Joe Mcdonald (@JoeMcdonald1980) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews This might be the worst thing I have ever seen
-
Sarah (@SarahLahorn) reported@StevenWilc34988 @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Heritage? Priya is half Indian if you didn’t know that but anyway I agree. I don’t think she gonna say the kid is Ravi’s when it will be obvious it’s not. Same reason Vinny will get the shock of his life when ‘his baby’ comes out white. Idk why Penny thinks her lie will work
-
Nathan Jarvis (@MrNJ39) reported@BBCiPlayer @BBC Can you watch World Cup football in UHD on the iPlayer using fire tv. It works via the iPlayer app on my Samsung TV but not my 4K Fire TV device? Is it broken? A lot of people are saying the same in forums
-
. (@CathyHiya) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope you asked her about the video Laura where she shut down everyone by saying there was no issue with the funds
-
Peach pie (@C25802878) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Courtroom scenes were awful why is he not in the dock, he wouldn’t be standing next to his barrister, his solicitor is randomly at the back of the room addressing the Judge when he wouldn’t be allowed to as there’s a barrister.. definitely get a legal advisor to assist next time
-
Harumph 😾 (@lasagneinmyshoe) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He's literally in the flash forward so we know he's in it for 6 more months. The flash forward has sucked so much intrigue out of the show and left a sense of dread as we now know we are stuck with the abysmal twins until New year's as well. Terrible idea poorly executed
-
Ruby Singh 🇪🇺 💙💛 (@rubyksingh) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Therapy didn’t work obvs.
-
Noah Lott (@NoahLott72) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer **** off with this shite and **** the BBC. Who’d have thought it would be them who would platform this grifter to help her cause. I’m shocked I tell you. #defundtheBBC #dontpayyourtvlicence
-
Mistralol (@mistralol) reported@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.
-
Leon El ⚫️&⚪️ (@Leon88ElB) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The worst episode I've seen in years.
-
lee (@screensumup) reported@moviesinfocus Very fair! Watch The GOLD on bbciplayer. Better performance than Slow Horses (which is still good). He can do ruthless. As Bonds go, not the worst shout. Probably another decoy though.
-
FRAGSTAR (@Fragstar00) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer The problem with flash forward episodes is when you have the cliff hanger like this we all know he's not going to prison or anything like that because 6 months from now he's the best man at Max's wedding. I mean come on, write better.

Mel D (@MelJD46) reportedDear @bbcone @BBCiPlayer, not a problem with folk enjoying #worldcup, truly havent. It has been publicised for months, i dont think every page on the #iplayer needs to advertise it .... #justmythoughts
-
Chuck (@ChuckIOM) reported@BobFranklin3 @ttracesofficial @BBCiPlayer No one is “making” me do anything. I know a lot of followers love the IOM, old motorcycles and the TT races, it’s of interest to them. If it’s not for you, no issue, dont watch it😎🇮🇲
-
Catherine (@CatherineRose28) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I just watched it on Iplayer. It was probably the worst episode I have ever seen.
-
Trevor Gibbons (@trevorgi) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What a terrible idea. Real ‘cool’ uncle at a party vibe…
-
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
-
Shano (@radford2807) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Couldn’t help but spin it with their progressive crap
-
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
-
Iain From Argyll Scotland 🏴💙 (@BonnieScotland_) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I suspect that both these women work for British intelligence agencies.
-
christine watson (@christinew11474) reported@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.

McQ8 (@McQ8__) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCiPlayer Quality

Mick minas your host with the most (@MOVIESTVMAD) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer So do prison storylines work? Yes I think that ***** den in prison was sensational and having nick cotton there to was genius it seems there trying to repeat that vibe there just not talented enough to pull it off Adam is doing great but it isn't enough
-
Paul Buckley (@inspiredlanky) reported@bbctms @thehundred @BBCiPlayer Awful competition. Are the BBC that desperate for sports content that it ends up showing this?
-
Westie (@Wee_Westie29) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Thing is Gray will actually get with it as technically he’s not done anything wrong unless he’s planning an escape. It’s Sheila who’ll be in trouble as she’s the one whose actually taken Jordan #Eastenders
-
The Wise Woman (@seeressofkell) reported@BBCBargainHunt @BBCiPlayer It was horrific, just awful
-
vincent bamber (@vinnybamber) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That episode was terrible
-
Westie (@Wee_Westie29) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Jack giving Max some brotherly advice. Given Jack’s relationship history, he knows what he’s talking about and he’s right: Max needs to fix it as he’s got a lot to deal with . #Eastenders
-
@jeffprad 🏴☠️ (@jeffprad1) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What a terrible waste of electricity. How much did this consume?
-
Shannon 👩❤️💋👨💞 (@Shannon79053723) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Honestly, Ian has been a far better son to Kathy over the years than Ben ever was. Whatever Ian's faults, he's consistently been there for her. Ben turned out far more like Phil. A lot of his worst traits.
