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.
-
Jonathan Attwood (@JonAttwood1) reportedHaving watched Winterwatch 1963: The Big Freeze on @BBCiPlayer it's interesting to note that the only one piece of infrastructure that continued to work throughout the freeze were @bt_uk #copper lines & it's these that #BT in their stupidity are ending #LandlinesAreLifelines

S☀apnut (@soapnut48) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ben Wadey has ruined this show, Michelle Ryan has been treated appallingly 🤬 Nobody can blame her for quitting, her stories and scripts are terrible. To axe the character permanently is just pure nasty and spiteful. Axe Wadey NOW.. the fans are angry 😤

Stevie83 (@stevie80con) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Lauren takes after her dad. Can’t help herself.

Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As long as it’s doesn’t include those twins and Oscar….bloody awful actors and storylines. They’ve ruined this soap for months.

AlisonAbraham (@AlisonA02620688) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer With some conditions there is no way to alleviate the horror & indignity. Palliative care can only do so much. Watching a loved one vomit up faeces is awful but nothing to the appalling experience by the patient. It should be the individual’s choice.

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.
