-
Frances Maxwell (@Frances00494672) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope they bump Mark off. He's a terrible character.
-
Alicepugh 🏴 (@Barbara91474014) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer People having to crowd fund to pay exorbitant rent. One already has taken out a loan because his wife's sick and can't work.
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@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!
-
Sir Brian of Ipswich (@brianofipswich) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Just finished. Not seeing the hype. Michael is throughly unlikable. No pride in his home, appearance or employment. Nihilistic and a compulsive liar. Emotionally stunted and a taker. He treats anyone that requires something of him with distain. Awful man.
-
Welsh Women's Rugby🏴 (@waleswomenrugby) reported@BBCScrumV @BBCiPlayer Please fix the stream 😭
-
Loretta (@Loretta37311) reported@o_charmian29763 @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Each to their own but I find her awful, totally unwatchable… those facial expressions. A terrible over-actor.
-
Champions 67 (@MCeltmick) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Can't help yourselves. pundits either current or ex Sevco. Every week.
-
Ricardohx4 (@ricardohx4) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Vicki and Mark are terrible boring sad sack characters - they bring nothing new, they’re typical types that give the show its miserable depressing dreary life reputation it’s always trying to shake off.
-
Mr P. (@BarryJane44) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer awful.
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny’s actor is awful.
-
Tracey (@April_1970s) reported@Andy___Douglas @vicderbyshire @BBCiPlayer If you had bothered to read her testimony you’d know that she couldn’t explain why she had gynaecological problems which she sought help for. What is your point ? She knew, she lied ? Why is it men like yourself need the victim to explain themselves? Andy Douglas, I pity you.
-
@ultracrepidity (@ultra_crepidity) reported@BBCSport @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Amazing footballer, but disastrous manager and terrible pundit. Why or why is the BBC flogging this dead horse?
-
Zippy (@zippyyu) reported@StephenNolan @BBCNolan @BBCiPlayer Our airport has no problem worshipping one
-
The Men's Advisory Project (@MensAdvisoryP) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer This is why MAP or Women's Aid provide time & support whilst a victim thinks through their options. We support them with examining risk and making safety plans and work together to see how to leave safely. For so many, leaving or ending the relationship is the most dangerous time
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reportedAnyone else having problems with @BBCiPlayer? Constantly buffering so bad as to be unwatchable. No problem on other streaming channels so wouldn't appear to be our equipment or broadband.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Priya is a big part of his problems because she is enabling him, always playing down his bad behaviour etc. as just now. Neither of them seem to get that actions have consequences.
-
North Yorkshire Owls (@NorthYorksOwls) reported@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.
-
Jill T - Food safety person and G/F foodie (@jill_jtc) reportedWhy has @BBCiPlayer gone from being the best to worst platform for tv?!! Your programmes & indexing & available prog’s are out of date & rubbish!! @TheRepairShop new series live on tv but you can’t watch on iPlayer - that’s just one example. Come on, where’s my licence fee going?
-
Cats Rule (@TirnAOge) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Hmmmmmm, not sure how this will work. He is so full of himself and full of being "Welsh" (I have nothing against Welsh people in general). Shame as I always enjoyed this show
-
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
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Johnny is terrible 🤢 hurry up and axe him.
-
Ogbeni D (@adeduntan) reported@ifeelflames It’s even worse in Ireland where the @BBCiPlayer doesn’t work This means you can’t record or pause @deathinparadise
-
.. (@_lg_1972) reported@EnglandRugby @BBCiPlayer We are terrible. What do we practice aside from kick chase ? Our passing is atrocious
-
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 👍
-
Bigwows 💚🤍💜 ✖️✖️🏴 (@bigwows) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Bet it dropped off majorly. Detectorists it ain’t and the guy who played Michael was awful.
-
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!
-
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!
-
konatona (@konatona1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer arsenal have problem
-
Clive Wilson (@clive_wilson) reported@BBCiPlayer There are issues today with the iPlayer app no longer working on the Roku 3840 Streaming Stick, without warning. Other 3840 users are also affected. Is there a reason for this? Planned or unexpected?
-
