s h a b s 🌷 🦚 (@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.

Champions 67 (@MCeltmick) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Can't help yourselves. pundits either current or ex Sevco. Every week.

Andy (@Andy63473458597) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer What a poor game, Ross County proving they are worst team in the division and Colin Steven proving he is worst ref in Scotland.

Ryan (@ryanpr77) reported@leedsrhinos @TheChallengeCup @BBCiPlayer Quality line up, just missing Croft but Brown will do a job
-
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
-
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

Drunken Groundhopper (@DGroundhopper) reported@liam_barnett @BBCiPlayer Yeh im with you on this, cut the fighting out and we have a safe environment, but unfortunately people see the ultra culture as the problem, I know lots of folk that hate what they do, like I say, cut the trouble out and it'll ve fantastic
-
@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?
-
doffcocker (@doffcocker) reported@BBCArchive @BBCiPlayer the phrase “eclectic collection” is doing a lot of work in that sentence and i need to know more
-
Blaco Bass (@blacobass1969) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer He's the worst of working class people. What a ****, tax dodger promoting other tax dodgers. Absolute ****.

Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Bad idea ,she's been away much too long. Just like Zoe, it won't work.
-
Booba (@dolfingray) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer If they are entitled to them then what’s the issue? You know you are punching down here Stephen? People with disabilities and conditions having to justify themselves to you and your sensationalist reporting. Poor form.
-
The Corporate Dude (@CorporateDude) reported@anon_opin I love @BBCiPlayer, it's years ahead of the awful @ITVX, but they need to track my usage and see that I skip EVERY SINGLE TRAILER. I don't want to watch a trailer for something else, I want to watch what I've selected.

lyncey 🇬🇧 yorkshire 💋 (@lyncey_gilbe) reported@RyanSoapKing25 @BBCiPlayer Definitely Kim! Westbrook is awful
-
andrew kerry (@andrewkerr64832) reported@BBCiPlayer #bbc #Winter Olympics Dear the BBC, your coverage is absolutely shocking. Tuned in at 1230 today for the men’s biathlon on your red button service. Nothing. Thanks for nothing. Worst coverage EVER 😡

SnoopDoge (@jackdoor2681151) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Who gives a fig, why is the final episode of the welsh open missing? Seriously, please fix this!
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders I'll be curious to discover how Suki and Vinny will react when they discover Ravi's attack against Nugget. Would Suki keep her promise to Priya and get Ravi the help he needs? She'll feel guilty for throwing him out but doesn't want to jepodise the adoption.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Boring boring boring. Unbelievable nonsense story. Why would Priya steal a car to take Ravi to hospital and then not even ask for him to be seen? She would have asked for help weeks ago. Children boring with endless disasters. I wish the car crash had written them out.
-
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.
-
𝕀𝕥𝕤𝕂𝕖𝕞𝕡𝕪! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is an awful character already! Can't stand him
-
Richard Speight (@Pollos_Enanos) reported@scottspeig @BBCiPlayer It will be a rights issue. Sky+ (or other DVR) and then watch when you like as I did.
-
Will (@thenightswstch) reported@StephenNolan @DHamill2004 @BBCiPlayer Dermot just summed up the problem quite clearly there without even realising what he just done.

melonax9 (@melonax9) reported@tlukethompson @BBCiPlayer ******* FINALLY A BETTER QUALITY !!!!
-
Livefromwestbelfast (@Inwestbelfast) reported@StephenNolan @Frankshivers @BBCiPlayer Talking about the poor and disabled who have to beg and lower themselves to justify their need for help. Years of austerity and new stricter benefits to control fraud, and you want more. End tax avoidance and loop holes with a fair footing for everybody. Flat rate for all.
-
Martyep74 (@martyep74) reported@StephenNolan @nipsa @BBCiPlayer P/1 👉 She is correct, amazes me ppl speaking about this yet haven't a clue what's happening 👉 the name and shame happened at same time as UC migration which is full of errors and untrained staff, a lot of people are getting done on benefit fraud through no fault of theirs and

-
Roy Thornton (@RThorn1) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Pity this is going. The people on just have not been the quality needed to watch. Alex is ok but some of the others have been poor.
-
Dave (@achetcase) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Turning off again now. Can not stand this stats and club history fanatic who just doesn’t commentate on the actual game. Worst football commentator I’ve ever heard.
-
Clive B 🏴 🕉️ 🏴 (@watertiger69) reported@BBCSport @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Quite possibly the worst game I've seen this season. 😴💤
