SnoopDoge (@jackdoor2681151) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Who gives a fig, why is the final episode of the welsh open missing? Seriously, please fix this!
-
Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported@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
-
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.
-
Fishface (@Gabriuna) reported@BruceD16659 What an awful series, talk about stereotyping a whole nation, based on a book you say? Stay away I say. @BBCiPlayer
-
Nick Fletcher (@nicklesfletch) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why wasn't ravi sectioned earlier. He needs help. #eastenders

Ciaran Carson (@carsey10) reported@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

thetodd (@thetoddy111) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer As if ANY of them are any better As if we could have faith in them Theyre ALL awful We need a total reset doubt it will happen Dont trust this lot either
-
Danny Tarr (@DannyTarr) reported@StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer Buskers don’t bother me as some of them are very good to listen too. It’s the preachers I have a problem with. It has got way out of hand and I agree something needs to be done. Cant turn a corner without someone shouting about Jesus down a mic or forcing leaflets in your hand.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Lauren and Penny scenes have been great recently. I hope Lauren does end up buying the Car Lot. Jay should've never have sold it in the first place and that's something he would never do if he was still here. Can't wait for Lauren & Priya to work together. #EastEnders
-
Pól Míchéal O'Slatraigh (@PSlatraigh) reported@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?
-
Blaco Bass (@blacobass1969) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer He's the worst of working class people. What a ****, tax dodger promoting other tax dodgers. Absolute ****.
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny’s actor is awful.
-
Sir Brian of Ipswich (@brianofipswich) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Just finished. Not seeing the hype. Michael is throughly unlikable. No pride in his home, appearance or employment. Nihilistic and a compulsive liar. Emotionally stunted and a taker. He treats anyone that requires something of him with distain. Awful man.

-
robbie does stuff (@robertbegg_art) reported@IKnoTheTruth2 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer ...that is generally the goal of adverts, yes. their success rate isn't really the issue OP is complaining about
-
Edward william (@EdwardW16351) reported@StephenNolan @JamieBrysonLLB @BBCiPlayer Who’s having the worst bad hair day , little Jamie should give it up, , the flags 🥱 that won’t change
-
Jamie Walters (@JamieWalt78) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer I know it’s for a good cause but this was just terrible I don’t think I laughed once it was just painfully bad.
-
Janet Squires (@Poke_In_The_Eye) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I hate Wes Streeting - can’t help it he’s just to smarmy & insincere.

-
Cats Rule (@TirnAOge) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Hmmmmmm, not sure how this will work. He is so full of himself and full of being "Welsh" (I have nothing against Welsh people in general). Shame as I always enjoyed this show
-
George Spence (@georgespence1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer That screeching woman commentator on Arsenal game would do your ears in. Had to turn the sound off. Terrible from @BBCSport women are not compatible with the men's game.
