-
Only A (@AntonMcG) reported@StephenNolan @JonBurrowsMLA @BBCiPlayer It's the voting public he needs to worry about. He's turning up everywhere in the media to force his name down people's throats, which seems to be the way of the UUP. It doesn't work, it's been proven before to be an unreliable PR method. People get sick of it very quickly.

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.

glasgowboyindc (@dcglasgowboy) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Kenny McLean? He has to have incriminating pictures, he’s awful
-
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.
-
Bigwows 💚🤍💜 ✖️✖️🏴 (@bigwows) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer We all know the marriage isn't going to work out! What about Joel and Zack??
-
allan michael Mcmanus (@mcma90004) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Someone needs to stop her talking never had a real job and she is meant to help run a country who is she keeping happy to stay in a job she can’t even tell you how many families are waiting for a council house thick total thick
-
melaniebelle (@melaniebelle808) reported@bbceastenders @BBC @BBCiPlayer Denzel brought bad medicine into the house. Now Yolande must find an Obeah man to fix this. And she won't find one in yellow pages.
-
Adam (@FIWCHAMP09) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ravi and Mark could work together to take them down, Why does Mark want to be involved in dealing? Need to meet their boss soon Vincent or Fatboy
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedHey @BBCiPlayer . Still no joy with @SamsungUK ? It's over 48 hours now, and still no progress. I have discovered how useless the help functions on the TV are, but that doesn't shift the dial. Don't you have an AI support function yet to get this moving to resolution?
-
Welsh Women's Rugby🏴 (@waleswomenrugby) reported@BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer Please fix the stream 😭
-
chez_80 (@cheeky_chezza) reportedHas anyone watched 'Babies' on iplayer? I have found it a good watch, but the dumb laughing sound between the men and the black guy sounding like Brian Belo from BB years ago has been very distracting. Can't work out if it's deliberate, overacting, or natural 🤔 #bbc @BBCiPlayer
-
@TheMediaAvenger (@ThomasF24943789) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The worst thing they can do is serve RAW CHICKEN
-
Kylie Mulcare (@KylieMulcare) reported@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.
-
daisy may (@DaisyM40397) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zoe and jasmine have been awful additions to the show
-
donna rawlinson (@jamieshawn1623) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer link dont work goes to facebook
-
Gee_McK (@Gee_McK) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Stop mucking about with your website! Looks awful, why the white background????
-
Paula m (@PaulaRossi47) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer I don't watch @BBCMOTD any more it's awful
-
Lainey (@Laineygirl20) reported@StephenNolan @EoinTennyson @BBCiPlayer Alliance dress up crucial issues of womens rights & child safeguarding as culture wars. My rights aren't a culture war. Then they distract by 2 MLA's making cringe videos. You'd think they'd never been in Stormont to hear Tennyson whine. Take responsibility for this circus too.
-
Robert Bigg (@RobertBigg) reportedThe @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!!
-
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
-
TJW (@TraceyW83194634) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer God help this country really hope reform can save it
-
T (@T1999Mc) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer As a rule of thumb it’s probably best to not help the minister make his own point.
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedThe saga of @BBCiPlayer on our @SamsungUK TV continues. Not swift and somewhat unsure, Samsung; 96 hours outage and counting. I connected via DMs, gave personal and TV details, and asked about timescales. No answer? Is this a kind of limbo?
-
Kay Andrew 🇺🇦 (@JohnLizzieGirl) reported@BBCiPlayer your programme is broken, I clicked on Winter Olympics: Team Skating today in order to watch the Team Figure Skating competition and got Skiing, Snowboarding, Ice Hockey, Ski jumping and Curling. If I click on a thing that says Team Skating I expect to watch that! 😡
-
Liam (@Liam5xwr) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Time to axe Johnny (and Callum). Both actors are awful.
-
Villanmike (@villanmike73) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems! Moan about anything because you believe the BBC is an easy target. Honestly
-
🔺Paul🔻 (@paulnorwich) reportedI 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.
-
Janet Squires (@Poke_In_The_Eye) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I hate Wes Streeting - can’t help it he’s just to smarmy & insincere.
-
Jim James (@JimJamesHorgan) reported@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 🤢
