bodypolitic3 (@bodypolitic31) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I cannot fathom how these ghouls, determined to push this through despite all the problems, still think theyโre the good guys. Itโs evil.
-
Sir Webblyingworth Brian Squirrelingtonshire ๐ฟ (@WebSquirrel) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer โHer version of eventsโ I think thatโs the problem to begin with, well at least sheโs consistent ๐คญ

Daz ๐ฏ Make Tweeting Great Again ๐ (@Daz_Gizmo) reported@DazzMetalFlame @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer The main problem was the lack of emotion with the cast knowing Honey was missing and held hostage. Diabolical...
-
PC (@PGUK78) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The decor is so awful.
-
s h a b s ๐ท ๐ฆ (@sukeve_xo) reported@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.

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!
-
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 donโt get the same level of promotion either online or on-air. So why they donโt speak out? Well, itโs probably because they fear the consequences of doing so.

Brian Whelan (@brianwhelanhack) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews awful slop. but also, three of those guests would never have got onto a show like yours during their lifetimes
-
Ranahabarana (@ranahabarana) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer What is that awful outfit Denise is wearing, those trousers ๐ฑ Silly Lauren. I donโt know why George is in a huff about the money, he deserves to have after all that **** with Eddie & yes what kind of business man is he not checking his restaurantโ account???
-
Shaun (@welsh_shaun) reported@BBCiPlayer coverage of world cup has had the awful idea of marking goals along the fast forward bar, ensuring anyone watching on catch up gets a spoiler. So annoying. Fix it! #wc2026
-
Christian Edwards (@smile_out39443) reported@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
-
Davide (@Ivorbigyin11) reportedExposed : The high street crime crisis. BBCiPlayer ๐ณ Ripping the absolute p*ss out of the UK. Broken Britain.
-
TV Fan (@BbukSave) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee
-
Gothic Mercy ๐ค๐๐ฌ๐ง๐๐น (@DeniseFirman) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Terrible! Not funny and the female lead makes it unwatchable for me. Shame because I do love Timothy Spall. I got to episode 2 but had to give up. Bring back Jonathan Creek!!
-
Shannon ๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐โ๐จ๐ (@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.
-
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?
-
Ranahabarana (@ranahabarana) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Sorry but these two sound like teenagers fighting over some toy! I mean he is literally her dad & grandfather ๐ด f her children and he wanted to make up with his kids! Seriously no thoughts to her mental issues & challenges!
-
FredPurley (@FredPurley) reported@ImSheWhoRemains @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful character. He has that sort of sneering face you want to punch

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
-
Mr P. (@BarryJane44) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer awful.
-
Steven Wilcox (@StevenWilc34988) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer @bbceastenders made some errors. Why was Jack wearing a surgical mask and apron in one scene with Denise, and the following day he, Chelsea and Libby wore no mask? Surely, with Jordan in the hospital as well, they can transfer germs to each other.
-
Miss B (@jbjayb) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Fiona Bruce is an awful presenter
-
Harumph ๐พ (@lasagneinmyshoe) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCiPlayer This has been the worst box set - Dylan's the only thing saving it

Matt Bunnell (@mattbun) reported@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.

The Wise Woman (@seeressofkell) reported@BBCBargainHunt @BBCiPlayer It was horrific, just awful
