Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Boring boring boring. Unbelievable nonsense story. Why would Priya steal a car to take Ravi to hospital and then not even ask for him to be seen? She would have asked for help weeks ago. Children boring with endless disasters. I wish the car crash had written them out.
-
Adam (@FIWCHAMP09) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ravi and Mark could work together to take them down, Why does Mark want to be involved in dealing? Need to meet their boss soon Vincent or Fatboy

Lloyd Preston (@Lloydp78) reported@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
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Lauren and Penny scenes have been great recently. I hope Lauren does end up buying the Car Lot. Jay should've never have sold it in the first place and that's something he would never do if he was still here. Can't wait for Lauren & Priya to work together. #EastEnders
-
Brodie Bruce (@eddie_corrigan) reported@PayReps26654 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer I’d say that’s an Amazon or internet issue not the BBC’s
-
Dcale (@dcale80) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Ben Mitchell bashing is in hyper drive. I guess this is petty retaliation for Max Bowden not wanting to return to this **** show. I'm so glad the rating r plummeting every day. Ben Wadey is the worst thing to happen to this show.

Moto Man (@KevCawley) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCiPlayer I commented on the first episode how dim they all are, out of curiosity I watched the 2nd episode FML Alan, you’ve certainly got your work cut out with this lot!
-
Kev Wrigley (@KevWrigley) reported@Woodarmyfc @I_amMukhtar @BBCiPlayer no mate, you're just being ridiculous. Not every person at the BBC is a scumbag **** apologist. But in taking that myopic attitude you've ended up making assumptions using the worst example, one of the key people in Savilles downfall. Stop being weird

Benny H (@BennyH391512) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system
-
Livefromwestbelfast (@Inwestbelfast) reported@StephenNolan @Frankshivers @BBCiPlayer Talking about the poor and disabled who have to beg and lower themselves to justify their need for help. Years of austerity and new stricter benefits to control fraud, and you want more. End tax avoidance and loop holes with a fair footing for everybody. Flat rate for all.

Will (@thenightswstch) reported@StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer Dermot just summed up the problem quite clearly there without even realising what he just done.

glasgowboyindc (@dcglasgowboy) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Kenny McLean? He has to have incriminating pictures, he’s awful

LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Who cares. Awful tedious storyline

Cats Rule (@TirnAOge) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Hmmmmmm, not sure how this will work. He is so full of himself and full of being "Welsh" (I have nothing against Welsh people in general). Shame as I always enjoyed this show
