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

PC (@PGUK78) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The decor is so awful.

andrew kerry (@andrewkerr64832) reported@BBCiPlayer #bbc #Winter Olympics Dear the BBC, your coverage is absolutely shocking. Tuned in at 1230 today for the men’s biathlon on your red button service. Nothing. Thanks for nothing. Worst coverage EVER 😡

alabama 🇵🇸 (@alabamarust) reported@BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer @BBCSounds Why don’t Wales nationalise the WRU? I can’t see any other way to fix this mess created by stakeholders

Andymacc26 (@Angusrockstar1) reported@StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer The problem is in their own community.
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@antonydandrea1 @BBCiPlayer Took us numerous attempts to even log on then when we eventually got to the program it would only play a few seconds then start buffering. Pausing it for a couple of minutes seemed to do the trick. No problem with ITV.

-
Livefromwestbelfast (@Inwestbelfast) reported@StephenNolan @Frankshivers @BBCiPlayer Talking about the poor and disabled who have to beg and lower themselves to justify their need for help. Years of austerity and new stricter benefits to control fraud, and you want more. End tax avoidance and loop holes with a fair footing for everybody. Flat rate for all.

Jonny Payne (@jonnypayne23) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer You can’t be intimidated by a flag. You can choose to be offended but that applies to anything. I could choose to be offended by terrible architecture. Doesn’t make it illegal and should be bulldozed

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

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!

Collin G. Woodstreet (@LastLegsFC) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Acting work dried up?
-
Jay Wood (@ProudBritish38) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer bring back Jay.. I'm not saying what Jamie said wasn't stupid, cruel or straight up being a ****, however, he said 1 word, and then regretted saying it. Look at other actors and actresses that have done stuff throughout EastEnders history 1. Leslie [***** Den] killed a german taxi driver, whilst not recent nor whilst he portrayed Den the truth about Leslie would soon show. Leslie played the character of Den for years after that revelation. 2. Jessie [Kat slater] has assaulted Police officers. 3. Steve [Phil mitchell] alleged domestic issues. Whilst the show wouldn't feel the same without Kat or Phil, love them or hate them, Jay/Jamie did **** all wrong in comparison to these three.

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.

Alistair Lennox (@AlistairLennox) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer How many extra people have moved to the UK since 2000? Answer that and you’ve answered the reason behind the housing problem!

Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedThe saga of @BBCiPlayer on our @SamsungUK TV continues. Not swift and somewhat unsure, Samsung; 96 hours outage and counting. I connected via DMs, gave personal and TV details, and asked about timescales. No answer? Is this a kind of limbo?
-
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

Philip Colclough (@PhilColclough78) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems?

𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is an awful character already! Can't stand him
-
WAFU World (@JoeDoeToday) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer There's "**** thick" and then there's this lot. Lord Sugar, I think it's time for you to call it a day. The BBC has milked it and you don't want to tarnish your good name. Let's face it, the country is in a state and if this is the future, then God help us.

doffcocker (@doffcocker) reported@BBCArchive @BBCiPlayer the phrase “eclectic collection” is doing a lot of work in that sentence and i need to know more

TJW (@TraceyW83194634) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer God help this country really hope reform can save it
-
Alison Ward (@delca1) reported@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Another big issue with pavement parking is new estates, often flats in converted commercial buildings not having to provide enough parking as local councils think it’ll encourage people to use public transport rather than cars. This will never work!
-
Shuahae⛸️ (@Mingoobies) reported@BBCiPlayer get somebody to fix the stream please. I'm trying to watch the figure skating team event and it's showing all sorts of random other sports
-
LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Surprised there's no STD problems in EE. So much bed hopping!
-
Paula m (@PaulaRossi47) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer I don't watch @BBCMOTD any more it's awful
-
Arty Bow (@arty_bow) reported@BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer …then we get 10 minutes of him lecturing us like we’re teenagers because we can’t work it out for ourselves. BBC documentaries used to be superb. Even the average ones were twice as good as this.
-
BrummieGirl (@takethe_highway) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Its soap. Actors leave, characters move on etc. But if you want this pair to work these guys and the writing are gonna have to work on selling it a lot better than is currently happening.
