  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer This funeral show was extremely well done. Not too sobby…well acted and well written. Thank you for a good show. On the other hand..the stupid car bet , as if selling a car turns anyone into a cash cow. Characters buy property, cars etc with no problems but can’t afford a bap

  @bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The show is on the verge of going all gangster again, which is why people turn off in the first place. Why would you want to undo all the hard work you've done to go backwards?

  Anyone else having problems with the @BBCiPlayer app? It's freezing all the time and useless on live streams for the #worldcup

  @Carl_M79 @BBCiPlayer Loved the novel back in school but that drama is terrible, best of with the old movie

  @danny_robins @BBCiPlayer I just finished it and it was a fascinating watch. But I can't help thinking that even as a 12 year old, Janet may have had some knowledge of The Exorcist, which came out in '73, I think, and may have been acting out with that in mind. Know it doesn't explain everything.

  @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.

  @justalazyguyy @piersmorgan @BBCiPlayer I just woke up at 5.45, watched the game. Now getting ready for work. Not so much sleep missed.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I don't feel the urge to listen to a pattern matchers idea of some of the worst people to live.

  @bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer it was Chelsea fault telling a 4 year old to go home on his own she is one selfish and irresponsibly she a terrible mother

  Shannon 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨💞 (@Shannon79053723) reported 38 minutes ago

  @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.

  Alison Maitland (@alison_maitland) reported 38 minutes ago

  @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.

  Watching some of these World Cup highlights from previous tournaments on #bbciplayer you realise how awful David Seaman was for #England #FIFAWorldCup

  @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.

  @bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Probably the worst Question Time I’ve ever seen. Total trash 🧐

  @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.

  @bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer **** off with this shite and **** the BBC. Who’d have thought it would be them who would platform this grifter to help her cause. I’m shocked I tell you. #defundtheBBC #dontpayyourtvlicence

  @GMNonLeague @BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Sounds like a major Own goal we was only talking in work about the days when you could watch a game a few hours later without knowing the score.

  @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!!
