  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer This afternoon's commentators on Si Jiahui v Hossein Vafaei are awful. Snooker is an interesting game. This pair are better off on mute

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The show is on the verge of going all gangster again, which is why people turn off in the first place. Why would you want to undo all the hard work you've done to go backwards?

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I wish Nicola took the opportunity to be honest with George - not just about her financial problems with the businesses but also about Eddie's money when she had a chance 😬 Now this will drive tensions between her and George and this isn't good for Ivy.

  Older&Weirder - Here We Go Again 💙 (@older_n_weirder) reported 8 minutes ago

  @BBCiPlayer never saw 2012 and I really missed out didn’t I? Thanks for putting it on along with W1A before 2026. Quality.

  Can't access @BBCiPlayer . Red button not working on any device.

  @Giantdaz72 @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer A lot of the attraction of the old stuff is listening to Coleman/Motson/Davies commentating down a crackly phone line. Those recently re-voiced commentaries are terrible.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sukeve clip during ******* visibility week? IKTR!!! But come on now guys, we've done the "Suki doesn't communicate when she's stressed and trying to make everyone's problems go away" before and she learned from it, if we're not making a point of showing her growth and how she's adapted for the better on this adoption journey and it's just revisiting old habits with no reasoning or closure, it's giving inconsistent.

  @BBCBargainHunt @BBCiPlayer Q.Ever wondered what your pet is thinking? A. Yes, not another of these awful recycled repeats compilation no one likes!

  North Yorkshire Owls (@NorthYorksOwls) reported 19 minutes ago

  @DGroundhopper @BBCiPlayer @BlairMcNally1 I think what you and I experienced in Berlin is fine, because it’s organised, because you know it’s going to happen and if you want to get away from it, you can. The issue over here is people letting them off incorrectly, unorganised and occasionally in enclosed environments.

  Liam🗻🌸 (@LiamJM10TV) reported 19 minutes ago

  @tomgreat1990 @BBCiPlayer @BBCSport Ran into the same problem. They're going to have an awful lot of people watching on demand, majority will skip to kick off and end up with the forced spoilers in the marker boxes that appear forcibly.

  Exposed : The high street crime crisis. BBCiPlayer 😳 Ripping the absolute p*ss out of the UK. Broken Britain.

  The @BBCiPlayer does my nut in, why is it so slow and dimwhitted. Just work for once. Every time I try to use it with my mum at the care home, sod all for 30 mins. @ITVX works like a dream.

  Drunken Groundhopper (@DGroundhopper) reported 28 minutes ago

  @liam_barnett @BBCiPlayer Yeh im with you on this, cut the fighting out and we have a safe environment, but unfortunately people see the ultra culture as the problem, I know lots of folk that hate what they do, like I say, cut the trouble out and it'll ve fantastic

  Jools (@JoolsJuevans) reported 28 minutes ago

  @newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer Yes the whole thing has been unedifying to watch. But the Labour MPs cheering it on are worst than the journalists. Both complicit. It’s not the X Factor.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an embarrassing load of utter ****. ******* awful

  @BBCCasualty @BBCiPlayer This has been the worst box set - Dylan's the only thing saving it

• 
  FRAGSTAR (@Fragstar00) reported 30 minutes ago

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer The problem with flash forward episodes is when you have the cliff hanger like this we all know he's not going to prison or anything like that because 6 months from now he's the best man at Max's wedding. I mean come on, write better.

  crazy cat lady (@sutty56) reported 31 minutes ago

  @BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s the worst cast member in years , get her off the programme . Awful

  Andy (@Andy63473458597) reported 34 minutes ago

  @BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer What a poor game, Ross County proving they are worst team in the division and Colin Steven proving he is worst ref in Scotland.

• 
  Good Guy Barry (@Goodguybarry) reported 35 minutes ago

  @william27504693 @BBCSportScot @BBCiPlayer It's not high bar, MON's goalies were poor e.g. Douglas, Hedman etc. Only after Boruc Celtic GK's vastly improved. Gordon brilliant shot stopper, just unfortunate he's garbage at crosses, prone to gaffes & terrible with ball at feet which is vital in modern game.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Awful, simply awful. This is the bottom of the barrel, BBC.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sorry but these two sound like teenagers fighting over some toy! I mean he is literally her dad & grandfather 👴 f her children and he wanted to make up with his kids! Seriously no thoughts to her mental issues & challenges!

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You just failed to call out the real problem with AI while committing the same problem yourselves stealing intellectual property.

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope they bump Mark off. He's a terrible character.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Probably the worst Question Time I’ve ever seen. Total trash 🧐

  Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported 53 minutes ago

  @clive_wilson @BBCiPlayer Ours stopped working a couple of days ago. Just stalls on the BBC iPlayer logo. All the other channels are fine, just the one we have to bloody pay for doesn't work!

  @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Can I just say your commentators are ******* awful to listen to. So poor and biased

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The storylines are awful right now and the so called acting is even worse
