Joseph H Clarke (@clarkejoseph49) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer What was that poor attempt fire effect at the end of tonight’s episode? That CGI fire was absolutely terrible.
-
Sporting Nest 🇬🇧🇮🇸🇺🇾🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ 🟧⬛ (@SportingNest) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Another ludicrous change of character, from really nasty piece of work to sheepish wimp? Wouldn't happen. And next week, we're supposed to believe that a few school kids throwing beer over him and taking photos is worse for him that juvenile detention was.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer So now Denise has told Jack quickly but there's still a problem of course. I expect she won't want chemo treatment but will go for it eventually.
-
Andrew (@Grokton) reported@BBCiPlayer Hi! UI bug on the Red Dwarf boxset. The page says "Available until Sat", but clicking the "?" help icon next to it just gives an "Oops, something went wrong" error page. Just flagging the broken link/incorrect countdown for your tech team.
-
Biohazardboy (@Biohazardboy2) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Never had this issue before we imported the third world.
-
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!
-
Voluntarily Bald (@VoluntariIyBald) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I’ve seen some ******* dreadful **** on this app. Truly awful stuff. This is now within that pantheon.
-
Ann Hacke 🕷🌱🇪🇺 #FBPA 🌻🇺🇦 (@AnnHacke) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zzzzzz. Awful characters. Can they buzz off now Sharon and son are back please. Surprised Vicki isn’t wearing her black tights under her wedding dress.
-
Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer @bbceastenders made some errors. Why was Jack wearing a surgical mask and apron in one scene with Denise, and the following day he, Chelsea and Libby wore no mask? Surely, with Jordan in the hospital as well, they can transfer germs to each other.

Sir Webblyingworth Brian Squirrelingtonshire 🐿 (@WebSquirrel) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer “Her version of events” I think that’s the problem to begin with, well at least she’s consistent 🤭
-
Jerome Tucker (@jeromejazzy) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Just finished watching. For the love of god get rid of all 3. Oscar,Jasmine & Josh. They’ve taken acting to a new low. AWFUL!
-
konatona (@konatona1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer arsenal have problem
-
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
-
Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As long as it’s doesn’t include those twins and Oscar….bloody awful actors and storylines. They’ve ruined this soap for months.
-
MyboyAustie🌟 (@AustinsSatnin) reportedElvis wasn't enlisted in the army after the trouble performance that didn't happen So thats another inaccuracy 4 years on @BBCiPlayer #AustinButler #Elvis2022
-
IlleagleTender1933 (@Tender1933) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds The worst World Cup commentary ever! It sucks!
-
Lee Millard (@onein300) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer We just need it regulated and the awful status quo rectified.
-
Nicky Hill (@nickyjanehill) reported@darrenjadams @anon_opin @BBCiPlayer Drives me mad!! I like auto play of the next episode of the thing I’m watching but I don’t want to watch Casualty or Waterloo Road. Ever. I delete from continue watching but next day they’re back. Terrible development team.
-
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.
-
Matthew Farris 🏳️🌈 (@mattFarris) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Bea could drive that car straight through all the plot holes in this terrible story.
-
Clive B 🏴 🕉️ 🏴 (@watertiger69) reported@BBCSport @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Quite possibly the worst game I've seen this season. 😴💤
-
AlisonAbraham (@AlisonA02620688) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer With some conditions there is no way to alleviate the horror & indignity. Palliative care can only do so much. Watching a loved one vomit up faeces is awful but nothing to the appalling experience by the patient. It should be the individual’s choice.
-
Tyke on a bike (@MelvinJCain) reported@BBCiPlayer U assume you don’t want you licence payers to use iplayer. I have watched it for years. Now it’s telling me to log in, log in. It’s not the correct password I create new password. Still cannot login The sooner the BBC loses its charter the better.
-
Miss B (@jbjayb) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Fiona Bruce is an awful presenter
-
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.
-
Andy P (@frjack) reported@NordVPN When I last renewed my VPN you werent working with bbciplayer - at the time i was told (by your customer service folks) that there was a problem. Is this resolved now?
-
Allan G (@AllanG511622) reported@stvplayeruk It’s a shame your coverage of the World Cup football games is not in UHD 4k. Footage is terrible compared to the great BBC Iplayer UHD 4k coverage of games. @BBCiPlayer
-
Brian Whelan (@brianwhelanhack) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews awful slop. but also, three of those guests would never have got onto a show like yours during their lifetimes
-
OCD Soundsystem 🇵🇸 🇻🇪 (@millenumcholic) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen

333B (@333_b33) reported@BBCiPlayer you need to fix your app, it’s so bad!!! Buffering, very poor picture quality!!!
