-
Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The show is on the verge of going all gangster again, which is why people turn off in the first place. Why would you want to undo all the hard work you've done to go backwards?
-
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
-
scottb (@scottb1103) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer best & worst day of all time following Scotland. Getting to Wembley was a “challenge”…saved by Dundee boys in a mini van!! Played really well first half & HT was brilliant. Guffs scored good goal but we would have won that game if pen goes in. McCoist should have taken it
-
daisy may (@DaisyM40397) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zoe and jasmine have been awful additions to the show
-
Joseph H Clarke (@clarkejoseph49) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer What was that poor attempt fire effect at the end of tonight’s episode? That CGI fire was absolutely terrible.
-
Ralph Snazzle (@BertSnazzle) reportedTime for let’s see how many hours it takes @BBCiPlayer to sign in tonight 🙄
-
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
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@antonydandrea1 @BBCiPlayer Took us numerous attempts to even log on then when we eventually got to the program it would only play a few seconds then start buffering. Pausing it for a couple of minutes seemed to do the trick. No problem with ITV.
-
Laura Phillips 💙 (@LauraPh222) reported@BBCiPlayer: The 1986 explosion at Chernobyl triggered a public health emergency across Europe. Forty years on from the disaster, @JordanDunbar10 travels to Chernobyl to examine the events that led to the world's worst nuclear accident and what we can learn from them today.

Nick Fletcher (@nicklesfletch) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why wasn't ravi sectioned earlier. He needs help. #eastenders

keira🪩 (@dontkeiraboutit) reported@BBCiPlayer we don’t want josh widdicombe fix it now
-
Lloyd Preston (@Lloydp78) reported@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
-
LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Who cares. Awful tedious storyline
-
Cat ❤️ saw xlov (@bubbleyoongz) reported@Pearson_Izabel @BBCiPlayer It's so annoying, the coverage has been terrible. Our skater is skating rn and I can't watch it!
-
donna rawlinson (@jamieshawn1623) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer link dont work goes to facebook
-
Steve Jones (@antoniosteve) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer BBC News wasn't the worst, by a long way. But they did contribute.
-
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.
-
Philip Colclough (@PhilColclough78) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems?
-
Ó Murchadha (@OMurchadha61) reported@Phantomthe55th @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer I don't wish to judge but, if you are a baptised Protestant who believes there are two Gods, you could be in serious trouble on judgement day. You are guilty of the serious sin of heresy. God bless.

Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Phil took a massive risk in calling in a favour for Mark which landed Mark in debt in the first place so I can't see Phil helping Mark again especially when he's got Lexi and Nigel to think about. Don't think Sharon would want to help Mark either if she knew.
-
Dave (@achetcase) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Turning off again now. Can not stand this stats and club history fanatic who just doesn’t commentate on the actual game. Worst football commentator I’ve ever heard.
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reportedAnyone else having problems with @BBCiPlayer? Constantly buffering so bad as to be unwatchable. No problem on other streaming channels so wouldn't appear to be our equipment or broadband.
-
Jay Wood (@ProudBritish38) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer bring back Jay.. I'm not saying what Jamie said wasn't stupid, cruel or straight up being a ****, however, he said 1 word, and then regretted saying it. Look at other actors and actresses that have done stuff throughout EastEnders history 1. Leslie [***** Den] killed a german taxi driver, whilst not recent nor whilst he portrayed Den the truth about Leslie would soon show. Leslie played the character of Den for years after that revelation. 2. Jessie [Kat slater] has assaulted Police officers. 3. Steve [Phil mitchell] alleged domestic issues. Whilst the show wouldn't feel the same without Kat or Phil, love them or hate them, Jay/Jamie did **** all wrong in comparison to these three.

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.
-
Liam (@Liam5xwr) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Time to axe Johnny (and Callum). Both actors are awful.
-
Nicky Hill (@nickyjanehill) reported@darrenjadams @anon_opin @BBCiPlayer Drives me mad!! I like auto play of the next episode of the thing I’m watching but I don’t want to watch Casualty or Waterloo Road. Ever. I delete from continue watching but next day they’re back. Terrible development team.
-
Dcale (@dcale80) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Ben Mitchell bashing is in hyper drive. I guess this is petty retaliation for Max Bowden not wanting to return to this **** show. I'm so glad the rating r plummeting every day. Ben Wadey is the worst thing to happen to this show.
-
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.
-
Colin Brown (@Colinbr87729419) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer The BBC has been terrible in recent months, it shares opinions and rumors rather than the facts, very disappointed.

doffcocker (@doffcocker) reported@BBCArchive @BBCiPlayer the phrase “eclectic collection” is doing a lot of work in that sentence and i need to know more
