That episode was terrible
-
Marjorie ***** (@MingeyMarje) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Just awful lazy writing at the moment…
-
Sir Webblyingworth Brian Squirrelingtonshire 🐿 (@WebSquirrel) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer “Her version of events” I think that’s the problem to begin with, well at least she’s consistent 🤭
-
Brian Whelan (@brianwhelanhack) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews awful slop. but also, three of those guests would never have got onto a show like yours during their lifetimes
-
TV Fan (@BbukSave) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee
-
Ranahabarana (@ranahabarana) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer What is that awful outfit Denise is wearing, those trousers 😱 Silly Lauren. I don’t know why George is in a huff about the money, he deserves to have after all that **** with Eddie & yes what kind of business man is he not checking his restaurant’ account???
-
Colin Lingham (@LinghamColin) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Without any doubt, The worst program on Television. And the bbc want the British Tax paying public to pay for this. Outrageous.
