@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Alfie’s in big trouble when Kat catches him. She already knows he’s lied to her about where he’s been and he’d better hope Kat hasn’t heard that drunken voicemail he left her. It’s gonna take more than souvenirs to make up for what Alfie’s been doing. #Eastenders

@NHSCFA @BBCiPlayer @MichAckerley Just seen the item on Disability climbing allowance. Misleading about Multiple sclerosis problems the benefits officer is a clever little pratt who has no idea of disability problems.

@newswatchbbc @BBCiPlayer A waste of ten minutes if you ask me. There’s literally no point in the show, except for those who have nothing other in their life but to moan about the most mundane issues.

@BBCiPlayer Half the shows don’t play and the other half end suddenly with 10 mins to go. Awful streaming service, awful everything infact. Not the beeb I remember at all, seems to of disappeared up its own backside.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I hate how Phil is treating Jay like this - making Jay feel guilty for contacting Julie when he only had good intentions and wanted Phil to get help. Phil wanting Nigel to live with him feels like an impulse response from Phil because he doesn't want to be alone. #EastEnders

Is there any way to feedback to the wonderful team at @BBCiPlayer to fix the default of when you click on an episode in a series and go to play it, the rest of the series list defaults back to the first series. Trying to rewatch New Tricks and always pushed back to S1 😭😭

Can’t watch England vs Wales on @ITVX because it’s useless and won’t let me watch live TV (I mean, seriously??) - so having to watch in Welsh on @BBCiPlayer because, well, it actually works. Serious question - why can’t @ITVX just work properly? It’s embarrassing.

@BraxM @BBCiPlayer @RadioTimes Probably my first memory of watching TV, although I liked The Woodentops more, thought they were more real, like they were just different versions of real grown up people, and thought I would grow and go and work on their farm.

@AthleticsWeekly @BBCiPlayer Athletics commentary is good, but there are problems with the coverage. It is sometimes impossible to find on the red button. And last week the first 20 minutes was missing.

@BBC just thought I’d let you know I’ve tried to watch the Djokovic game on iplayer and it is not working at all. Very disappointing, gets about ten minutes in and just freezes up and starts again won’t play anything. Really wanted to watch too 🙃 gives error code @BBCiPlayer

@Wasntwouldnt @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Ah. Really enjoying it but know I’m going to be stuck in the middle of nowhere in a tent for the men’s final (which I live for, usually), so commitment issues abound.
