Adrian (@adrian_arty25) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews AI will work a lot better in Westminster than the fruit loops that’s got voted into it.
-
scottb (@scottb1103) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer best & worst day of all time following Scotland. Getting to Wembley was a “challenge”…saved by Dundee boys in a mini van!! Played really well first half & HT was brilliant. Guffs scored good goal but we would have won that game if pen goes in. McCoist should have taken it
-
SnoopDoge (@jackdoor2681151) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Who gives a fig, why is the final episode of the welsh open missing? Seriously, please fix this!
-
𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That Josh is just terrible, cant act and I just can't stand him.
-
Paula m (@PaulaRossi47) reported@BBCSport @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The commentary is awful
-
FilmChampion (@PanopticalDream) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You should fire all the people who made and signed off on this and they should never work in the industry again.
-
Idris (@idrisamihere) reported@bbcpress @boyz_allowed @BBCiPlayer It's an awful programme though lol
-
Kate Martinson 💙 (@Kate_Martinson) reported@lovelaw2 @TheMaineWonk @BBCiPlayer I'm sorry. Does a vpn work?
-
Ricardohx4 (@ricardohx4) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Vicki and Mark are terrible boring sad sack characters - they bring nothing new, they’re typical types that give the show its miserable depressing dreary life reputation it’s always trying to shake off.
-
Roy Thornton (@RThorn1) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Pity this is going. The people on just have not been the quality needed to watch. Alex is ok but some of the others have been poor.
-
Graydispo (@graydispo) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I don't feel the urge to listen to a pattern matchers idea of some of the worst people to live.
-
M (@MustBeMam) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Other parties should invite this woman to tell them what they can do to help. SNP need to be stopped. They are ruining our schools.
-
zac (@Omegapoint111) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an embarrassing load of utter ****. ******* awful
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedHey @BBCiPlayer . Still no joy with @SamsungUK ? It's over 48 hours now, and still no progress. I have discovered how useless the help functions on the TV are, but that doesn't shift the dial. Don't you have an AI support function yet to get this moving to resolution?
-
. (@CathyHiya) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope you asked her about the video Laura where she shut down everyone by saying there was no issue with the funds
-
Alex Barrett ☘️🇮🇪 (@albarr1978) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The storylines are awful right now and the so called acting is even worse
-
konatona (@konatona1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer arsenal have problem
-
The Men's Advisory Project (@MensAdvisoryP) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer This is why MAP or Women's Aid provide time & support whilst a victim thinks through their options. We support them with examining risk and making safety plans and work together to see how to leave safely. For so many, leaving or ending the relationship is the most dangerous time
-
North Yorkshire Owls (@NorthYorksOwls) reported@DGroundhopper @BBCiPlayer @BlairMcNally1 I think what you and I experienced in Berlin is fine, because it’s organised, because you know it’s going to happen and if you want to get away from it, you can. The issue over here is people letting them off incorrectly, unorganised and occasionally in enclosed environments.
-
@jeffprad 🏴☠️ (@jeffprad1) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What a terrible waste of electricity. How much did this consume?
-
Jim James (@JimJamesHorgan) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer That gym moment of watching a terrible actor trying to look smart felt like eastenders hitting new depths but then came the break in scene 😣 Go to any amateur group & you'll find way better actors. Even when he has good lines he just wastes them 🤢
-
Shantilal Patel (@PatelShant84519) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I get my present and I still could not get a place the council wouldn’t help me. I was on road for two weeks, but yet these people come in and they get a nice four star hotel three 3 meal a day what a ******* joke
-
Paul Miller (@Mill01234565) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer No one, I saw, mentions the amount of people using their own money to go private. But governments UK and Scottish spend more time dealing with ideological or minority issues. Whether its SNP or Labour we are being let down and we seem happy to vote for the muppets letting us down
-
Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer There is going to be trouble brewing for that family and residence soon, we all know what eddie is like.
-
Andy P (@frjack) reported@NordVPN I used to use you, but about a year ago your system stopped working with bbciplayer. Is this still an issue or did you fix it? I ask as my renewal is up again
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedApproaching 24 hours outage, now, @BBCiPlayer , with a @SamsungUK TV that won't load beyond the BBC menu system. This is rendering the BBC licence fee we pay subject to challenge on a non delivery of service basis. It seems Samsung are pivoting to a pay for upgrade model? 🤮.
-
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.
-
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.

LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Surprised there's no STD problems in EE. So much bed hopping!
-
WBA Essex Baggie (@ChrisRicha49037) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer The 10+ Episode was the worst revisit show ever. Spoiled all the good work before.
