  @BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer That screeching woman commentator on Arsenal game would do your ears in. Had to turn the sound off. Terrible from @BBCSport women are not compatible with the men's game.

  @EnarialP @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer They do need to work on their algorithms though - if I’m about to watch a film about Emily Brontë, do I really want to see a trailer for FA Cup coverage?

  @newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer The BBC has been terrible in recent months, it shares opinions and rumors rather than the facts, very disappointed.

  @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.

  @BBCiPlayer never saw 2012 and I really missed out didn’t I? Thanks for putting it on along with W1A before 2026. Quality.

  @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.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer He's the worst of working class people. What a ****, tax dodger promoting other tax dodgers. Absolute ****.

  @bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer What we’re dealing with is a woke academic who is again using this falsehood toxic masculinity! These are yobs and the problem is ultras and the entitlement of Celtic football club who due to victimhood believe they can do what they want and the issue is the reaction only

  @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems?

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This whole storyline is just a joke. Probably ranks up there with the 9 worst storylines the show has ever done.

  Ian Smedley (@smeg9) reported 42 minutes ago

  Always know when @BBCNews is about to switch to local news even on @BBCiPlayer because the quality absolutely tanks. I understood why it might on satellite, but on iPlayer??

  @BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds Why don’t Wales nationalise the WRU? I can’t see any other way to fix this mess created by stakeholders

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer The 10+ Episode was the worst revisit show ever. Spoiled all the good work before.

  Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported 56 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Priya is a big part of his problems because she is enabling him, always playing down his bad behaviour etc. as just now. Neither of them seem to get that actions have consequences.

  @BBCSport @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Amazing footballer, but disastrous manager and terrible pundit. Why or why is the BBC flogging this dead horse?

  @StephenNolan @nipsa @BBCiPlayer P/1 👉 She is correct, amazes me ppl speaking about this yet haven't a clue what's happening 👉 the name and shame happened at same time as UC migration which is full of errors and untrained staff, a lot of people are getting done on benefit fraud through no fault of theirs and

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Band 5 ICU nurses fighting for years for band 6 pay - some with 20+ years experience - told there’s no money in the budget. Not saying MLA’s don’t deserve it but other professions are being left behind when it comes to recognition! & don’t get me started on our car parking issue!
