Idris (@idrisamihere) reported@bbcpress @boyz_allowed @BBCiPlayer It's an awful programme though lol
-
Mr P. (@BarryJane44) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer 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.

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
-
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.
-
Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer @bbceastenders made some errors. Why was Jack wearing a surgical mask and apron in one scene with Denise, and the following day he, Chelsea and Libby wore no mask? Surely, with Jordan in the hospital as well, they can transfer germs to each other.

Lou 🇯🇲 🫢🫳🏾 (@LouloAndStitch) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews This is terrible and you should feel bad. What a ******* waste of licensees money, a blight on the planet, and stain on the already worthless brand of QT and the BBC. A plague on both your houses
-
Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews So, in using the license fee for this ****, you’ve just opened yourself up to legal action from people who do not wish to have this drivel forcefed to us. Great work
-
carcosa (@staynoided808) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Awful, simply awful. This is the bottom of the barrel, BBC.
-
Brian Whelan (@brianwhelanhack) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews awful slop. but also, three of those guests would never have got onto a show like yours during their lifetimes
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@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.
-
John parent (@ParentJohn) reported@_SoccerScribe_ @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer Commentary is awful, agreed. They show a lot of games from 2022 WC especially the final. It’s better than nothing I guess.
-
Ralph (@Nasher1234589) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's the fading days of empire isnt it and their last marginalized group to kick and kill legally , the problem is them not us
-
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.
-
themostlysilent (@themostlysilent) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer But says he will work with Sinn Fein as 'you have to move on'???
-
Emily jones (@Emilyj251288) reported@BBCiPlayer @SamsungUK we are getting error code 2100 when trying to access iplayer.Can someone help please.Its been like this for a week.Ive tried the suggested fixes online.I called samsung help line and were put on hold for over an hour and the girl never came back to the call
-
Rkin (@RKin3333) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's not enough to "work on" a good death for all. Delivery is already long overdue. If the government is not committing to funding it now, it isn't going to be provided for those who need it now or 5 years hence or even 10 years hence.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As usual ,characters looking at a problem the wrong way. Penny worried about Gina having to move out while surely Vinny in his 30s with money etc should have his own place that they can move to ?
-
PC (@PGUK78) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The decor is so awful.
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@clive_wilson @BBCiPlayer Ours stopped working a couple of days ago. Just stalls on the BBC iPlayer logo. All the other channels are fine, just the one we have to bloody pay for doesn't work!
-
daisy may (@DaisyM40397) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zoe and jasmine have been awful additions to the show
-
Andrew (@Grokton) reported@dnmcg @BBCiPlayer Hi! Spotted a UI bug on Red Dwarf. 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!
-
Good Guy Barry (@Goodguybarry) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCiPlayer I've never quite understood why Scottish media have always fallen over themselves to laud Craig Gordon. Fantastic shot stopper but really terrible in most other basic aspects of goalkeeping
-
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
-
Andy P (@frjack) reported@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
-
Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Libby has been back for 5 minutes, and she has already brought trouble to Chelsea's door by convincing Chelsea to get involved with Grey's gran. Sheila is not going to tell Chelsea she's cut ties with her grandson, despite being in prison for murdering 3 people.
-
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.
-
Ranahabarana (@ranahabarana) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sorry but these two sound like teenagers fighting over some toy! I mean he is literally her dad & grandfather 👴 f her children and he wanted to make up with his kids! Seriously no thoughts to her mental issues & challenges!
-
konatona (@konatona1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer arsenal have problem
-
M (@MustBeMam) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Other parties should invite this woman to tell them what they can do to help. SNP need to be stopped. They are ruining our schools.
