    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Also, Kat must have a short memory. It wasn't that long ago when Freddie was begging for Kats' help when Stacey was in mourning and Jean buggered off on holiday with Mo. How did she think they were surviving then? 2/2.

  • 0MNIXXX 🤷🏻‍♂️ (@0MNIXXX) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer For everyone asking or confused. Basically these awful writers played a double bluff that made absolutely no sense at all. They now need to some how explain why Jasmine latched on to Cindy/Oscar & why she broke into the doctors. But im pretty confident that they wont.

  • mbpix_8 Morag Braithwaite 🇺🇦 (@mbpix_8) reported

    @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Unfortunately tonight’s programme had a misleading title. “Where’s my parcel?”, so we thought this was just about problems with deliveries. Far from it. The majority was about how much drivers get paid!! Maybe you should do another about where parcels are ending up?’ #Evri

  • DavisFerretd Philip Davis (@DavisFerretd) reported

    @BBCSport @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer After seeing so much how problems with a cue affects players, could Hazel ask them if they've got them insured for and for how much.

  • DrBrianTobin Brian Tobin (@DrBrianTobin) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer In less than a year this show has become Christmas must-miss TV. It's been awful these past 6 months.

  • magnetron21 MG (@magnetron21) reported

    @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne This program was absolutely brilliant. The issues raised concerning the treatment of couriers by EVRi, and the obvious impact on the service to customers, came across very clearly. Liam Byrne is right regarding an investigation.

  • SimonNo7 SimonNo20 (@SimonNo7) reported

    @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Absolutely but then working people are fleeced everywhere, football, food, energy, water, transport (trains especially) everything because big business is allowed to do whatever it wants & regulators & most MP’s (Tories, Blue Labour, definitely Reform) work for them instead of us

  • RyanSoapKing25 Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Jean would find easier ways to target Zoe if it was her and besides she's not capable even when she's having a manic episode. Kat needs to start getting Zoe some professional help - it's obviously Sam who is targeting her.

  • andrewvarley andrew varley (@andrewvarley) reported

    @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Appaling company, parcels thrown in the bushes, under a gate, which was stolen or taken by driver after photographing it. Yodel just as bad. Never had an issue with Royal Mail.

  • abdi9084 Abdi (@abdi9084) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I’m sorry Zoe has been awful since she’s joined gcse acting

  • PlumtreePruner Te Indigenous Whitey ❤️🇺🇸🇳🇿 (@PlumtreePruner) reported

    @OpinionistNZ @TheGNShow @BBCiPlayer I suggest both he and she were paid for the promotional work for her entry as UNSG

  • ThePetorianEra Jesus Watts (@ThePetorianEra) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Awful show rn

  • Nikki85702854 Nikki (@Nikki85702854) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer AWFUL DECISION He has been brilliant since he joined, why would you fire him?! C'mon Eastenders - sort it aaaaat!

  • YingHuiThe1 Ying-Hui The (@YingHuiThe1) reported

    @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne why cant we get the government to use the Unemployed to fix all the pot holes ?

  • Kay8807 Kirsty Lightfoot (@Kay8807) reported

    @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Terrible reporting on this programme...didn't uncover anything the public didn't already think/know. One of the worst reports seen so far.

  • EastSons put the kettle on, shall i? (@EastSons) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This looks awful

  • yltchickencurry แอนดี (@yltchickencurry) reported

    @BBCRadioScot @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Middle class Scottish establishment comedy is ******* awful.

  • lufcollie_ lufcollie 🦚 (@lufcollie_) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer that looks awful 😭😭 nobody cares for this story anymore

  • StevenWilc34988 Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer How is Kat buying Lily's excuse. Don't Tommy and Lily go to the same school, and parents get bombarded with those sort messages to help out. 1/2.

  • SlydonL Slydon Lungu (@SlydonL) reported

    @BBCiPlayer #TheWarBetweenTheLandandtheSea needs to be taken off air because it’s like watching a bad anime dub from the 90’s - the sound is awful

  • AwesomeBlossomz Lisa 🐙 (@AwesomeBlossomz) reported

    @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Luckly my regular Evri guy is great, it's Amazon, Yodel, DHL and the Evri guy who takes over when the regular one is off that I have problems with.

  • TeeDee49372965 TDA (@TeeDee49372965) reported

    @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Surely if a company repairs a pothole, there will be a guarantee with it. Plus, why isn't plastic used in tarmac as that has been proved to help prevent potholes?

  • KaydenSB95 Kayden♿️🦓🌈🇵🇸 (@KaydenSB95) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Just wondering, have the writers started to use AI to write their scripts, it’s the only excuse I can think of as to how the writing has been so abysmal since Wadey took over and tanked the quality of the show.. 🤨

  • Poke_In_The_Eye Janet Squires (@Poke_In_The_Eye) reported

    @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Daisy Daisy- just awful. For one thing she has verbal diarrhoea

    Is it just me or does BBCIPLAYER have an issue with a fishbowl look to it?

  • RyanSoapKing25 Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported

    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Not Sam trying to steal money off Phil when she's already £30k + in debt to Phil after she blackmailed him over his one night stand with Lola's mum Emma. But why does Sam need more money off Phil? And what trouble has she got herself involved in this time? 🤔 #EastEnders

  • RageStumpy Limpy Joe (@RageStumpy) reported

    @BBCSport @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer If your having trouble sleeping.. watch this crap

  • BasisInstinct Rob T (@BasisInstinct) reported

    @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Panorama reveals: fixing the symptoms instead of the root cause doesn’t fix the root cause. #PotholeBritain shocker.

    @MatthewMarks42 @BBCiPlayer Interesting take! Not really 'car brained' to note that 2/3 of UK commuting is by car. ie. the message about "travelling to work" and watching TV doesn't work for the vast majority of those receiving it.
