s h a b s 🌷 🦚 (@sukeve_xo) reported@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.

Biohazardboy (@Biohazardboy2) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Never had this issue before we imported the third world.
-
Derek Bell (@derek2bell) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer A huge number of people on buying a newspaper turn straight to the back page. Sports news is news, the worst thing is how much is excluded. They should do a separate sports news programme - 15 minutes every night - covering all aspects of all sports

Luca (@MonthOfSundaes) reportedWatching #DearEngland and impressed again by what a stifling, awful handicap the British sports and news media is for anyone trying to make a difference. Top telly, this, tho'... #bbciplayer

Matt Bunnell (@mattbun) reported@Giantdaz72 @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer A lot of the attraction of the old stuff is listening to Coleman/Motson/Davies commentating down a crackly phone line. Those recently re-voiced commentaries are terrible.

Gothic Mercy 🖤💋🇬🇧💀🌹 (@DeniseFirman) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Terrible! Not funny and the female lead makes it unwatchable for me. Shame because I do love Timothy Spall. I got to episode 2 but had to give up. Bring back Jonathan Creek!!
-
Daz 💯 Make Tweeting Great Again 💙 (@Daz_Gizmo) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Tonight has to be the worst ever episode, both in the script and acting.
-
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.
-
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!

Laura Phillips 💙 (@LauraPh222) reported@BBCiPlayer: The 1986 explosion at Chernobyl triggered a public health emergency across Europe. Forty years on from the disaster, @JordanDunbar10 travels to Chernobyl to examine the events that led to the world's worst nuclear accident and what we can learn from them today.
