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

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

IlleagleTender1933 (@Tender1933) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds The worst World Cup commentary ever! It sucks!

Iain From Argyll Scotland 🏴💙 (@BonnieScotland_) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I suspect that both these women work for British intelligence agencies.
-
Sheikhy6 (@salsheikh6) reported@BBCiPlayer why is the England v DR Congo stream delayed by over 30 seconds compared to watching it on the TV? This is a terrible service being this far behind! Tax payers money up the khazi 🤬
-
HarperLou100 💙💛INVOKE THE 25TH NOW,🌊🌊 (@HarperLou100) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is a creep and a ****. with really bad hair, and she is dressing like trampy *********, another awful uncomfortable watch, from the most depressing soap on TV
-
Observer (@leftcoastobs) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I’ve been watching since the beginning and have to say this is the worst it has ever been. Tick tock
-
Jason Moulton (@JasonMo95527460) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Ravi's car crash - rolled multiple times, all four occupants in and out of AE within an hour, with only a small plaster on Pryia's noggin. Ian reverses into a child at 0.000001 mph, boy is paralysed.

bodypolitic3 (@bodypolitic31) reported@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.
-
J's Us (@kellzik) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Josh is a terrible human being.
-
TV Fan (@BbukSave) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee
-
Jean Dorothy Pedder 💙 (Hudson) (@leanjeanp) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Right.. I don’t recall, I can’t remember, I wasn’t aware, I didn’t spend much time in my kitchen, I never visited my mother in law, I never checked the funds despite warnings of issues, I never suspected Peter blah blah.. I know nothing!

High-paid maid. (@No1denthygiene) reported@AnnaCollinson @BBCiPlayer The problem these parents will run into is when they signed the IVF consent form it stated that they allow the clinic to select the donor. The profiles shown to them were marketing material *only*. The policy of clinic-led selection was not made clear to them.
-
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
-
Martin Paul (@martinianpaul) reported@SeventiesLegend @BBCiPlayer I'll never understand how these things work. Plus, why are Radio 4 plays only available on Audible?
-
John parent (@ParentJohn) reported@_SoccerScribe_ @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer Commentary is awful, agreed. They show a lot of games from 2022 WC especially the final. It’s better than nothing I guess.
-
@jeffprad 🏴☠️ (@jeffprad1) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What a terrible waste of electricity. How much did this consume?
-
Brian (@Brian73789347) reported@Janekelly25 @BBCiPlayer At least it is not a picture of a gazelle. Hopefully the adaptation was done by someone more willing to familiarise themselves with the work.

Ciaran Wallace💙 (@oldbencjw) reportedWatching some of these World Cup highlights from previous tournaments on #bbciplayer you realise how awful David Seaman was for #England #FIFAWorldCup

AlexRichardson (@AlexRic79797880) reported@justalazyguyy @piersmorgan @BBCiPlayer I just woke up at 5.45, watched the game. Now getting ready for work. Not so much sleep missed.

-
Rkin (@RKin3333) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's not enough to "work on" a good death for all. Delivery is already long overdue. If the government is not committing to funding it now, it isn't going to be provided for those who need it now or 5 years hence or even 10 years hence.
