Andrew (@Grokton) reported@dnmcg @BBCiPlayer Hi! Spotted a UI bug on Red Dwarf. 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!
-
Sarah (@SarahLahorn) reported@StevenWilc34988 @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer 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’s not. It’s the same reason why Vinny will get the shock of his left when ‘his baby’ comes out white skinned. Idk why Penny thinks her lie will work
-
Film Noir UK (@FilmNoirUK) reported@JoeFrady @BBCiPlayer So it wasn't just us with a terrible Blu-ray then?! This is the (what we call) the 'French Correction' edition; but it's the one which they cleaned up after the disastrous release.
-
Tom O (P) (@Tommy_Oldham1) reported@GMNonLeague @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Sounds like a major Own goal we was only talking in work about the days when you could watch a game a few hours later without knowing the score.
-
Ralph (@Nasher1234589) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's the fading days of empire isnt it and their last marginalized group to kick and kill legally , the problem is them not us

Stevie83 (@stevie80con) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Lauren takes after her dad. Can’t help herself.
-
Scott | #81 #4 | (@ScottTHFC23) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Awful.
-
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.

Magan Hassan (@MaganHGang) reported@DanielO04532942 @PokemonNewsUK @BBCiPlayer They don't work on that..
-
Lee Millard (@onein300) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer We just need it regulated and the awful status quo rectified.
-
Sheila (@MrsLScotland) reported@BBCiPlayer Please help half way through New Tricks and it’s disappeared have you dropped off the programmes?
-
Iain From Argyll Scotland 🏴💙 (@BonnieScotland_) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I suspect that both these women work for British intelligence agencies.
-
Dave (@PremierKickk) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Those awful story TikTok ads were less cringe than the Honey Bea segments on today’s ep
-
Liam🗻🌸 (@LiamJM10TV) reported@tomgreat1990 @BBCiPlayer @BBCSport Ran into the same problem. They're going to have an awful lot of people watching on demand, majority will skip to kick off and end up with the forced spoilers in the marker boxes that appear forcibly.

carcosa (@staynoided808) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Awful, simply awful. This is the bottom of the barrel, BBC.
-
Harumph 😾 (@lasagneinmyshoe) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCiPlayer This has been the worst box set - Dylan's the only thing saving it
-
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.
-
Socialism with Scottish Green Characteristics (@ABhratachDhubh) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I hope terrible things happen to everyone involved in this.
-
Sarah Watts, the Dragon Princess (@SarahWatts51281) reported@BBCiPlayer Why are the Doctor who episodes going from the episode you started from then fine in the middle then go back to the start of that first one, fix it please
-
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
-
RolandPoland (@roland_poland23) reported@RealDMitchell @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Enjoying it very much, although the terrible blurring of either side of the screen was immensely distracting from your performances and the story.
-
Cazzy Ford 🥦🥦🥕🥕 (@HolfordCarolyn) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Awful awful episode and acting 😡 more like Hollyoaks!
-
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???
-
Willie Gilmour⭐️ (@williegilmour) reported@kevinbridges86 @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Player on left will never win a game of bf like that. School boy errors
-
Rkin (@RKin3333) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's not enough to "work on" a good death for all. Delivery is already long overdue. If the government is not committing to funding it now, it isn't going to be provided for those who need it now or 5 years hence or even 10 years hence.
-
Peter Rossiter (@RosieandJim18) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Terrible episode, terrible acting and terrible storyline, not realistic and just plain boring !
-
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.
-
Ciaran Wallace💙 (@oldbencjw) reportedWatching some of these World Cup highlights from previous tournaments on #bbciplayer you realise how awful David Seaman was for #England #FIFAWorldCup
-
Dr Martin (@MartinRemains) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What a terrible idea. I didn’t watch it.

alex teakle (@TeakleAlex) reported@bbctms @thehundred @BBCiPlayer I feel sorry for them all having to work on this wretched pantomime stuff so they can do the proper cricket
