  @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.

  @BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Worst episode in a long time.

  @o_charmian29763 @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Each to their own but I find her awful, totally unwatchable… those facial expressions. A terrible over-actor.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer How many extra people have moved to the UK since 2000? Answer that and you’ve answered the reason behind the housing problem!

  Martin Nisbet (@TartanLeotard) reported 22 minutes ago

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Possibly the worst incidental music ever written.

  Laura Phillips 💙 (@LauraPh222) reported 22 minutes ago

  @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.

  @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.

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

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne And straight away FB is focussed and seething about Jenricks comment. Terrible presenter of QT. He’s not even on!

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I wish Nicola took the opportunity to be honest with George - not just about her financial problems with the businesses but also about Eddie's money when she had a chance 😬 Now this will drive tensions between her and George and this isn't good for Ivy.

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer But says he will work with Sinn Fein as 'you have to move on'???

  @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

  Jamie Walters (@JamieWalt78) reported 41 minutes ago

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer I know it’s for a good cause but this was just terrible I don’t think I laughed once it was just painfully bad.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sukeve clip during ******* visibility week? IKTR!!! But come on now guys, we've done the "Suki doesn't communicate when she's stressed and trying to make everyone's problems go away" before and she learned from it, if we're not making a point of showing her growth and how she's adapted for the better on this adoption journey and it's just revisiting old habits with no reasoning or closure, it's giving inconsistent.

  @StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer The problem is in their own community.

  So @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 👍

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Total and utter failure by Scot Gov who have taken away every support and back up a teacher had. No wonder they’re leaving in their droves. And to not even try and fix it, it shows such a throw away attitude to professionals lives. It’s disgusting.

  @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

  @NordVPN I used to use you, but about a year ago your system stopped working with bbciplayer. Is this still an issue or did you fix it? I ask as my renewal is up again

  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Can I just say your commentators are ******* awful to listen to. So poor and biased

• 
  Richard Speight (@Pollos_Enanos) reported 56 minutes ago

  @scottspeig @BBCiPlayer It will be a rights issue. Sky+ (or other DVR) and then watch when you like as I did.

  @BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Kenny McLean? He has to have incriminating pictures, he’s awful

  @newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer The BBC has been terrible in recent months, it shares opinions and rumors rather than the facts, very disappointed.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why wasn't ravi sectioned earlier. He needs help. #eastenders

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer This was absolutely terrible. Nothing happened throughout, boring all the way too the end. Glad to see it finish! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The storylines are awful right now and the so called acting is even worse
