  @PaulaRossi47 @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer I will trade with you Paula…. You can take my 24/7 pain, my inability to walk, my fatigue and my other issues all whilst working about 50 hours a week and living on about 3hrs sleep a night. Be no problem for you will it??

  @PayReps26654 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer I’d say that’s an Amazon or internet issue not the BBC’s

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That gym moment of watching a terrible actor trying to look smart felt like eastenders hitting new depths but then came the break in scene 😣 Go to any amateur group & you'll find way better actors. Even when he has good lines he just wastes them 🤢

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

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne And straight away FB is focussed and seething about Jenricks comment. Terrible presenter of QT. He’s not even on!

  @StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer Buskers don’t bother me as some of them are very good to listen too. It’s the preachers I have a problem with. It has got way out of hand and I agree something needs to be done. Cant turn a corner without someone shouting about Jesus down a mic or forcing leaflets in your hand.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Lauren is beautiful but a terrible actor, she either shouts or mumbles most of the time. And of course she has another disaster this week, she's always doomed!

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Loads??? No it's about 10 people. Distraction bs as usual. This issue is simply not affecting the majority of us. Your childish antics and your same callers day in day out! Norman & Brian 🙄 impossible to listen to for anyone with a bit of common sense

  @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

  I have one account on my iPlayer. Why it insists I choose an account every time I use it I don’t know. There also needs to be a way that I can link my TV Licence to my account so I don’t have to confirm all the damn time that I have one. I love @BBCiPlayer but it needs work.

  @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

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer You can’t be intimidated by a flag. You can choose to be offended but that applies to anything. I could choose to be offended by terrible architecture. Doesn’t make it illegal and should be bulldozed

  The @BBC tvos @BBCiPlayer app won’t allow a login (even after reinstalling) but allows you to continue as a guest. Fine but excpet for live TV everything appears to be age restricted even on CBBC!!

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Alfie leaving to visit Spencer. Hopefully he brings him back with him. As for Jake, he can’t keep hiding what he did to Danny forever. Also it looks like Jake maybe getting cold feet about Chrissie. But he wants to fix things #Eastenders

  Kylie Mulcare (@KylieMulcare) reported 53 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Elaine is being constantly written as a vile human, in the name of “comedy”. Her delivery and sarcasm worked when she was behind the bar of the Vic. Now she simply comes across like she doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. Writers Room, do better.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer No one likes Johnny and the actor is terrible. Axe him now.
