  Ronan Kelly (@RonanGKelly) reported 3 minutes ago

  @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.

  @BBCMOTD @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Who is the woman screeching throughout the Arsenal match? It’s not a commentary, it’s a string of tired cliches she thinks of she screeches loudly enough, she’ll sound convincing. She’s awful.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Time to axe Johnny (and Callum). Both actors are awful.

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Oh lord, help us. Smug, sanctimonious wokery incoming.

  @StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer As a rule of thumb it’s probably best to not help the minister make his own point.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer first thing when there is a problem is to ask “why” then we can look at solutions…

  @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.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Ben Mitchell bashing is in hyper drive. I guess this is petty retaliation for Max Bowden not wanting to return to this **** show. I'm so glad the rating r plummeting every day. Ben Wadey is the worst thing to happen to this show.

  @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.

  Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported 32 minutes ago

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Loads??? No it's about 10 people. Distraction bs as usual. This issue is simply not affecting the majority of us. Your childish antics and your same callers day in day out! Norman & Brian 🙄 impossible to listen to for anyone with a bit of common sense

  @BBCiPlayer deciding to show 2/3 of an ice hockey game and show the last third a hour after it’s played. AWFUL BROADCASTING.

  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Stop mucking about with your website! Looks awful, why the white background????

  @StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer If they are entitled to them then what’s the issue? You know you are punching down here Stephen? People with disabilities and conditions having to justify themselves to you and your sensationalist reporting. Poor form.

  @Gordon_998877 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer yep, having to login every time you switch back to the iPlayer (even if you've just got one profile) is a PITA - other streaming services don't make you do this

  @Lord_Sugar @BBCiPlayer I commented on the first episode how dim they all are, out of curiosity I watched the 2nd episode FML Alan, you’ve certainly got your work cut out with this lot!

  @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer If either a union flag or a tricolour flag is flying in a community that supports those flags - why is that a problem?

• 
  Older&Weirder - Here We Go Again 💙 (@older_n_weirder) reported 45 minutes ago

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

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I hate Wes Streeting - can’t help it he’s just to smarmy & insincere.

  @StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer The tax avoiders are the worst 😫

  Jill T - Food safety person and G/F foodie (@jill_jtc) reported 50 minutes ago

  Why has @BBCiPlayer gone from being the best to worst platform for tv?!! Your programmes & indexing & available prog’s are out of date & rubbish!! @TheRepairShop new series live on tv but you can’t watch on iPlayer - that’s just one example. Come on, where’s my licence fee going?

  @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems?

  Brodie Bruce (@eddie_corrigan) reported 53 minutes ago

  @PayReps26654 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer I’d say that’s an Amazon or internet issue not the BBC’s

  Ciaran Carson (@carsey10) reported 56 minutes ago

  @StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer Fs there are two small housing estates near me that are built for people with disabilities so what would be the problem if the majority of cars were mobility in some streets

  Making us miss seeing our Ilia live in the figure skating! BBC is the worst service on tv!! 😡 @BBCiPlayer #BBC @BBCSport

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I predict both will vomit when they realise what they've done, but Patrick did say to Oscar in the flashforward that he was with a Truman now, so unless he and Jasmine somehow manage to reconcile, maybe this pair manages to work it out?
