    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Stop this. Why is Callum so emotionally cold? Why is he not thinking about Ben? Remember Ben? The love of Callum's life? He's only in Manchester now, but Callum is acting like he never existed. Ben Wadey is an incompetent EP. Fix this disaster.

  • mishybabez_ Michelle💕 (@mishybabez_) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Stacey is old enough to make her own choices. After everything she's been through she needs a break. I get Jean is missing her but taking it out on other people isn't gonna help #EastEnders

  • GillianKeel2 GillK (@GillianKeel2) reported

    @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer Why? She has no problem with men taking jobs from women and no problem with personally taking jobs from actors.

  • 0MNIXXX 🤷🏻‍♂️ (@0MNIXXX) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This is genuinely one of the worst storylines in soap history. It makes ZERO sense.

  • Debs_1982 Debs - #TeamBalian (@Debs_1982) reported

    @Sidewayssince @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer I’m just thinking all might not be as it seems with him maybe 🤔 I wonder if he’s got a vendetta against Zoe! Maybe not, who knows. Oh definitely about the video, that’s awful to see for them isn’t it 🥺

  • lasagneinmyshoe 🦚K (@lasagneinmyshoe) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer No one likes this. Not even the people who hated Ben like this. Its so implausible and stupily rushed. Its ruined Callum - fix it please.

  • ThaisSher Thaïs Sher (@ThaisSher) reported

    Missed the Tosca, yesterday...will listen to again on the @BBCiPlayer ..!- Was too busy trying to help with other family staying ...@BBCRadio3

  • rom1792 Windy (@rom1792) reported

    Nobody should pay a licence fee whilst @BBCiPlayer and @BBCSounds services are so awful to use. Never connect, appalling interface and no access to the services you pay for with your licence fee.

    @BBCiPlayer not working

  • GiuliaBould Giulia Bould (@GiuliaBould) reported

    @rpmutch @BBCNWT @BBCiPlayer Not something that's levelled at me usually given I work about 70 hours a week to improve myself

  • sdfpk Odd Polls (@sdfpk) reported

    @BBCiPlayer Hi. You’ve messed up the iOS #iPlayer app. The on-screen backward/forward buttons sporadically don’t work. You must have released an update riddled with errors. Please can it be fixed cos it’s giving it a bad reputation.

  • RyanSoapKing25 Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders If Anthony is right about Zoe having a " Psychotic Break" - I wonder if this what will force Jean and Zoe to bond and bury the hatchet. Remember Jean had cancer and has bipolar - MH issues also run in the Slater family. Not ready for Freddie to leave Jean 😢

  • 0MNIXXX 🤷🏻‍♂️ (@0MNIXXX) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer So the whole scene tonight with Jasmine getting Oscar drunk in a bar then leaving him on his own. A grown woman getting a child drunk. Elaine not caring about a child in her bar after 11pm. Let me guess, absolutely no issue there at all because shes a woman and hes a boy.

  • Ellie_BelleP1 Ellie Belle (@Ellie_BelleP1) reported

    @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer Devastated that the Scottish actors are pretty awful. She should stick to Karen Pirie.

  • Fragglerockimp Imp (@Fragglerockimp) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Obviously Nige is gonna crash it, Bless him, Jasmine has got something to do with the family that wanted to kill her 🤔 and PLEASE !!! End this BORING Drug story ,getting right on my nerves, oki needs to get what he deserves, now Ravi is back hope he sorts it

  • 0MNIXXX 🤷🏻‍♂️ (@0MNIXXX) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Literally one of the worst episodes ever. Half of the scenes made ZERO sense & were just filler. Lauren didnt notice the car gone all day, Oscar is a CHILD yet being treated as an adult, Harry had the chance to get George round but didnt. What was the point of the carbreak down?

  • StevenWilc34988 Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sorry, but who leaves a bar unattended with a pub full of customers that could help themselves?

  • richard05342679 Richard 494949 (@richard05342679) reported

    @TheAntonDuBeke @bbcstrictly @BBCiPlayer What an awful wig he has now

  • EndAusterityNow FI - Dan The Man (@EndAusterityNow) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Can't think of many times over the years where I've thought the acting was this poor and it doesn't help that her storylines are trash too. (Anthony's weird obsession, Sharon scouring the earth to find the love child) If it's an Xmas who done, it can't come soon enough.

  • rickey_d rick walters (@rickey_d) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why are you guys pushing this unwanted…unliked relationship between two terrible characters…shoving it into the face of Ballum fans…job well done…

  • 103amf 103amf Annette 💙 💚 (@103amf) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer I'm still trying to work out who did it Vicki was very angry but not sure if it was her horrible thing to do not Just to Zoe but kat too surely not Jean

  • HappyFlutz ChHy1 (@HappyFlutz) reported

    @BBCSport @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer Why do you insist on wasting fee payers money on those awful commentators when the FIG has a feed with English language commentary (which is very good!)?

  • Sezzarid Sezza (@Sezzarid) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Just watching that flat and seeing all the druggies might help ??

  • steve66stevie66 Steve Devlin (@steve66stevie66) reported

    @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Once again iplayer not working for rugby league. This theme has continued for years. I can watch live football scores on iplayer and everything else but just not rugby league. I’m sure rugby union would work too. What are we paying a licence fee for?

  • RyanSoapKing25 Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders With Nigel confused and his condition deteriorating I can't see him going to India any time soon - Nigel seems very easily led at the moment but that's down to his condition. I just hope he doesn't get into trouble for tonight's Duff Duff 😬

  • stevo5june Jeannie Le Mesurier (@stevo5june) reported

    @BBCiPlayer can’t get on bbciplayer. Is this because of the outrages problem?

  • Slytherinshare Daniel (@Slytherinshare) reported

    @adamfleming @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Hmmm… a 25 hour podcast, is someone conniving to create a ‘night of the long knives’ or do we have a number of by-elections due to help pass the midnight hours?

  • mikepriestley13 MIKE! (@mikepriestley13) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Terrible storyline that’s dragging on that will end **** aswell so watched it for all these months

  • julielkmoore Julie Gorton (Moore) (@julielkmoore) reported

    @BBCiPlayer what’s the reason for error on your play back on strictly??

  • let_part Let’s be part of the solution (@let_part) reported

    @Peadletipper @BBCNews @BBCiPlayer I have no trouble understanding their conclusions. However there is a bias based on “well the rider shouldn’t have been there in the first place”. Should the driver have seen someone who *should* have been there in the first place? Eg a similarly sized cyclist with lights
