  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Bea could drive that car straight through all the plot holes in this terrible story.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Another ludicrous change of character, from really nasty piece of work to sheepish wimp? Wouldn't happen. And next week, we're supposed to believe that a few school kids throwing beer over him and taking photos is worse for him that juvenile detention was.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer When you think this **** can't get any lower, well Bingo it can. I mean we know the Police are clowns in Soap-land, but if they can't work out what is tomato ketchup and blood. we really are screwed. & U expect people 2 pay for a TV licence, next year swing on it.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Nobody does any work there, it seems ! First they hang around Honey's house and then at the garden for a vigil.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer I can understand Eve wanting to get back at Nicola but what has George done to her. He'd be the one who'd be in trouble if it came out he let Eddie die not Nicola.

  The @BBCiPlayer does my nut in, why is it so slow and dimwhitted. Just work for once. Every time I try to use it with my mum at the care home, sod all for 30 mins. @ITVX works like a dream.

  Brett (@BrettOfTheSouth) reported 26 minutes ago

  Why is @ITVX always saying "there's something wrong with our connection" yet @BBCiPlayer and @Channel4 rarely have any issues...

  @BBCiPlayer U assume you don’t want you licence payers to use iplayer. I have watched it for years. Now it’s telling me to log in, log in. It’s not the correct password I create new password. Still cannot login The sooner the BBC loses its charter the better.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Absolutely terrible, bad acting, bit weird and unnecessary story 🙄

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Those awful story TikTok ads were less cringe than the Honey Bea segments on today’s ep

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why aren’t they at the Airport police station? Why is arrested Sheila arriving at the front entrance like that? The show is so poorly written these days and terrible continuity I may have to quit after 41 years.

  @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.

  @channel5_tv Dear Channel 5 I’m just discovering your wonderful collection of documentaries. I’m especially enjoying the history o Ed & the travel docs with Michael Palin & Alexander Armstrong….BUT…the streaming service is rubbish compared with BBCiPlayer or Netflix etc and keeps getting frozen. An error message comes up - try again later. But when I do same problem. It’s so frustrating. Any suggestions?!

  When are the @BBC gonna fix the buffering issues of @BBCiPlayer tv app? During the World Cup and Wimbledon too 🙄🫣😔

  @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 ?

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer The problem Andy doesn't get there is we don't want or will accept his or Labours policy because hes a Socalist and all he wants is to tax the hell out of anyone that works. So there won't ever be willing collaboration with his policy.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Reeks of den watts 2.0 So desperate to relieve the glory days forgetting all the actual character work that went into why max and Stacey worked

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I think they could have made more of how Kathy was pushing him to have one drink. I think a lot of people can relate to being pressured to just have ‘one’. Ultimately is Ian’s choice of course but peer pressure doesn’t help.
