-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders
-
Shaun (@welsh_shaun) reported@BBCiPlayer coverage of world cup has had the awful idea of marking goals along the fast forward bar, ensuring anyone watching on catch up gets a spoiler. So annoying. Fix it! #wc2026
-
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???
-
Alison Maitland (@alison_maitland) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s a narcissist boot. She’s played all her cult for fools for years. Nicola Sturgeon only cares about Nicola Sturgeon. She loved living the high life and now it’s came crashing down. Crocodile tears won’t work anymore.

Mistralol (@mistralol) reported@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.

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.

LP (@____LP____) reportedBBC iPlayer again utter garbage. Just doesn't work when there's something on people want to watch @BBCiPlayer

keira🪩 (@dontkeiraboutit) reported@BBCiPlayer we don’t want josh widdicombe fix it now
-
North Yorkshire Owls (@NorthYorksOwls) reported@DGroundhopper @BBCiPlayer @BlairMcNally1 I think what you and I experienced in Berlin is fine, because it’s organised, because you know it’s going to happen and if you want to get away from it, you can. The issue over here is people letting them off incorrectly, unorganised and occasionally in enclosed environments.

🏄🏽♂️ #SurvivedSlot (@ashh150) reported@BBCiPlayer fix your app brev

Tyke on a bike (@MelvinJCain) reported@BBCiPlayer U assume you don’t want you licence payers to use iplayer. I have watched it for years. Now it’s telling me to log in, log in. It’s not the correct password I create new password. Still cannot login The sooner the BBC loses its charter the better.

J's Us (@kellzik) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Josh is a terrible human being.

Robert Stead (@SteadRobert) reportedThe @BBCiPlayer does my nut in, why is it so slow and dimwhitted. Just work for once. Every time I try to use it with my mum at the care home, sod all for 30 mins. @ITVX works like a dream.
-
Andrew (@Grokton) reported@BBCiPlayer Hi! UI bug on the Red Dwarf boxset. The page says "Available until Sat", but clicking the "?" help icon next to it just gives an "Oops, something went wrong" error page. Just flagging the broken link/incorrect countdown for your tech team.
-
Jay (@PootJM) reported@ekaurpokhran @RoyalFamily @BBCiPlayer Low tier bait. You have many worse problems. At least sort the litter out. Anyway, I'm not spending my Friday evening arguing with someone in India, have a good day. HBD to Sir David.

Jason Moulton (@JasonMo95527460) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Ravi's car crash - rolled multiple times, all four occupants in and out of AE within an hour, with only a small plaster on Pryia's noggin. Ian reverses into a child at 0.000001 mph, boy is paralysed.
-
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 ?
-
Christian Edwards (@smile_out39443) reported@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
-
Nathan Jarvis (@MrNJ39) reported@BBCiPlayer @BBC Can you watch World Cup football in UHD on the iPlayer using fire tv. It works via the iPlayer app on my Samsung TV but not my 4K Fire TV device? Is it broken? A lot of people are saying the same in forums
-
scottb (@scottb1103) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer best & worst day of all time following Scotland. Getting to Wembley was a “challenge”…saved by Dundee boys in a mini van!! Played really well first half & HT was brilliant. Guffs scored good goal but we would have won that game if pen goes in. McCoist should have taken it
-
Socialism with Scottish Green Characteristics (@ABhratachDhubh) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I hope terrible things happen to everyone involved in this.
-
Frances Maxwell (@Frances00494672) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope they bump Mark off. He's a terrible character.
-
Lou 🇯🇲 🫢🫳🏾 (@LouloAndStitch) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews This is terrible and you should feel bad. What a ******* waste of licensees money, a blight on the planet, and stain on the already worthless brand of QT and the BBC. A plague on both your houses
-
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.
-
Blaco Bass (@blacobass1969) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer He's the worst of working class people. What a ****, tax dodger promoting other tax dodgers. Absolute ****.
-
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.

Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer There is going to be trouble brewing for that family and residence soon, we all know what eddie is like.
