Benny H (@BennyH391512) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system

Paul Duerinckx (@drinckx) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Terrible, though they all Looked more realistic than Fiona Bruce.

Mistralol (@mistralol) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer When leaders do not listen to the public or resolve a forever list of increasing issues, yes people are going to reject the goverment.

Steve Jones (@antoniosteve) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer BBC News wasn't the worst, by a long way. But they did contribute.

iggyboy63 (@DavidSh99798518) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Thought it terrible tbh..safe,middle class viewing

Jay Wood (@ProudBritish38) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer bring back Jay.. I'm not saying what Jamie said wasn't stupid, cruel or straight up being a ****, however, he said 1 word, and then regretted saying it. Look at other actors and actresses that have done stuff throughout EastEnders history 1. Leslie [***** Den] killed a german taxi driver, whilst not recent nor whilst he portrayed Den the truth about Leslie would soon show. Leslie played the character of Den for years after that revelation. 2. Jessie [Kat slater] has assaulted Police officers. 3. Steve [Phil mitchell] alleged domestic issues. Whilst the show wouldn't feel the same without Kat or Phil, love them or hate them, Jay/Jamie did **** all wrong in comparison to these three.

Ann Hacke 🕷🌱🇪🇺 #FBPA 🌻🇺🇦 (@AnnHacke) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zzzzzz. Awful characters. Can they buzz off now Sharon and son are back please. Surprised Vicki isn’t wearing her black tights under her wedding dress.
-
Anthony Parry (@AnthonyParryUK) reportedSo @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 👍
-
Jonathan TUTOR (@therealslimsta) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer I would’ve liked the same characters from Detectorists but set in a different historical period like Blackadder. I’d like to see Small Prophets series two. Maybe Clia had to go work for Santa as she disappeared on Christmas Eve.
-
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

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 !
-
Frances Maxwell (@Frances00494672) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope they bump Mark off. He's a terrible character.
-
Ó Murchadha (@OMurchadha61) reported@Phantomthe55th @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer I don't wish to judge but, if you are a baptised Protestant who believes there are two Gods, you could be in serious trouble on judgement day. You are guilty of the serious sin of heresy. God bless.
-
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.
-
Joseph H Clarke (@clarkejoseph49) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer What was that poor attempt fire effect at the end of tonight’s episode? That CGI fire was absolutely terrible.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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?
-
CharlesWynfordLodge (@2hrTV) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews And you thinking this is cool, or amusing, or appropriate is part of the problem. It's bloody dreadful.
-
sæmunder99 (@SaeMunder99) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Can I just say your commentators are ******* awful to listen to. So poor and biased
-
Sir Webblyingworth Brian Squirrelingtonshire 🐿 (@WebSquirrel) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer “Her version of events” I think that’s the problem to begin with, well at least she’s consistent 🤭
-
Matt Bunnell (@mattbun) reported@Giantdaz72 @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer A lot of the attraction of the old stuff is listening to Coleman/Motson/Davies commentating down a crackly phone line. Those recently re-voiced commentaries are terrible.
-
Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful storyline and writing = awful acting from everyone involved.
-
crazy cat lady (@sutty56) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s the worst cast member in years , get her off the programme . Awful
-
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.
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedApproaching 24 hours outage, now, @BBCiPlayer , with a @SamsungUK TV that won't load beyond the BBC menu system. This is rendering the BBC licence fee we pay subject to challenge on a non delivery of service basis. It seems Samsung are pivoting to a pay for upgrade model? 🤮.
-
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
-
Ranahabarana (@ranahabarana) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer What is that awful outfit Denise is wearing, those trousers 😱 Silly Lauren. I don’t know why George is in a huff about the money, he deserves to have after all that **** with Eddie & yes what kind of business man is he not checking his restaurant’ account???
