LondonGirl (@JenniferGa29345) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer This episode was absolutely shocking, I like Nicola but WTF is this god awful family about, dreadful
-
Paul Buckley (@inspiredlanky) reported@bbctms @thehundred @BBCiPlayer Awful competition. Are the BBC that desperate for sports content that it ends up showing this?
-
Westie (@Wee_Westie29) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Thing is Gray will actually get with it as technically he’s not done anything wrong unless he’s planning an escape. It’s Sheila who’ll be in trouble as she’s the one whose actually taken Jordan #Eastenders

steve smith (@stevetsiuk) reported@bbclaurak @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Well, that was a waste of time! Nothing about illegal immigration, or oil and gas. All in all, one of the worst interviews I have seen.
-
Donna (@Donna14634857) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I’ve watched EE from day dot, since NY it’s the worst it’s ever been. Far fetched, ridiculous story lines that just don’t make sense or wouldn’t happen or far fetched it’s laughable , boring, more miserable than it ever was.

Harry (@QuimHarry) reported@PaulHeatonSolo @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer I thought something terrible had happened when I saw the TV guide 🙏

richard (@buckers772) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews The whole point that was largely missed (maybe deliberately) on this show is that there is one thing that AI needs and devours above all else. DATA. So the real problem we have now is who holds - or will hold - our data (NHS, digital ID etc). Corporations like Palantir. Oracle. They are not domestic companies and they are not interested in “solving our problems”. They exist to make more money for their owners and stakeholders. What do they do with our personal data? And whilst on the subject is it a coincidence that new UK GOV contracts are being awarded to those very companies who happen to be large clients of Mandelson, Blair etc? And that Blair has suddenly popped up to tell us the future is AI? And the chief AI officer of the Blair Institute was a guest on the panel? Some coincidence.

Westie (@Wee_Westie29) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Jack giving Max some brotherly advice. Given Jack’s relationship history, he knows what he’s talking about and he’s right: Max needs to fix it as he’s got a lot to deal with . #Eastenders

McQ8 (@McQ8__) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCiPlayer Quality

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
-
Chuck (@ChuckIOM) reported@BobFranklin3 @ttracesofficial @BBCiPlayer No one is “making” me do anything. I know a lot of followers love the IOM, old motorcycles and the TT races, it’s of interest to them. If it’s not for you, no issue, dont watch it😎🇮🇲
-
Ciaran Wallace💙 (@oldbencjw) reportedWatching some of these World Cup highlights from previous tournaments on #bbciplayer you realise how awful David Seaman was for #England #FIFAWorldCup
-
WeTheMany (@WTM_TTF) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You just failed to call out the real problem with AI while committing the same problem yourselves stealing intellectual property.
-
Paul Duerinckx (@drinckx) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Terrible, though they all Looked more realistic than Fiona Bruce.
-
lordclifton 🇬🇧🇮🇪 (@lordclifton2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Why aren’t they at the Airport police station? Why is arrested Sheila arriving at the front entrance like that? The show is so poorly written these days and terrible continuity I may have to quit after 41 years.
-
Brett (@BrettOfTheSouth) reportedWhy is @ITVX always saying "there's something wrong with our connection" yet @BBCiPlayer and @Channel4 rarely have any issues...
-
Sheila (@MrsLScotland) reported@BBCiPlayer Please help half way through New Tricks and it’s disappeared have you dropped off the programmes?
-
lee (@screensumup) reported@moviesinfocus Very fair! Watch The GOLD on bbciplayer. Better performance than Slow Horses (which is still good). He can do ruthless. As Bonds go, not the worst shout. Probably another decoy though.
-
C . A . T (@DeathUnicursal) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Next time invite Ebola on and let it’s do its work on everyone involved in making this bullshit
-
Barry Wall (@HeadWarriorTWM) reported@sinton_alison @BBCiPlayer I did. It was like watching a car crash in slow motion
-
KB (@KB_ISaidBoourns) reported@BBCiPlayer Why is your app so ******* clunky. Spinny circles and error codes aplenty. Pain in the arse.
-
Bernadette Shaw (@bernadette67_a) reported@shellthestig @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer So is Oscar….definitely signs with him. Jean has behavioural issues in addition to bipolar. And Bert & Ernie act strangely but they might just be terribly bad actors! Not sure this is necessarily miles off for a Square of people.
-
Shannon 👩❤️💋👨💞 (@Shannon79053723) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Honestly, Ian has been a far better son to Kathy over the years than Ben ever was. Whatever Ian's faults, he's consistently been there for her. Ben turned out far more like Phil. A lot of his worst traits.
-
… (@LiverIron99) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Reeks of den watts 2.0 So desperate to relieve the glory days forgetting all the actual character work that went into why max and Stacey worked
-
John parent (@ParentJohn) reported@_SoccerScribe_ @1968Tv @BBCiPlayer Commentary is awful, agreed. They show a lot of games from 2022 WC especially the final. It’s better than nothing I guess.
-
Magan Hassan (@MaganHGang) reported@DanielO04532942 @PokemonNewsUK @BBCiPlayer They don't work on that..

Scott Matthewman (@scottm) reportedCaught episode 1 of The Hairdresser Mysteries on @BBCiPlayer. Yikes. A daytime drama so banally terrible that even AI would call it slop.
