    @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer One of the most disrespectful thing to do, is to wear a Hat indoors, and there are 2 at this party. The one who works in the " 3 stall market ", must Stink as he never takes his off and is so terrible on the show. Absolutely disgusting.

    @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews really awful stuff, everyone involved should be embarrassed to have made this for the public

    @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer What an awful character Darnell is. Only thinking about the inconvenience of being in a hospital he doesn't like instead of trying to save Denise's life. He should have taken that swab test in the beginning without questions. Making it all about him. Horrible man.

    @ITVX can you get the dev team to sort out your streaming quality. It makes your service look terrible especially for the @FIFAWorldCup @BBCiPlayer are years ahead of you in quality.

    @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???

    @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I don't feel the urge to listen to a pattern matchers idea of some of the worst people to live.

    @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Obsessed with Eve protecting her family. This feud is iconic but I'm so confused with what Nicolas problem is. What a doof door

    @bbclaurak @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Well, that was a waste of time! Nothing about illegal immigration, or oil and gas. All in all, one of the worst interviews I have seen.

    @BBCiPlayer you need to fix your app, it’s so bad!!! Buffering, very poor picture quality!!!

  • welsh_shaun
    Shaun (@welsh_shaun) reported

    @BBCiPlayer coverage of world cup has had the awful idea of marking goals along the fast forward bar, ensuring anyone watching on catch up gets a spoiler. So annoying. Fix it! #wc2026

    Alison Maitland (@alison_maitland) reported

    @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s a narcissist boot. She’s played all her cult for fools for years. Nicola Sturgeon only cares about Nicola Sturgeon. She loved living the high life and now it’s came crashing down. Crocodile tears won’t work anymore.

    @thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I cannot fathom how these ghouls, determined to push this through despite all the problems, still think they’re the good guys. It’s evil.
