@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That was the worst Christmas EE I've ever seen and I've been watching since the beginning. So boring and dull! No one is interested in Zoe or Anthony or Chrissy! Why bring them back at all?? Come on EE, please improve otherwise I'll stop watching. Nigels storyline is fabulous.

@bbctms @MichaelVaughan @BBCiPlayer Terrible job by curator…. He should be sacked or cricket Australia be involved and monitor how pitches are created in Australia

@bbctms @MichaelVaughan @BBCiPlayer Pitch may have been poor , but when are former players like Michael going to address the real issue , which is that the **** show that is T20 franchise cricket is killing batting techniques & the mental resilience required to score runs on a challenging test match pitch ? Maybe never given that most of them make a lot of money pimping for T20 franchise cricket !

@BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer No no no no no sorry I meant no. Did I say that right? I really mean no. It was bloody awful, the best part was before opening credits and after closing credits. Nothing funny about it at all.

@AudreySuffolk @BBCiPlayer That'll be like Cooper and Fry on another station. Supposed to be in Derbyshire but filmed in Ireland, like Lynley, with Irish actors doing very dodgy Derbyshire accents. With locations looking nothing like Derbyshire. It asks the audience to do an awful lot of heavy lifting

@Indycell1 @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer That much is abundantly clear. I have no clue who she is, but she’s terrible. No technique at all.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer What was there to unfold? Literally nothing happened, and the script itself wouldn't even pass muster in Hollyoaks. Seriously ******* awful.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This is ridiculous. I do not like this at all. You have enough material to work with to keep it at a current date why do it like this? #EastEnders

@bbctms @MichaelVaughan @BBCiPlayer Regardless of the pitch not being a road, this has to be the worst Ashes series in history. Particularly for application and technique.

The year is 2026 and @BBCiPlayer is still only in low quality stereo despite half their programs being broadcast in 5.1... forget UHD, this is more important!!!

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This story, the Zoe thing & every other story on EE is terrible. Not good when viewers stop caring about the characters or stories & give up

@bbctms @MichaelVaughan @BBCiPlayer This wicket leaned too far in favour of the bowlers but overall, the other 3 were were good wickets (Perth included) Result wickets make for much better viewing and a far better contest. Encouraging these wickets will help test cricket and you’ll get some like this.

And have jyst looked up#FawltyTowers, #BBCiplayer after refering to this character, as how I feel so patronised, consoled and condescended, by some other middle aged, elderly women at Church, and over hearing mother meetings outside the flat half 3, Series 2 Episode 1, Communication Problems
