  The worst thing about watching the World Cup on catch-up is how long it takes them to upload the matches @ITVX @BBCiPlayer

  @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???

  Hey @BBCiPlayer . Still no joy with @SamsungUK ? It's over 48 hours now, and still no progress. I have discovered how useless the help functions on the TV are, but that doesn't shift the dial. Don't you have an AI support function yet to get this moving to resolution?

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Probably the worst Question Time I’ve ever seen. Total trash 🧐

  @Carl_M79 @BBCiPlayer Loved the novel back in school but that drama is terrible, best of with the old movie

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer If the fans didn’t enter the pitch there’s no trouble simple as that. As usual one team is playing the victim card

  @FootyAccums They're hiding it behind a paywall because they know everyone will see how much better the FA Cup final on BBC iPlayer UHD HDR HLG looks. It completely embarrasses the TNT Ultimate feed. The drop-off in quality since BT Sport left is an absolute joke. @BBCiPlayer @tntsports

  @BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer What a poor game, Ross County proving they are worst team in the division and Colin Steven proving he is worst ref in Scotland.

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Acting work dried up?

  Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reported 22 minutes ago

  Approaching 24 hours outage, now, @BBCiPlayer , with a @SamsungUK TV that won't load beyond the BBC menu system. This is rendering the BBC licence fee we pay subject to challenge on a non delivery of service basis. It seems Samsung are pivoting to a pay for upgrade model? 🤮.

  @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.

  Exposed : The high street crime crisis. BBCiPlayer 😳 Ripping the absolute p*ss out of the UK. Broken Britain.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I predict both will vomit when they realise what they've done, but Patrick did say to Oscar in the flashforward that he was with a Truman now, so unless he and Jasmine somehow manage to reconcile, maybe this pair manages to work it out?

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What a terrible idea. Real ‘cool’ uncle at a party vibe…

  @BBCiPlayer No matter what I do in my settings, the sign language man will not leave my screen and I have commentary over the actors dialog . Please fix this bug as it’s ruining Eastenders for me

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Other parties should invite this woman to tell them what they can do to help. SNP need to be stopped. They are ruining our schools.

  @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.

  @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

  @shellthestig @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer So is Oscar….definitely signs with him. Jean has behavioural issues in addition to bipolar. And Bert & Ernie act strangely but they might just be terribly bad actors! Not sure this is necessarily miles off for a Square of people.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer There is the problem. They shouldn't be trying to govern us. They are there to Administer services of the state for the benefit of the population instead of themselves or their globalist masters

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system
