The lefty Interrogator (@Mathieson4426) reportedWill you sort your ******* iplayer coverage out. Bloody awful, whem ypu tell peopleto change channel and dpnt actually change the programme. Do you talk to each other? @bbctennis @BBCiPlayer
-
V8 Gooner (@GoldenGoonerlg) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer When you think this **** can't get any lower, well Bingo it can. I mean we know the Police are clowns in Soap-land, but if they can't work out what is tomato ketchup and blood. we really are screwed. & U expect people 2 pay for a TV licence, next year swing on it.

Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As long as it’s doesn’t include those twins and Oscar….bloody awful actors and storylines. They’ve ruined this soap for months.
-
Sarah (@SarahLahorn) reported@StevenWilc34988 @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Heritage? Priya is half Indian if you didn’t know that but anyway I agree. I don’t think she gonna say the kid is Ravi’s when it will be obvious it’s not. Same reason Vinny will get the shock of his life when ‘his baby’ comes out white. Idk why Penny thinks her lie will work
-
Jumbo (@BigTrunks_1) reported@MorrisBrightMBE @BBCiPlayer Apart from the awful son who’s like a very poor charicature of Neil Morrissey & Yosser Hughes.
-
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
-
Paul Buckley (@inspiredlanky) reported@bbctms @thehundred @BBCiPlayer Awful competition. Are the BBC that desperate for sports content that it ends up showing this?
-
Voluntarily Bald (@VoluntariIyBald) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I’ve seen some ******* dreadful **** on this app. Truly awful stuff. This is now within that pantheon.
-
C . A . T (@DeathUnicursal) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Next time invite Ebola on and let it’s do its work on everyone involved in making this bullshit
-
Chuck (@ChuckIOM) reported@BobFranklin3 @ttracesofficial @BBCiPlayer No one is “making” me do anything. I know a lot of followers love the IOM, old motorcycles and the TT races, it’s of interest to them. If it’s not for you, no issue, dont watch it😎🇮🇲
-
Matthew Farris 🏳️🌈 (@mattFarris) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Bea could drive that car straight through all the plot holes in this terrible story.
-
Mel D (@MelJD46) reportedDear @bbcone @BBCiPlayer, not a problem with folk enjoying #worldcup, truly havent. It has been publicised for months, i dont think every page on the #iplayer needs to advertise it .... #justmythoughts
-
Mark Woody (@ipswoody) reportedWhen are the @BBC gonna fix the buffering issues of @BBCiPlayer tv app? During the World Cup and Wimbledon too 🙄🫣😔
-
Good Guy Barry (@Goodguybarry) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCiPlayer I've never quite understood why Scottish media have always fallen over themselves to laud Craig Gordon. Fantastic shot stopper but really terrible in most other basic aspects of goalkeeping
-
Martin Paul (@martinianpaul) reported@SeventiesLegend @BBCiPlayer I'll never understand how these things work. Plus, why are Radio 4 plays only available on Audible?
-
LP (@____LP____) reportedBBC iPlayer again utter garbage. Just doesn't work when there's something on people want to watch @BBCiPlayer
-
J's Us (@kellzik) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Josh is a terrible human being.
-
Sheila (@MrsLScotland) reported@BBCiPlayer Please help half way through New Tricks and it’s disappeared have you dropped off the programmes?
-
High-paid maid. (@No1denthygiene) reported@AnnaCollinson @BBCiPlayer The problem these parents will run into is when they signed the IVF consent form it stated that they allow the clinic to select the donor. The profiles shown to them were marketing material *only*. The policy of clinic-led selection was not made clear to them.
-
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.
-
Observer (@leftcoastobs) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I’ve been watching since the beginning and have to say this is the worst it has ever been. Tick tock
-
HarperLou100 💙💛INVOKE THE 25TH NOW,🌊🌊 (@HarperLou100) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is a creep and a ****. with really bad hair, and she is dressing like trampy *********, another awful uncomfortable watch, from the most depressing soap on TV
-
KB (@KB_ISaidBoourns) reported@BBCiPlayer Why is your app so ******* clunky. Spinny circles and error codes aplenty. Pain in the arse.
-
Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported@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.
-
Morris Bright MBE (@MorrisBrightMBE) reportedWandered into @BBCiPlayer and comedy series Ann Droid. Not said this for an awful long time about a new sitcom...I actually rather liked it. A premise that becomes more plausible every year and Sue Johnson, not a comedienne, an actress who does great comedy. I'll stick with it.
-
Amelia Jackson (@AmeliaJackson4) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Awful characters
-
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.
-
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 ?
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Nobody does any work there, it seems ! First they hang around Honey's house and then at the garden for a vigil.

LondonGirl (@JenniferGa29345) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer This episode was absolutely shocking, I like Nicola but WTF is this god awful family about, dreadful
