-
Andy P (@frjack) reported@NordVPN I used to use you, but about a year ago your system stopped working with bbciplayer. Is this still an issue or did you fix it? I ask as my renewal is up again
-
Miss B (@jbjayb) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Fiona Bruce is an awful presenter
-
Zippy (@zippyyu) reported@StephenNolan @BBCNolan @BBCiPlayer Our airport has no problem worshipping one
-
Jonathan TUTOR (@therealslimsta) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer I wouldโve liked the same characters from Detectorists but set in a different historical period like Blackadder. Iโd like to see Small Prophets series two. Maybe Clia had to go work for Santa as she disappeared on Christmas Eve.
-
Brian Whelan (@brianwhelanhack) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews awful slop. but also, three of those guests would never have got onto a show like yours during their lifetimes
-
.. (@_lg_1972) reported@EnglandRugby @BBCiPlayer I think barring 1 or 2, this is the worst squad and management I've seen for many a year
-
๐๐ฅ๐ค๐๐๐๐ก๐ช! (@ItsKempy_) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer He is an awful character already! Can't stand him
-
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!
-
M (@MustBeMam) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Other parties should invite this woman to tell them what they can do to help. SNP need to be stopped. They are ruining our schools.
-
Simon Gallagher (@SiGallagher) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews So, in using the license fee for this ****, youโve just opened yourself up to legal action from people who do not wish to have this drivel forcefed to us. Great work
-
Paul Duerinckx (@drinckx) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews Terrible, though they all Looked more realistic than Fiona Bruce.
-
Trevor Gibbons (@trevorgi) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What a terrible idea. Real โcoolโ uncle at a party vibeโฆ
-
FilmChampion (@PanopticalDream) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews You should fire all the people who made and signed off on this and they should never work in the industry again.
-
Andy P (@frjack) reported@NordVPN When I last renewed my VPN you werent working with bbciplayer - at the time i was told (by your customer service folks) that there was a problem. Is this resolved now?
-

Sir Stick Your Kung Flu Passport Up Your Arse, KG (@NaahWoke) reported@bbclaurak @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I think the public are no longer accepting these graceless PR-coached attempts to rehabilitate people's careers. Schofield's didn't work. Huw Edwards' one isn't working. And now Sturgeon's is only going to raise people's hackles even further. Have a bit of dignity, Nicola, and just go off and live a quiet life.
-
Shannon ๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐โ๐จ๐ (@Shannon79053723) reported@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.

-
Dave (@achetcase) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Turning off again now. Can not stand this stats and club history fanatic who just doesnโt commentate on the actual game. Worst football commentator Iโve ever heard.
