Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Lauren is beautiful but a terrible actor, she either shouts or mumbles most of the time. And of course she has another disaster this week, she's always doomed!
-
Paul Collins (@PaulCol01201464) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Nandy tries in vain to defend the indefensible as Labour kills hospitality. Employers' national insurance rises hit pay and jobs. The government offers no help to increase wages. Yet Reeves says no to levelling capital gains tax with income tax and launching a wealth levy.

Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny is terrible 🤢 hurry up and axe him.
-
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.

-
Darkfirewolf (Blue Rappy) (@Evilcon27) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This whole storyline is just a joke. Probably ranks up there with the 9 worst storylines the show has ever done.

Elsa lion cub (@elsalioncub) reported@AmandaHolden @chattyman @BBCiPlayer Worst program on tele

-
Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful storyline and writing = awful acting from everyone involved.
-
Benny H (@BennyH391512) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system
-
melaniebelle (@melaniebelle808) reported@bbceastenders @BBC @BBCiPlayer Denzel brought bad medicine into the house. Now Yolande must find an Obeah man to fix this. And she won't find one in yellow pages.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I'll be curious to discover how Suki and Vinny will react when they discover Ravi's attack against Nugget. Would Suki keep her promise to Priya and get Ravi the help he needs? She'll feel guilty for throwing him out but doesn't want to jepodise the adoption.
-
Booba (@dolfingray) reported@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.
-
wbd (@chazul11) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer What we’re dealing with is a woke academic who is again using this falsehood toxic masculinity! These are yobs and the problem is ultras and the entitlement of Celtic football club who due to victimhood believe they can do what they want and the issue is the reaction only
-
jeno (@JAC2725) reported@BBCiPlayer deciding to show 2/3 of an ice hockey game and show the last third a hour after it’s played. AWFUL BROADCASTING.
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders

Ed Mc Veigh (@EdVeigh36753) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer The tax avoiders are the worst 😫
-
Anthony Parry (@AnthonyParryUK) reportedSo @Google @BBCiPlayer please can you fix iPlayer on Google TV as it doesn't show anything in the continue watching rail of the home screen.. thanks 👍
-
Whyamidoingthis. (@46Ruthie) reported@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Grr, Overpopulation is causing parking problems. If the government didn’t allow so many people to move here it wouldn’t be as bad! Typical that We are told to cycle, walk or bus because of immigration.
-
Edj (@stpejo) reported@StephenNolan @EoinTennyson @BBCiPlayer Pretending not to be part of the problem means you will never be part of the solution. Spending Friday night in RVH ED in excruciating pain along with 180 or so other people like me. To talk to my GP meant waiting until Monday after Thursday’s request for help. My GP doesn’t like to take messages. “What can you do as my GP to help?” the receptionist told me.

iggyboy63 (@DavidSh99798518) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Thought it terrible tbh..safe,middle class viewing

Kevinthegerbil (@Gerbiltime) reported@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.
