-

-
Glenn Holland🐵 (@GHmonkeyboy) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer This was absolutely terrible. Nothing happened throughout, boring all the way too the end. Glad to see it finish! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
-
John Huyton (@JohnHuyton) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Probably the worst Question Time I’ve ever seen. Total trash 🧐
-
FRAGSTAR (@Fragstar00) reported@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.

Davide (@Ivorbigyin11) reportedExposed : The high street crime crisis. BBCiPlayer 😳 Ripping the absolute p*ss out of the UK. Broken Britain.
-
The Third Doctor? (@Tardis_Type_40) reported@BBCBargainHunt @BBCiPlayer Q.Ever wondered what your pet is thinking? A. Yes, not another of these awful recycled repeats compilation no one likes!
-
Eddie Goss* (@eddieg_11) reported@Carl_M79 @BBCiPlayer Loved the novel back in school but that drama is terrible, best of with the old movie
-
Biohazardboy (@Biohazardboy2) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Never had this issue before we imported the third world.
-
AzBalofski (@AzzerBall1968) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Commentary is bloody awful. Muted it

Stuart Ibbertson (@IbbertsonS80960) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer it was Chelsea fault telling a 4 year old to go home on his own she is one selfish and irresponsibly she a terrible mother
-
Sir Stick Your Kung Flu Passport Up Your Arse, KG (@NaahWoke) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I think the public are no longer accepting these graceless PR-coached attempts to rehabilitate people's careers. Schofield's didn't work. Huw Edwards' one isn't working. And now Sturgeon's is only going to raise people's hackles even further. Have a bit of dignity, Nicola, and just go off and live a quiet life.
-
Good Guy Barry (@Goodguybarry) reported@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.
-
Jonathan TUTOR (@therealslimsta) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer I would’ve liked the same characters from Detectorists but set in a different historical period like Blackadder. I’d like to see Small Prophets series two. Maybe Clia had to go work for Santa as she disappeared on Christmas Eve.
-
Willie Gilmour⭐️ (@williegilmour) reported@kevinbridges86 @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Player on left will never win a game of bf like that. School boy errors
-
Ronan Kelly (@RonanGKelly) reported@bbcnipress @StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer I have no problem with this new series being promoted. However, it is grossly unfair that most independent productions don’t get the same level of promotion either online or on-air. So why they don’t speak out? Well, it’s probably because they fear the consequences of doing so.

Nick Fletcher (@nicklesfletch) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why wasn't ravi sectioned earlier. He needs help. #eastenders

Mistralol (@mistralol) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer When leaders do not listen to the public or resolve a forever list of increasing issues, yes people are going to reject the goverment.
-
Tom O (P) (@Tommy_Oldham1) reported@GMNonLeague @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Sounds like a major Own goal we was only talking in work about the days when you could watch a game a few hours later without knowing the score.
-
Nigel Charles (@NTilley21717) reported@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I go to work
-
Champions 67 (@MCeltmick) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Can't help yourselves. pundits either current or ex Sevco. Every week.
-
Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews So, in using the license fee for this ****, you’ve just opened yourself up to legal action from people who do not wish to have this drivel forcefed to us. Great work
-
Luca (@MonthOfSundaes) reportedWatching #DearEngland and impressed again by what a stifling, awful handicap the British sports and news media is for anyone trying to make a difference. Top telly, this, tho'... #bbciplayer
-
S.A (@SA01189711) reported@FootyAccums They're hiding it behind a paywall because they know everyone will see how much better the FA Cup final on BBC iPlayer UHD HDR HLG looks. It completely embarrasses the TNT Ultimate feed. The drop-off in quality since BT Sport left is an absolute joke. @BBCiPlayer @tntsports
-
Frances Maxwell (@Frances00494672) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope they bump Mark off. He's a terrible character.
