J's Us (@kellzik) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Josh is a terrible human being.

Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As long as it’s doesn’t include those twins and Oscar….bloody awful actors and storylines. They’ve ruined this soap for months.

Biohazardboy (@Biohazardboy2) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Never had this issue before we imported the third world.

Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedApproaching 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? 🤮.

Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I'll be curious to discover how Suki and Vinny will react when they discover Ravi's attack against Nugget. Would Suki keep her promise to Priya and get Ravi the help he needs? She'll feel guilty for throwing him out but doesn't want to jepodise the adoption.

Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Nicola took a massive risk going behind George's back like that to see Eddie when if he wants to see him that's her decision. As parents to Ivy - George and Nicola have built that strong level of trust and now it's broken between them. #EastEnders (1/2)

Alicepugh 🏴 (@Barbara91474014) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer People having to crowd fund to pay exorbitant rent. One already has taken out a loan because his wife's sick and can't work.

Sir Stick Your Kung Flu Passport Up Your Arse, KG (@NaahWoke) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I think the public are no longer accepting these graceless PR-coached attempts to rehabilitate people's careers. Schofield's didn't work. Huw Edwards' one isn't working. And now Sturgeon's is only going to raise people's hackles even further. Have a bit of dignity, Nicola, and just go off and live a quiet life.

Sheila (@MrsLScotland) reported@BBCiPlayer Please help half way through New Tricks and it’s disappeared have you dropped off the programmes?

Jean Dorothy Pedder 💙 (Hudson) (@leanjeanp) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Right.. I don’t recall, I can’t remember, I wasn’t aware, I didn’t spend much time in my kitchen, I never visited my mother in law, I never checked the funds despite warnings of issues, I never suspected Peter blah blah.. I know nothing!

TV Fan (@BbukSave) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee

Socialism with Scottish Green Characteristics (@ABhratachDhubh) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I hope terrible things happen to everyone involved in this.
-
FilmChampion (@PanopticalDream) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You should fire all the people who made and signed off on this and they should never work in the industry again.

C . A . T (@DeathUnicursal) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Next time invite Ebola on and let it’s do its work on everyone involved in making this bullshit
-
S.A (@SA01189711) reported@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
-
Ricardohx4 (@ricardohx4) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Vicki and Mark are terrible boring sad sack characters - they bring nothing new, they’re typical types that give the show its miserable depressing dreary life reputation it’s always trying to shake off.

Colleen Savannah (@colleensvannah) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer The UK is in trouble because people like you

Paul Duerinckx (@drinckx) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Terrible, though they all Looked more realistic than Fiona Bruce.

Mistralol (@mistralol) reported@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.
-
Lou 🇯🇲 🫢🫳🏾 (@LouloAndStitch) reported@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
-
zac (@Omegapoint111) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an embarrassing load of utter ****. ******* awful
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As usual ,characters looking at a problem the wrong way. Penny worried about Gina having to move out while surely Vinny in his 30s with money etc should have his own place that they can move to ?
-
KDUK (@KD_UK1) reported@BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer The worst miscarriage of justice is Gosport, the Liverpool Care Pathway still continuing under its new name End of Life Pathway. Normalised way of killing of people who may or may not be dying. Horrific enforced deaths by pulmonary oedema. But it looks peaceful due to sedation

Sir Webblyingworth Brian Squirrelingtonshire 🐿 (@WebSquirrel) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer “Her version of events” I think that’s the problem to begin with, well at least she’s consistent 🤭
-
Frances Maxwell (@Frances00494672) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope they bump Mark off. He's a terrible character.
-
ScottieTinkerbell (@sc_tinkerbell) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer My thought wow nobody was actually hurt in that. Minor injuries only. But nobody really trapped, no broken bones. Everyone just walked out. Ravi the acting is fantastic!
-

Prof Ken Rollings, common sense affiliated media (@Kennyangel) reported@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
