  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I think they could have made more of how Kathy was pushing him to have one drink. I think a lot of people can relate to being pressured to just have ‘one’. Ultimately is Ian’s choice of course but peer pressure doesn’t help.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Terrible episode, terrible acting and terrible storyline, not realistic and just plain boring !

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer The problem Andy doesn't get there is we don't want or will accept his or Labours policy because hes a Socalist and all he wants is to tax the hell out of anyone that works. So there won't ever be willing collaboration with his policy.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer What an awful character Darnell is. Only thinking about the inconvenience of being in a hospital he doesn't like instead of trying to save Denise's life. He should have taken that swab test in the beginning without questions. Making it all about him. Horrible man.

  @SeventiesLegend @BBCiPlayer I'll never understand how these things work. Plus, why are Radio 4 plays only available on Audible?

  Watching some of these World Cup highlights from previous tournaments on #bbciplayer you realise how awful David Seaman was for #England #FIFAWorldCup

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews really awful stuff, everyone involved should be embarrassed to have made this for the public

  steve smith (@stevetsiuk) reported 30 minutes ago

  @bbclaurak @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Well, that was a waste of time! Nothing about illegal immigration, or oil and gas. All in all, one of the worst interviews I have seen.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I don't feel the urge to listen to a pattern matchers idea of some of the worst people to live.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Tonight has to be the worst ever episode, both in the script and acting.

  John parent (@ParentJohn) reported 42 minutes ago

  @_SoccerScribe_ @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer Commentary is awful, agreed. They show a lot of games from 2022 WC especially the final. It’s better than nothing I guess.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer it was Chelsea fault telling a 4 year old to go home on his own she is one selfish and irresponsibly she a terrible mother

  @BobFranklin3 @ttracesofficial @BBCiPlayer No one is “making” me do anything. I know a lot of followers love the IOM, old motorcycles and the TT races, it’s of interest to them. If it’s not for you, no issue, dont watch it😎🇮🇲

  Not long upgraded to 360. Is there a reason I need to login to @BBCiPlayer every single time I open it? I can't get into my @DisneyPlus account on one of the boxes. Not too happy with this 360 service atm. Could you help please @virginmedia

  Derek Bell (@derek2bell) reported 50 minutes ago

  @newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer A huge number of people on buying a newspaper turn straight to the back page. Sports news is news, the worst thing is how much is excluded. They should do a separate sports news programme - 15 minutes every night - covering all aspects of all sports

  @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I suspect that both these women work for British intelligence agencies.

  @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.
