Kate Martinson 💙 (@Kate_Martinson) reported@lovelaw2 @TheMaineWonk @BBCiPlayer I'm sorry. Does a vpn work?
-
Andy (@Andy63473458597) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer What a poor game, Ross County proving they are worst team in the division and Colin Steven proving he is worst ref in Scotland.
-
The View From Belfast ⚖️ (@CallumTheReds) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer If either a union flag or a tricolour flag is flying in a community that supports those flags - why is that a problem?
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Bad idea ,she's been away much too long. Just like Zoe, it won't work.
-
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.

Shuahae⛸️ (@Mingoobies) reported@BBCiPlayer get somebody to fix the stream please. I'm trying to watch the figure skating team event and it's showing all sorts of random other sports
-
Villanmike (@villanmike73) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems! Moan about anything because you believe the BBC is an easy target. Honestly
-
SnoopDoge (@jackdoor2681151) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Who gives a fig, why is the final episode of the welsh open missing? Seriously, please fix this!
-
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.

Caner 🇬🇧 (@canerazz) reported@adamhale_ @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer Luckily I don't have to deal with this kinda problems when using xevatv
-
Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful storyline and writing = awful acting from everyone involved.
-
𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That Josh is just terrible, cant act and I just can't stand him.
-
Whyamidoingthis. (@46Ruthie) reported@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Grr, Overpopulation is causing parking problems. If the government didn’t allow so many people to move here it wouldn’t be as bad! Typical that We are told to cycle, walk or bus because of immigration.
-
Gee_McK (@Gee_McK) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Stop mucking about with your website! Looks awful, why the white background????
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Please get rid of Johnny, the actor is terrible.
-
Kim Frinton (@drowsyfire) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Oh lord, help us. Smug, sanctimonious wokery incoming.
-
Ranahabarana (@ranahabarana) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sorry but these two sound like teenagers fighting over some toy! I mean he is literally her dad & grandfather 👴 f her children and he wanted to make up with his kids! Seriously no thoughts to her mental issues & challenges!
-
Orange Man (@DownOrangeMan) reported@StephenNolan @ClaireHanna @BBCiPlayer It’s the way she thinks the sdlp would improve it. Their minister in the last mandate was the worst and that’s quite an achievement. There is a reason they were voted out of something that is very hard to be voted out of.
-
Jo (@cfs_jo) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Worst episode in a long time.
-
daisy may (@DaisyM40397) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zoe and jasmine have been awful additions to the show
-
jeno (@JAC2725) reported@BBCiPlayer deciding to show 2/3 of an ice hockey game and show the last third a hour after it’s played. AWFUL BROADCASTING.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I'll be curious to discover how Suki and Vinny will react when they discover Ravi's attack against Nugget. Would Suki keep her promise to Priya and get Ravi the help he needs? She'll feel guilty for throwing him out but doesn't want to jepodise the adoption.
-
Jonny Payne (@jonnypayne23) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer You can’t be intimidated by a flag. You can choose to be offended but that applies to anything. I could choose to be offended by terrible architecture. Doesn’t make it illegal and should be bulldozed
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@antonydandrea1 @BBCiPlayer Took us numerous attempts to even log on then when we eventually got to the program it would only play a few seconds then start buffering. Pausing it for a couple of minutes seemed to do the trick. No problem with ITV.
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny is terrible 🤢 hurry up and axe him.
-
Janet Squires (@Poke_In_The_Eye) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I hate Wes Streeting - can’t help it he’s just to smarmy & insincere.
-
alabama 🇵🇸 (@alabamarust) reported@BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds Why don’t Wales nationalise the WRU? I can’t see any other way to fix this mess created by stakeholders
-
melaniebelle (@melaniebelle808) reported@bbceastenders @BBC @BBCiPlayer Denzel brought bad medicine into the house. Now Yolande must find an Obeah man to fix this. And she won't find one in yellow pages.
-
Only A (@AntonMcG) reported@StephenNolan @JonBurrowsMLA @BBCiPlayer It's the voting public he needs to worry about. He's turning up everywhere in the media to force his name down people's throats, which seems to be the way of the UUP. It doesn't work, it's been proven before to be an unreliable PR method. People get sick of it very quickly.
