@NealRussell17 @BBCiPlayer Tried to watch it, but the sound was awful, couldn't hear the dialogue over the soundtrack.

@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds One of the best footballers ever but an absolute clown of a manager. His work ethic and communication were ****. We lived it and wanted it to work, but he's just not management material, as per normal, it's everyone's fault but him.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Lauren is right here - Oscar didn't have to do anything and he was aware that Lauren was trying to help him out by getting him the money to pay off Mike which included going back to the Car lot to try and sell that car so she could get an advance to pay him off. #EastEnders

@BBCDragonsDen @BBCiPlayer Seems to me that this show is dead and buried but the BBC don’t want to admit it. After all, many people actually pay the TV Licence tax for specific shows… state TV at its worst. Jail if you don’t pay. Disgusting.

@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds I hope you're giving boxxer a decent budget to put on shows of quality. Would be good to see our ridiculous license fee used for something positive for a change like giving boxers a chance to change their lives.

Looking forward to watching the goals from tonight’s game on @BBCiPlayer on Sunday morning, considering you can’t organise your service Thousands of customers left with unanswered questions to the same problem on ALL channels No explanation, no reasoning SILENCE! #virginmedia

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Oscar has every right to be worried about Howie especially if he ends up going to the police.He recognised Oscar from his ankle tag and I don't think it'll take Kim long to work out that Oscar was involved as well. Lauren is also taking a massive risk covering for him #EastEnders

@BBCiPlayer Surely you care about the license paying viewers?! We would really love UHD in Apple TV to avoid the awful experience using the OS on the smart TVs! Thanks!

@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds As a Birmingham City fan, I would say that it was not so much his work ethic, just that he is not a good manager. He did cost us relegation, though.

@dumptyhumpty18 @BBCTheOneShow @BBCiPlayer She's done far more work than Lorraine plus The One Show isn't called 'Alex' so it's not as much of a deal as it is with Lorraine Kelly

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Looks like there's trouble in paradise for Howie & Kim 😬😬. Since we've had lots of Vincent mentions lately I hope this leads to Vincent returning from the dead at some point. We all assumed he was dead after the Maguire stuff in 2018 but never saw his body. #EastEnders
