  Alistair Lennox (@AlistairLennox) reported 9 minutes ago

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer How many extra people have moved to the UK since 2000? Answer that and you’ve answered the reason behind the housing problem!

  Glenn Holland🐵 (@GHmonkeyboy) reported 10 minutes ago

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer This was absolutely terrible. Nothing happened throughout, boring all the way too the end. Glad to see it finish! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

• 
  Jools (@JoolsJuevans) reported 10 minutes ago

  @newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer Yes the whole thing has been unedifying to watch. But the Labour MPs cheering it on are worst than the journalists. Both complicit. It’s not the X Factor.

  @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

  @newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer The BBC has been terrible in recent months, it shares opinions and rumors rather than the facts, very disappointed.

  @clive_wilson @BBCiPlayer Ours stopped working a couple of days ago. Just stalls on the BBC iPlayer logo. All the other channels are fine, just the one we have to bloody pay for doesn't work!

  @ls_1983 @BBCiPlayer I was flicking between football and Olympics last night. The commentary on tnt was awful.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sukeve clip during ******* visibility week? IKTR!!! But come on now guys, we've done the "Suki doesn't communicate when she's stressed and trying to make everyone's problems go away" before and she learned from it, if we're not making a point of showing her growth and how she's adapted for the better on this adoption journey and it's just revisiting old habits with no reasoning or closure, it's giving inconsistent.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is an awful character already! Can't stand him

• 
  Sir Brian of Ipswich (@brianofipswich) reported 29 minutes ago

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Just finished. Not seeing the hype. Michael is throughly unlikable. No pride in his home, appearance or employment. Nihilistic and a compulsive liar. Emotionally stunted and a taker. He treats anyone that requires something of him with distain. Awful man.

  @BBCiPlayer never saw 2012 and I really missed out didn’t I? Thanks for putting it on along with W1A before 2026. Quality.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sorry but these two sound like teenagers fighting over some toy! I mean he is literally her dad & grandfather 👴 f her children and he wanted to make up with his kids! Seriously no thoughts to her mental issues & challenges!

  Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported 31 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The show is on the verge of going all gangster again, which is why people turn off in the first place. Why would you want to undo all the hard work you've done to go backwards?

  Janet Squires (@Poke_In_The_Eye) reported 33 minutes ago

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I hate Wes Streeting - can’t help it he’s just to smarmy & insincere.

• 
  Andy (@Andy63473458597) reported 34 minutes ago

  @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.

  @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.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders

  The saga of @BBCiPlayer on our @SamsungUK TV continues. Not swift and somewhat unsure, Samsung; 96 hours outage and counting. I connected via DMs, gave personal and TV details, and asked about timescales. No answer? Is this a kind of limbo?

  @CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I go to work

  @Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Was going to say they spelt it phonetically but that doesn’t work either

  @lovelaw2 @TheMaineWonk @BBCiPlayer I'm sorry. Does a vpn work?

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The decor is so awful.

  @BBCSport @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Quite possibly the worst game I've seen this season. 😴💤

  Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported 53 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Priya is a big part of his problems because she is enabling him, always playing down his bad behaviour etc. as just now. Neither of them seem to get that actions have consequences.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny’s actor is awful.

  @BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Can't help yourselves. pundits either current or ex Sevco. Every week.

  Paul Collins (@PaulCol01201464) reported 57 minutes ago

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Nandy tries in vain to defend the indefensible as Labour kills hospitality. Employers' national insurance rises hit pay and jobs. The government offers no help to increase wages. Yet Reeves says no to levelling capital gains tax with income tax and launching a wealth levy.

  @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
