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.

bodypolitic3 (@bodypolitic31) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I cannot fathom how these ghouls, determined to push this through despite all the problems, still think they’re the good guys. It’s evil.

Tyke on a bike (@MelvinJCain) reported@BBCiPlayer U assume you don’t want you licence payers to use iplayer. I have watched it for years. Now it’s telling me to log in, log in. It’s not the correct password I create new password. Still cannot login The sooner the BBC loses its charter the better.

Shannon 👩❤️💋👨💞 (@Shannon79053723) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Honestly, Ian has been a far better son to Kathy over the years than Ben ever was. Whatever Ian's faults, he's consistently been there for her. Ben turned out far more like Phil. A lot of his worst traits.

𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is an awful character already! Can't stand him

crazy cat lady (@sutty56) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s the worst cast member in years , get her off the programme . Awful
-
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.

Andy (@Andy63473458597) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer What a poor game, Ross County proving they are worst team in the division and Colin Steven proving he is worst ref in Scotland.
-
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.

🏴☠️Smithy🇮🇴 (@Smiffysmifston) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews This better be some kind of awful joke
-
Roy Thornton (@RThorn1) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Pity this is going. The people on just have not been the quality needed to watch. Alex is ok but some of the others have been poor.
-
Daniel (@Dannyceres) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You chickened out a bit there - no Hitler or Mussolini. Normally, you put on the worst right-wingers.
-
Alison Maitland (@alison_maitland) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s a narcissist boot. She’s played all her cult for fools for years. Nicola Sturgeon only cares about Nicola Sturgeon. She loved living the high life and now it’s came crashing down. Crocodile tears won’t work anymore.

Colleen Savannah (@colleensvannah) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer The UK is in trouble because people like you
-
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?
-
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.

Christian Edwards (@smile_out39443) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer This afternoon's commentators on Si Jiahui v Hossein Vafaei are awful. Snooker is an interesting game. This pair are better off on mute
-
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.
-
Sir Stick Your Kung Flu Passport Up Your Arse, KG (@NaahWoke) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I think the public are no longer accepting these graceless PR-coached attempts to rehabilitate people's careers. Schofield's didn't work. Huw Edwards' one isn't working. And now Sturgeon's is only going to raise people's hackles even further. Have a bit of dignity, Nicola, and just go off and live a quiet life.
-
Clive Wilson (@clive_wilson) reported@BBCiPlayer There are issues today with the iPlayer app no longer working on the Roku 3840 Streaming Stick, without warning. Other 3840 users are also affected. Is there a reason for this? Planned or unexpected?
-
Noah Lott (@NoahLott72) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer **** off with this shite and **** the BBC. Who’d have thought it would be them who would platform this grifter to help her cause. I’m shocked I tell you. #defundtheBBC #dontpayyourtvlicence

Gelasius Corbin (@crabshank) reportedThe worst thing about watching the World Cup on catch-up is how long it takes them to upload the matches @ITVX @BBCiPlayer
-
sæmunder99 (@SaeMunder99) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Can I just say your commentators are ******* awful to listen to. So poor and biased
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Boring boring boring. Unbelievable nonsense story. Why would Priya steal a car to take Ravi to hospital and then not even ask for him to be seen? She would have asked for help weeks ago. Children boring with endless disasters. I wish the car crash had written them out.
-
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?
-
Sir Brian of Ipswich (@brianofipswich) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Just finished. Not seeing the hype. Michael is throughly unlikable. No pride in his home, appearance or employment. Nihilistic and a compulsive liar. Emotionally stunted and a taker. He treats anyone that requires something of him with distain. Awful man.
-
Paul R (@SilentHitoshura) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Invading the pitch isn’t the issue, the retaliation from Huns was the issue. 100% of the blame like with the Ibrox club and they need to do better in the future
-
welcome to the Cool Zone🇵🇸 (@pabstblueskelly) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews really awful stuff, everyone involved should be embarrassed to have made this for the public

Sheila Hounslow (@kath46blue) reported@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Oh no Clive . I can’t stand tea . The smell makes me feel sick . I have to stand at arms length when making my husbands tea ! I haven’t had a cup since I was 5 years old . And when I left school and started work . They made me tea Girl . Making 15 cups at break time !
