-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Phil took a massive risk in calling in a favour for Mark which landed Mark in debt in the first place so I can't see Phil helping Mark again especially when he's got Lexi and Nigel to think about. Don't think Sharon would want to help Mark either if she knew.
-
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
-
Tosh (@Thenaish1) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer Can someone help Helen understand the difference between adverts and trailers. Cheers. Please donate to help others on the internet who cant read or think. 🙏

Cat ❤️ saw xlov (@bubbleyoongz) reported@Pearson_Izabel @BBCiPlayer It's so annoying, the coverage has been terrible. Our skater is skating rn and I can't watch it!
-
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.
-
Tom (@TomTomlewis063) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer No one likes Johnny and the actor is terrible. Axe him now.

donna rawlinson (@jamieshawn1623) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer link dont work goes to facebook
-
James🇬🇧 (@Jam_mil73) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Easy. Cut taxation on all food produce at base lvl. Cut taxation on all fuels duty by 25-50%, this will cut costs and crash inflation. By reducing the first two, it’ll offset the third.
-
The View From Belfast ⚖️ (@CallumTheReds) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer If either a union flag or a tricolour flag is flying in a community that supports those flags - why is that a problem?
-
Ó Murchadha (@OMurchadha61) reported@Phantomthe55th @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer I don't wish to judge but, if you are a baptised Protestant who believes there are two Gods, you could be in serious trouble on judgement day. You are guilty of the serious sin of heresy. God bless.
-
sam___888 (@sam___888) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer terrible coverage of the mens figure skating final so you missed showing the gold medal winners routine and then even cut short all their reactions to repeat the skeleton footage on BOTH channels! awful coverage. #WinterOlympics #skating
-
melaniebelle (@melaniebelle808) reported@bbceastenders @BBC @BBCiPlayer Denzel brought bad medicine into the house. Now Yolande must find an Obeah man to fix this. And she won't find one in yellow pages.
-
Anthony Parry (@AnthonyParryUK) reportedSo @Google @BBCiPlayer please can you fix iPlayer on Google TV as it doesn't show anything in the continue watching rail of the home screen.. thanks 👍
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Bad idea ,she's been away much too long. Just like Zoe, it won't work.
-
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
-
konatona (@konatona1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer arsenal have problem
-
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
-
Les Bien (@BertSnazzle) reportedWhat’s going on with @BBCiPlayer app? It’s complete garbage…takes about 5 minutes to sign in 😠😠
-
crazy cat lady (@sutty56) reported@BBCCasualty @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer She’s the worst cast member in years , get her off the programme . Awful
-
Lucinda Tobyjug (@msloobylou) reported@Lowlandslady @BBCiPlayer That show is AWFUL!
-
Laura Phillips 💙 (@LauraPh222) reported@BBCiPlayer: The 1986 explosion at Chernobyl triggered a public health emergency across Europe. Forty years on from the disaster, @JordanDunbar10 travels to Chernobyl to examine the events that led to the world's worst nuclear accident and what we can learn from them today.
-
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.
-
jamie (@jamiethinking) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer The government just raised my council tax 6% wiping out any and all so called efforts they have made ! This labour government has broken everything
-
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.
-
Philip Colclough (@PhilColclough78) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems?
-
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.
-
Paul Reavley (@reavo81) reportedLiterally never watched the Winter Olympics and after having to endure the absolute dogshit broadcasting from @BBCSport and the @BBCiPlayer being the shittest platform of all time, I’m unlikely to watch it again.. No wonder everyone is binning the licence off.. Awful broadcaster

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