Les Bien (@BertSnazzle) reportedWhat’s going on with @BBCiPlayer app? It’s complete garbage…takes about 5 minutes to sign in 😠😠

LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Who cares. Awful tedious storyline

Jay Wood (@ProudBritish38) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer bring back Jay.. I'm not saying what Jamie said wasn't stupid, cruel or straight up being a ****, however, he said 1 word, and then regretted saying it. Look at other actors and actresses that have done stuff throughout EastEnders history 1. Leslie [***** Den] killed a german taxi driver, whilst not recent nor whilst he portrayed Den the truth about Leslie would soon show. Leslie played the character of Den for years after that revelation. 2. Jessie [Kat slater] has assaulted Police officers. 3. Steve [Phil mitchell] alleged domestic issues. Whilst the show wouldn't feel the same without Kat or Phil, love them or hate them, Jay/Jamie did **** all wrong in comparison to these three.

Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Lauren and Penny scenes have been great recently. I hope Lauren does end up buying the Car Lot. Jay should've never have sold it in the first place and that's something he would never do if he was still here. Can't wait for Lauren & Priya to work together. #EastEnders

Arty Bow (@arty_bow) reported@BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer …then we get 10 minutes of him lecturing us like we’re teenagers because we can’t work it out for ourselves. BBC documentaries used to be superb. Even the average ones were twice as good as this.

Edward william (@EdwardW16351) reported@StephenNolan @JamieBrysonLLB @BBCiPlayer Who’s having the worst bad hair day , little Jamie should give it up, , the flags 🥱 that won’t change

Sara Foster (@musomusings) reported@EnarialP @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer They do need to work on their algorithms though - if I’m about to watch a film about Emily Brontë, do I really want to see a trailer for FA Cup coverage?

Moto Man (@KevCawley) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCiPlayer I commented on the first episode how dim they all are, out of curiosity I watched the 2nd episode FML Alan, you’ve certainly got your work cut out with this lot!
-
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
-
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

wbd (@chazul11) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer What we’re dealing with is a woke academic who is again using this falsehood toxic masculinity! These are yobs and the problem is ultras and the entitlement of Celtic football club who due to victimhood believe they can do what they want and the issue is the reaction only
-
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!
-
Shantilal Patel (@PatelShant84519) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer I get my present and I still could not get a place the council wouldn’t help me. I was on road for two weeks, but yet these people come in and they get a nice four star hotel three 3 meal a day what a ******* joke
-
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

Colin Brown (@Colinbr87729419) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer The BBC has been terrible in recent months, it shares opinions and rumors rather than the facts, very disappointed.

Siobhan Mc Dermott (@gallonupper) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Loads??? No it's about 10 people. Distraction bs as usual. This issue is simply not affecting the majority of us. Your childish antics and your same callers day in day out! Norman & Brian 🙄 impossible to listen to for anyone with a bit of common sense
-
Mik Lote (@Mc_Lote) reported@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Pavement parking is an issue. Local government needs to review pavements not just concentrate on fining motorists who are trying to keep carriageways clear. Pavements vary in width across all authorities without rhyme or reason. A metre could be taken off many pavements.

Tom Parker (@oldschool454) reported@SamsungUK Please can you tell my why I keep getting error code 02100 when trying to play @BBCiPlayer on my Samsung TV? I have googled problem and done every suggested fix with no success. Please help!!

Benny H (@BennyH391512) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system

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.

BrummieGirl (@takethe_highway) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Its soap. Actors leave, characters move on etc. But if you want this pair to work these guys and the writing are gonna have to work on selling it a lot better than is currently happening.
