  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer What was that poor attempt fire effect at the end of tonight’s episode? That CGI fire was absolutely terrible.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer I can understand Eve wanting to get back at Nicola but what has George done to her. He'd be the one who'd be in trouble if it came out he let Eddie die not Nicola.

  Caught episode 1 of The Hairdresser Mysteries on @BBCiPlayer. Yikes. A daytime drama so banally terrible that even AI would call it slop.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I don't feel the urge to listen to a pattern matchers idea of some of the worst people to live.

  @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.

  @BeanuiUait @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Glad she’s naked in a trunk. What the hell is her problem. Trying to prove her superiority over Cindy? It’s really disgusting and viewers don’t think it’s cool or funny. Just pathetic ugliness

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee

  @ImSheWhoRemains @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful character. He has that sort of sneering face you want to punch

  Alison Maitland (@alison_maitland) reported 22 minutes ago

  @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s a narcissist boot. She’s played all her cult for fools for years. Nicola Sturgeon only cares about Nicola Sturgeon. She loved living the high life and now it’s came crashing down. Crocodile tears won’t work anymore.

  @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope you asked her about the video Laura where she shut down everyone by saying there was no issue with the funds

  Martin Nisbet (@TartanLeotard) reported 24 minutes ago

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Possibly the worst incidental music ever written.

  @BBCiPlayer Why are the Doctor who episodes going from the episode you started from then fine in the middle then go back to the start of that first one, fix it please

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Honestly, Ian has been a far better son to Kathy over the years than Ben ever was. Whatever Ian's faults, he's consistently been there for her. Ben turned out far more like Phil. A lot of his worst traits.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer @bbceastenders is now confirmed Ben Wadley caused a big problem for Michelle Ryan and gave her an ultimatum.

  @BBCCasualty @BBCiPlayer This has been the worst box set - Dylan's the only thing saving it

  Having watched Winterwatch 1963: The Big Freeze on @BBCiPlayer it's interesting to note that the only one piece of infrastructure that continued to work throughout the freeze were @bt_uk #copper lines & it's these that #BT in their stupidity are ending #LandlinesAreLifelines

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Lauren takes after her dad. Can’t help herself.

  KDUK (@KD_UK1) reported 35 minutes ago

  @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

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope they bump Mark off. He's a terrible character.

  @thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer With some conditions there is no way to alleviate the horror & indignity. Palliative care can only do so much. Watching a loved one vomit up faeces is awful but nothing to the appalling experience by the patient. It should be the individual’s choice.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer So now Denise has told Jack quickly but there's still a problem of course. I expect she won't want chemo treatment but will go for it eventually.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews really awful stuff, everyone involved should be embarrassed to have made this for the public

  @BBCiPlayer you need to fix your app, it’s so bad!!! Buffering, very poor picture quality!!!

  @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 ?

  @BBCiPlayer why is the England v DR Congo stream delayed by over 30 seconds compared to watching it on the TV? This is a terrible service being this far behind! Tax payers money up the khazi 🤬
