  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ravi and Mark could work together to take them down, Why does Mark want to be involved in dealing? Need to meet their boss soon Vincent or Fatboy

  @0MNIXXX @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer And they are optional - you click "skip" if you don't want to see it. Utter tripe from ppl with no other issues in their lives. Pathetic.

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer The 10+ Episode was the worst revisit show ever. Spoiled all the good work before.

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer What’s even worse, our carers had their pay rise postponed yet expected to continue to work. Considering how broken the HSC is it would have been more appropriate that they were paid. More carers, better retention with better pay, fewer patients blocking beds unable to go home.

  @BBCSportWales @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is a problem this guy! Not looking forward to Saturday 😔

  Anyone else having problems with @BBCiPlayer? Constantly buffering so bad as to be unwatchable. No problem on other streaming channels so wouldn't appear to be our equipment or broadband.

  @BBCiPlayer deciding to show 2/3 of an ice hockey game and show the last third a hour after it’s played. AWFUL BROADCASTING.

  Ian Smedley (@smeg9) reported 32 minutes ago

  Always know when @BBCNews is about to switch to local news even on @BBCiPlayer because the quality absolutely tanks. I understood why it might on satellite, but on iPlayer??

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Oh lord, help us. Smug, sanctimonious wokery incoming.

  @StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer Fs there are two small housing estates near me that are built for people with disabilities so what would be the problem if the majority of cars were mobility in some streets

  @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!

  Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported 38 minutes ago

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Loads??? No it's about 10 people. Distraction bs as usual. This issue is simply not affecting the majority of us. Your childish antics and your same callers day in day out! Norman & Brian 🙄 impossible to listen to for anyone with a bit of common sense

  Paul Reavley (@reavo81) reported 39 minutes ago

  Literally never watched the Winter Olympics and after having to endure the absolute dogshit broadcasting from @BBCSport and the @BBCiPlayer being the shittest platform of all time, I’m unlikely to watch it again.. No wonder everyone is binning the licence off.. Awful broadcaster

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Invading the pitch isn’t the issue, the retaliation from Huns was the issue. 100% of the blame like with the Ibrox club and they need to do better in the future

  @BBCiPlayer #bbc #Winter Olympics Dear the BBC, your coverage is absolutely shocking. Tuned in at 1230 today for the men’s biathlon on your red button service. Nothing. Thanks for nothing. Worst coverage EVER 😡

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This whole storyline is just a joke. Probably ranks up there with the 9 worst storylines the show has ever done.

  @newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer The BBC has been terrible in recent months, it shares opinions and rumors rather than the facts, very disappointed.

  George Spence (@georgespence1) reported 57 minutes ago

  @BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer That screeching woman commentator on Arsenal game would do your ears in. Had to turn the sound off. Terrible from @BBCSport women are not compatible with the men's game.

  @BBCiPlayer never saw 2012 and I really missed out didn’t I? Thanks for putting it on along with W1A before 2026. Quality.

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer This is why MAP or Women's Aid provide time & support whilst a victim thinks through their options. We support them with examining risk and making safety plans and work together to see how to leave safely. For so many, leaving or ending the relationship is the most dangerous time
