-
Chloécrutch (@Chlocrutch1) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Band 5 ICU nurses fighting for years for band 6 pay - some with 20+ years experience - told there’s no money in the budget. Not saying MLA’s don’t deserve it but other professions are being left behind when it comes to recognition! & don’t get me started on our car parking issue!
-
Ed Mc Veigh (@EdVeigh36753) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer The tax avoiders are the worst 😫
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@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!
-
Pól Míchéal O'Slatraigh (@PSlatraigh) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I predict both will vomit when they realise what they've done, but Patrick did say to Oscar in the flashforward that he was with a Truman now, so unless he and Jasmine somehow manage to reconcile, maybe this pair manages to work it out?
-
The Men's Advisory Project (@MensAdvisoryP) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer This is why MAP or Women's Aid provide time & support whilst a victim thinks through their options. We support them with examining risk and making safety plans and work together to see how to leave safely. For so many, leaving or ending the relationship is the most dangerous time
-
Shaun Berry (@shauntberry) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne And straight away FB is focussed and seething about Jenricks comment. Terrible presenter of QT. He’s not even on!
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer No one likes Johnny and the actor is terrible. Axe him now.
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Please get rid of Johnny, the actor is terrible.
-
robbie does stuff (@robertbegg_art) reported@IKnoTheTruth2 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer ...that is generally the goal of adverts, yes. their success rate isn't really the issue OP is complaining about
-
Nigel Charles (@NTilley21717) reported@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I go to work
-
Paul Collins (@PaulCol01201464) reported@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.
-
Darkfirewolf (Blue Rappy) (@Evilcon27) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This whole storyline is just a joke. Probably ranks up there with the 9 worst storylines the show has ever done.
-
Collin G. Woodstreet (@LastLegsFC) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Acting work dried up?
-
Anthony Parry (@AnthonyParryUK) reportedSo @Google @BBCiPlayer please can you fix iPlayer on Google TV as it doesn't show anything in the continue watching rail of the home screen.. thanks 👍
-
Tom Parker (@oldschool454) reported@SamsungUK Please can you tell my why I keep getting error code 02100 when trying to play @BBCiPlayer on my Samsung TV? I have googled problem and done every suggested fix with no success. Please help!!
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Either way this is such a terrible twist for all involved and I wish that Penny/Vinny Gina/Harry can be happy without this totally unnecessary twist. This is going to create so much unwanted drama and tension for everyone involved.
-
Brodie Bruce (@eddie_corrigan) reported@PayReps26654 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer I’d say that’s an Amazon or internet issue not the BBC’s
-
Matthew Lewis (@RunnerBean07) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This show should have been cancelled years ago, the candidates this series are dreadful arguably the worst ever.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@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

Emily jones (@Emilyj251288) reported@BBCiPlayer @SamsungUK we are getting error code 2100 when trying to access iplayer.Can someone help please.Its been like this for a week.Ive tried the suggested fixes online.I called samsung help line and were put on hold for over an hour and the girl never came back to the call
-
Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported@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
-
Saor Alba (@lickle_monster) reported@ITVX fancy getting the Ireland v Scotland 6 nations match up on replay or something so folk can watch it that couldn’t see it live? Don’t have these issues with @BBCiPlayer when they show the matches. Just saying.
-
sam___888 (@sam___888) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer terrible coverage of the mens figure skating final so you missed showing the gold medal winners routine and then even cut short all their reactions to repeat the skeleton footage on BOTH channels! awful coverage. #WinterOlympics #skating
-
Orange Man (@DownOrangeMan) reported@StephenNolan @ClaireHanna @BBCiPlayer It’s the way she thinks the sdlp would improve it. Their minister in the last mandate was the worst and that’s quite an achievement. There is a reason they were voted out of something that is very hard to be voted out of.
-
Jonathan TUTOR (@therealslimsta) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer I would’ve liked the same characters from Detectorists but set in a different historical period like Blackadder. I’d like to see Small Prophets series two. Maybe Clia had to go work for Santa as she disappeared on Christmas Eve.
-
.. (@_lg_1972) reported@EnglandRugby @BBCiPlayer I think barring 1 or 2, this is the worst squad and management I've seen for many a year
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny is terrible 🤢 hurry up and axe him.
-
BrummieGirl (@takethe_highway) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Its soap. Actors leave, characters move on etc. But if you want this pair to work these guys and the writing are gonna have to work on selling it a lot better than is currently happening.
-
Enarial Perry (@EnarialP) reported@0MNIXXX @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer And they are optional - you click "skip" if you don't want to see it. Utter tripe from ppl with no other issues in their lives. Pathetic.
-
Gee_McK (@Gee_McK) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Stop mucking about with your website! Looks awful, why the white background????
