Jamie_d (@jamied28) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer If the fans didn’t enter the pitch there’s no trouble simple as that. As usual one team is playing the victim card
-
Paul Collins (@PaulCol01201464) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Nandy tries in vain to defend the indefensible as Labour kills hospitality. Employers' national insurance rises hit pay and jobs. The government offers no help to increase wages. Yet Reeves says no to levelling capital gains tax with income tax and launching a wealth levy.
-
Alastair Raymond (@RaymondAlastair) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Loved this programme when it first started I was invited but had commitments,Standard of contestants has bottomed out-all terrible
-
lisa 🥀 • ben mitchell loml (@benapologist) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer callum and johnny are abysmal together and this tim storyline which deals with a serious issue deserved actual build-up and care. whoever came up with this storyline needs to be fired asap
-
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
-
Mik Lote (@Mc_Lote) reported@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Pavement parking is an issue. Local government needs to review pavements not just concentrate on fining motorists who are trying to keep carriageways clear. Pavements vary in width across all authorities without rhyme or reason. A metre could be taken off many pavements.
-
Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful storyline and writing = awful acting from everyone involved.
-
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.
-
Terry Finn QPM (@Zibatsu) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer Small Prophets is not a patch on Detectorists. I seem to be in the minority. Really can’t get behind the hype of SP. Detectorists however, pure quality.
-
GrahamDee (@GrahamDee1968) reported@kt98765 @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Fara Williams is awful / unlistenable !! 😠
-
RobboF1971 (@RobFunnell) reported@BBCSportWales @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is a problem this guy! Not looking forward to Saturday 😔
-
Jo (@cfs_jo) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Worst episode in a long time.
-
Les Bien (@BertSnazzle) reportedWhat’s going on with @BBCiPlayer app? It’s complete garbage…takes about 5 minutes to sign in 😠😠
-
wbd (@chazul11) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer What we’re dealing with is a woke academic who is again using this falsehood toxic masculinity! These are yobs and the problem is ultras and the entitlement of Celtic football club who due to victimhood believe they can do what they want and the issue is the reaction only
-
Alex Barrett ☘️🇮🇪 (@albarr1978) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The storylines are awful right now and the so called acting is even worse
-
LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Who cares. Awful tedious storyline
-
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.
-
Ian Smedley (@smeg9) reportedAlways know when @BBCNews is about to switch to local news even on @BBCiPlayer because the quality absolutely tanks. I understood why it might on satellite, but on iPlayer??
-
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
-
SnoopDoge (@jackdoor2681151) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Who gives a fig, why is the final episode of the welsh open missing? Seriously, please fix this!
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders
-
Arty Bow (@arty_bow) reported@BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer …then we get 10 minutes of him lecturing us like we’re teenagers because we can’t work it out for ourselves. BBC documentaries used to be superb. Even the average ones were twice as good as this.
-
Moto Man (@KevCawley) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCiPlayer I commented on the first episode how dim they all are, out of curiosity I watched the 2nd episode FML Alan, you’ve certainly got your work cut out with this lot!
-
Ciaran Carson (@carsey10) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer Fs there are two small housing estates near me that are built for people with disabilities so what would be the problem if the majority of cars were mobility in some streets
-
Champions 67 (@MCeltmick) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Can't help yourselves. pundits either current or ex Sevco. Every week.
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Please get rid of Johnny, the actor is terrible.
-
𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is an awful character already! Can't stand him
-
Ronan Kelly (@RonanGKelly) reported@bbcnipress @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer I have no problem with this new series being promoted. However, it is grossly unfair that most independent productions don’t get the same level of promotion either online or on-air. So why they don’t speak out? Well, it’s probably because they fear the consequences of doing so.
-
Ogbeni D (@adeduntan) reported@ifeelflames It’s even worse in Ireland where the @BBCiPlayer doesn’t work This means you can’t record or pause @deathinparadise
