Booba (@dolfingray) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer If they are entitled to them then what’s the issue? You know you are punching down here Stephen? People with disabilities and conditions having to justify themselves to you and your sensationalist reporting. Poor form.

Graham Burns (@GrahamBurns81) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer first thing when there is a problem is to ask “why” then we can look at solutions…
-
Clive Wilson (@clive_wilson) reported@BBCiPlayer There are issues today with the iPlayer app no longer working on the Roku 3840 Streaming Stick, without warning. Other 3840 users are also affected. Is there a reason for this? Planned or unexpected?
-
M (@MustBeMam) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Total and utter failure by Scot Gov who have taken away every support and back up a teacher had. No wonder they’re leaving in their droves. And to not even try and fix it, it shows such a throw away attitude to professionals lives. It’s disgusting.
-
WBA Essex Baggie (@ChrisRicha49037) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer The 10+ Episode was the worst revisit show ever. Spoiled all the good work before.
-
𝓚𝓿𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓱 𝓒𝓪𝓻𝓮𝔂🦋✨️ (@TheeTayRiahStan) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Worst storyline of all time
-
Jonathan TUTOR (@therealslimsta) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer I would’ve liked the same characters from Detectorists but set in a different historical period like Blackadder. I’d like to see Small Prophets series two. Maybe Clia had to go work for Santa as she disappeared on Christmas Eve.
-
Danny Tarr (@DannyTarr) reported@StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer Buskers don’t bother me as some of them are very good to listen too. It’s the preachers I have a problem with. It has got way out of hand and I agree something needs to be done. Cant turn a corner without someone shouting about Jesus down a mic or forcing leaflets in your hand.

Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I'll be curious to discover how Suki and Vinny will react when they discover Ravi's attack against Nugget. Would Suki keep her promise to Priya and get Ravi the help he needs? She'll feel guilty for throwing him out but doesn't want to jepodise the adoption.
-
Chloécrutch (@Chlocrutch1) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Band 5 ICU nurses fighting for years for band 6 pay - some with 20+ years experience - told there’s no money in the budget. Not saying MLA’s don’t deserve it but other professions are being left behind when it comes to recognition! & don’t get me started on our car parking issue!

TJW (@TraceyW83194634) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer God help this country really hope reform can save it

actionslaxx (@actionslaxx) reported@Gordon_998877 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer yep, having to login every time you switch back to the iPlayer (even if you've just got one profile) is a PITA - other streaming services don't make you do this
-
.. (@_lg_1972) reported@EnglandRugby @BBCiPlayer We are terrible. What do we practice aside from kick chase ? Our passing is atrocious
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedThe 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?
-
wbd (@chazul11) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer What we’re dealing with is a woke academic who is again using this falsehood toxic masculinity! These are yobs and the problem is ultras and the entitlement of Celtic football club who due to victimhood believe they can do what they want and the issue is the reaction only

melonax9 (@melonax9) reported@tlukethompson @BBCiPlayer ******* FINALLY A BETTER QUALITY !!!!
-
Caner 🇬🇧 (@canerazz) reported@adamhale_ @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer Luckily I don't have to deal with this kinda problems when using xevatv
-
Loretta (@Loretta37311) reported@o_charmian29763 @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Each to their own but I find her awful, totally unwatchable… those facial expressions. A terrible over-actor.
-
Jay Wood (@ProudBritish38) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer bring back Jay.. I'm not saying what Jamie said wasn't stupid, cruel or straight up being a ****, however, he said 1 word, and then regretted saying it. Look at other actors and actresses that have done stuff throughout EastEnders history 1. Leslie [***** Den] killed a german taxi driver, whilst not recent nor whilst he portrayed Den the truth about Leslie would soon show. Leslie played the character of Den for years after that revelation. 2. Jessie [Kat slater] has assaulted Police officers. 3. Steve [Phil mitchell] alleged domestic issues. Whilst the show wouldn't feel the same without Kat or Phil, love them or hate them, Jay/Jamie did **** all wrong in comparison to these three.

Jamie_d (@jamied28) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer If the fans didn’t enter the pitch there’s no trouble simple as that. As usual one team is playing the victim card

lisa 🥀 • ben mitchell loml (@benapologist) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer callum and johnny are abysmal together and this tim storyline which deals with a serious issue deserved actual build-up and care. whoever came up with this storyline needs to be fired asap
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Boring boring boring. Unbelievable nonsense story. Why would Priya steal a car to take Ravi to hospital and then not even ask for him to be seen? She would have asked for help weeks ago. Children boring with endless disasters. I wish the car crash had written them out.

Champions 67 (@MCeltmick) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Can't help yourselves. pundits either current or ex Sevco. Every week.
-
Andy P (@frjack) reported@NordVPN When I last renewed my VPN you werent working with bbciplayer - at the time i was told (by your customer service folks) that there was a problem. Is this resolved now?
-
s h a b s 🌷 🦚 (@sukeve_xo) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sukeve clip during ******* visibility week? IKTR!!! But come on now guys, we've done the "Suki doesn't communicate when she's stressed and trying to make everyone's problems go away" before and she learned from it, if we're not making a point of showing her growth and how she's adapted for the better on this adoption journey and it's just revisiting old habits with no reasoning or closure, it's giving inconsistent.
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedHey @BBCiPlayer . Still no joy with @SamsungUK ? It's over 48 hours now, and still no progress. I have discovered how useless the help functions on the TV are, but that doesn't shift the dial. Don't you have an AI support function yet to get this moving to resolution?
-
Sir Brian of Ipswich (@brianofipswich) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Just finished. Not seeing the hype. Michael is throughly unlikable. No pride in his home, appearance or employment. Nihilistic and a compulsive liar. Emotionally stunted and a taker. He treats anyone that requires something of him with distain. Awful man.

donna rawlinson (@jamieshawn1623) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer link dont work goes to facebook

Jim James (@JimJamesHorgan) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That gym moment of watching a terrible actor trying to look smart felt like eastenders hitting new depths but then came the break in scene 😣 Go to any amateur group & you'll find way better actors. Even when he has good lines he just wastes them 🤢

Ranahabarana (@ranahabarana) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sorry but these two sound like teenagers fighting over some toy! I mean he is literally her dad & grandfather 👴 f her children and he wanted to make up with his kids! Seriously no thoughts to her mental issues & challenges!
