-

Sir Webblyingworth Brian Squirrelingtonshire 🐿 (@WebSquirrel) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer “Her version of events” I think that’s the problem to begin with, well at least she’s consistent 🤭
-
Jay (@PootJM) reported@ekaurpokhran @RoyalFamily @BBCiPlayer Low tier bait. You have many worse problems. At least sort the litter out. Anyway, I'm not spending my Friday evening arguing with someone in India, have a good day. HBD to Sir David.

🏴☠️Smithy🇮🇴 (@Smiffysmifston) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews This better be some kind of awful joke
-
Lou 🇯🇲 🫢🫳🏾 (@LouloAndStitch) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews This is terrible and you should feel bad. What a ******* waste of licensees money, a blight on the planet, and stain on the already worthless brand of QT and the BBC. A plague on both your houses
-
Mistralol (@mistralol) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer The problem Andy doesn't get there is we don't want or will accept his or Labours policy because hes a Socalist and all he wants is to tax the hell out of anyone that works. So there won't ever be willing collaboration with his policy.
-
Bernadette Shaw (@bernadette67_a) reported@shellthestig @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer So is Oscar….definitely signs with him. Jean has behavioural issues in addition to bipolar. And Bert & Ernie act strangely but they might just be terribly bad actors! Not sure this is necessarily miles off for a Square of people.
-
Lee Millard (@onein300) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer We just need it regulated and the awful status quo rectified.
-
Ranahabarana (@ranahabarana) reported@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!
-
Martin Nisbet (@TartanLeotard) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Possibly the worst incidental music ever written.
-
TV Fan (@BbukSave) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I wish Nicola took the opportunity to be honest with George - not just about her financial problems with the businesses but also about Eddie's money when she had a chance 😬 Now this will drive tensions between her and George and this isn't good for Ivy.

jj 🐦 (@julie_twickers) reportedWhat has Sheridan smith don’t to her face? It’s awful #theCage @BBCiPlayer
-
FilmChampion (@PanopticalDream) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You should fire all the people who made and signed off on this and they should never work in the industry again.

Andrew (@Grokton) reported@BBCiPlayer Hi! UI bug on the Red Dwarf boxset. The page says "Available until Sat", but clicking the "?" help icon next to it just gives an "Oops, something went wrong" error page. Just flagging the broken link/incorrect countdown for your tech team.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I'll be curious to discover how Suki and Vinny will react when they discover Ravi's attack against Nugget. Would Suki keep her promise to Priya and get Ravi the help he needs? She'll feel guilty for throwing him out but doesn't want to jepodise the adoption.

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!!
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Nicola took a massive risk going behind George's back like that to see Eddie when if he wants to see him that's her decision. As parents to Ivy - George and Nicola have built that strong level of trust and now it's broken between them. #EastEnders (1/2)

AzBalofski (@AzzerBall1968) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Commentary is bloody awful. Muted it
-
Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer @bbceastenders made some errors. Why was Jack wearing a surgical mask and apron in one scene with Denise, and the following day he, Chelsea and Libby wore no mask? Surely, with Jordan in the hospital as well, they can transfer germs to each other.
