CharlesWynfordLodge (@2hrTV) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews And you thinking this is cool, or amusing, or appropriate is part of the problem. It's bloody dreadful.
-
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.

Peter Jones ⚒️🔭🌍 (@innov8tor3) reportedThe saga of @BBCiPlayer on our @SamsungUK TV continues. Not swift and somewhat unsure, Samsung; 96 hours outage and counting. I connected via DMs, gave personal and TV details, and asked about timescales. No answer? Is this a kind of limbo?

Prof Ken Rollings, common sense affiliated media (@Kennyangel) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer There is the problem. They shouldn't be trying to govern us. They are there to Administer services of the state for the benefit of the population instead of themselves or their globalist masters

Steve Jones (@antoniosteve) reported@newswatchbbc @BBCBreakfast @BBCiPlayer BBC News wasn't the worst, by a long way. But they did contribute.
-
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.

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

Blaco Bass (@blacobass1969) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer He's the worst of working class people. What a ****, tax dodger promoting other tax dodgers. Absolute ****.
-
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

Nicky Hill (@nickyjanehill) reported@darrenjadams @anon_opin @BBCiPlayer Drives me mad!! I like auto play of the next episode of the thing I’m watching but I don’t want to watch Casualty or Waterloo Road. Ever. I delete from continue watching but next day they’re back. Terrible development team.

Tyke on a bike (@MelvinJCain) reported@BBCiPlayer U assume you don’t want you licence payers to use iplayer. I have watched it for years. Now it’s telling me to log in, log in. It’s not the correct password I create new password. Still cannot login The sooner the BBC loses its charter the better.

Ricardohx4 (@ricardohx4) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Vicki and Mark are terrible boring sad sack characters - they bring nothing new, they’re typical types that give the show its miserable depressing dreary life reputation it’s always trying to shake off.

Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Lauren is beautiful but a terrible actor, she either shouts or mumbles most of the time. And of course she has another disaster this week, she's always doomed!

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.
