Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As long as it’s doesn’t include those twins and Oscar….bloody awful actors and storylines. They’ve ruined this soap for months.
-
Frances Maxwell (@Frances00494672) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope they bump Mark off. He's a terrible character.
-
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.

Nigel Charles (@NTilley21717) reported@CliveMyrieBBC @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Because I go to 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!
-
Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedHey @BBCiPlayer . Still no joy with @SamsungUK ? It's over 48 hours now, and still no progress. I have discovered how useless the help functions on the TV are, but that doesn't shift the dial. Don't you have an AI support function yet to get this moving to resolution?
-
TV Fan (@BbukSave) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee
-
melonax9 (@melonax9) reported@tlukethompson @BBCiPlayer ******* FINALLY A BETTER QUALITY !!!!
-
Glen 'Riddo' Ridley (@flyingspud75) reported@wallsendredicko There's a world cup "best matches" highlights on BBCIplayer...lasts for about 2 hours starting from the 94 world cup...I watched that,as I was feeling the same...can't wait now,got a work wall planner and everything.
-
Mr P. (@BarryJane44) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer awful.
-
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.
-
Laura Phillips 💙 (@LauraPh222) reported@BBCiPlayer: The 1986 explosion at Chernobyl triggered a public health emergency across Europe. Forty years on from the disaster, @JordanDunbar10 travels to Chernobyl to examine the events that led to the world's worst nuclear accident and what we can learn from them today.
-
Gelasius Corbin (@crabshank) reportedThe worst thing about watching the World Cup on catch-up is how long it takes them to upload the matches @ITVX @BBCiPlayer
-
Colin Lingham (@LinghamColin) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer One of the most disrespectful thing to do, is to wear a Hat indoors, and there are 2 at this party. The one who works in the " 3 stall market ", must Stink as he never takes his off and is so terrible on the show. Absolutely disgusting.
-
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
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer A huge and emotional day ahead for Patrick as he prepares to meet his grandson Josh for the very first time. After eveything that happened with Jasmine - you can't blame him for thinking the worst. He's got nothing to worry about though. #EastEnders
-
ScottieTinkerbell (@sc_tinkerbell) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer My thought wow nobody was actually hurt in that. Minor injuries only. But nobody really trapped, no broken bones. Everyone just walked out. Ravi the acting is fantastic!
-
Alison Maitland (@alison_maitland) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s a narcissist boot. She’s played all her cult for fools for years. Nicola Sturgeon only cares about Nicola Sturgeon. She loved living the high life and now it’s came crashing down. Crocodile tears won’t work anymore.
-
Rust is good (@GoodName4X) reportedCan't access @BBCiPlayer . Red button not working on any device.
-
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.
-
Jason Moulton (@JasonMo95527460) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Ravi's car crash - rolled multiple times, all four occupants in and out of AE within an hour, with only a small plaster on Pryia's noggin. Ian reverses into a child at 0.000001 mph, boy is paralysed.
-
Jamie Walters (@JamieWalt78) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer I know it’s for a good cause but this was just terrible I don’t think I laughed once it was just painfully bad.
-
P (@pgsaunders) reported@Defendthewest17 And on @BBCiPlayer So brilliant that it makes me sad. BBC refuses to make anything as intelligent. Current documentaries treat us as idiots. Beauty is overridden now in favour of edgy camera work, etc.
-
bodypolitic3 (@bodypolitic31) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I cannot fathom how these ghouls, determined to push this through despite all the problems, still think they’re the good guys. It’s evil.
-
Mel D (@MelJD46) reportedDear @bbcone @BBCiPlayer, not a problem with folk enjoying #worldcup, truly havent. It has been publicised for months, i dont think every page on the #iplayer needs to advertise it .... #justmythoughts
-
. (@CathyHiya) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Hope you asked her about the video Laura where she shut down everyone by saying there was no issue with the funds
