@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Zoe clearly wanted to get a reaction out of Sharon but it's also clear that wants to sponge money off of her and if Sharon knew that Zoe's baby was Dennis's she'd help her. Zoe is a class A liar and she's incredibly manipulative. Can't wait for Max next week.

Aside from the @BBCNews bias towards reform, the other really annoying thing is how their apps are of such poor quality. @BBCSounds radio just stops all the time - their website packs up when the cricket gets interesting. And @BBCiPlayer must have been written for a bet.

@BBCRosAtkins @BBCiPlayer This BBC Verify on Proportionality is, quite frankly, one of the worst bits of journalism coming out of the BBC. From the off (Hamas killed 1200), to claims about "tunnels" (so overused it's a trope) and human shields, to the application of proportionality (& the "expert"). Uhg.

@BBCBargainHunt @natasharadio @BBCiPlayer I am hoping that some clever boffin would be able to work out the statistical probability of that happening. I guess there’s been quite a few episodes now. V much looking forward to seeing this.

@BBCSport @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer The worst commentators in my lifetime of watching athletics on the #bbc. Y is kwakche fronting, she is terrible. I can only think she is there because she was a former athlete or her skin colour? Jenny meadows is dreary and brings nothing.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A great episode incoming for Zoe tonight as she continues to worry about her past. Has Zoe killed Greg? ( The man from the flashback who claimed he could help her find her adopted son)? Or did she just attack him? Either way Gregg could have contacts. #EastEnders

@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer just watching your review of women's 200m heats. Did you not know that @daryllneita qualified as well? Why not show her run in a much stronger heat? Terrible coverage

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Stacy says her kids are her life. But how many times has Stacy put other people before her kids? Stacy spent Martin's life insurance money to help Kat buy the pub rather than invest it in her children's/Ruby's son's future. 1/2.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Greg may also have contacts that could trace Zoe back to Walford not helped by the fact that they'd know how to track her down because of that article. Going to the police about Greg may also bring more trouble to Zoe's door too.

@BBCiPlayer why is your app so bad? I have to delete and reinstall constantly to get the start watching button to work and this only started recently. Why not hire a programmer? It’s an issue with the ‘do you have a to license dialogue box’ So so bad.

.@BBCiPlayer why would you make the adverts on kids profiles unskippable? That's such a terrible UX to inflict on children. This is a real step backwards.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zoe is an awful person/character. Theres literally nothing nice about her. I cant tell if its becauee she supposed to be a villian character or its just bad writing.
