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.

Pól Míchéal O'Slatraigh (@PSlatraigh) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I predict both will vomit when they realise what they've done, but Patrick did say to Oscar in the flashforward that he was with a Truman now, so unless he and Jasmine somehow manage to reconcile, maybe this pair manages to work it out?

thetodd (@thetoddy111) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer As if ANY of them are any better As if we could have faith in them Theyre ALL awful We need a total reset doubt it will happen Dont trust this lot either

Kev Wrigley (@KevWrigley) reported@Woodarmyfc @I_amMukhtar @BBCiPlayer no mate, you're just being ridiculous. Not every person at the BBC is a scumbag **** apologist. But in taking that myopic attitude you've ended up making assumptions using the worst example, one of the key people in Savilles downfall. Stop being weird

Adam (@FIWCHAMP09) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ravi and Mark could work together to take them down, Why does Mark want to be involved in dealing? Need to meet their boss soon Vincent or Fatboy

Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Priya is a big part of his problems because she is enabling him, always playing down his bad behaviour etc. as just now. Neither of them seem to get that actions have consequences.

Philip Colclough (@PhilColclough78) reported@Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer First world problems?

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.

Terry Finn QPM (@Zibatsu) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer Small Prophets is not a patch on Detectorists. I seem to be in the minority. Really can’t get behind the hype of SP. Detectorists however, pure quality.

Lorraine (@LORRAIN25481106) reported@bbceastenders @BBCiPlayer Awful storyline and writing = awful acting from everyone involved.

Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Bad idea ,she's been away much too long. Just like Zoe, it won't work.
-
Jonny Payne (@jonnypayne23) reported@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer You can’t be intimidated by a flag. You can choose to be offended but that applies to anything. I could choose to be offended by terrible architecture. Doesn’t make it illegal and should be bulldozed

robbie does stuff (@robertbegg_art) reported@IKnoTheTruth2 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer ...that is generally the goal of adverts, yes. their success rate isn't really the issue OP is complaining about

PC (@PGUK78) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The decor is so awful.

Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer We all know the marriage isn't going to work out! What about Joel and Zack??

Booba (@dolfingray) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer If they are entitled to them then what’s the issue? You know you are punching down here Stephen? People with disabilities and conditions having to justify themselves to you and your sensationalist reporting. Poor form.

Martyep74 (@martyep74) reported@StephenNolan @nipsa @BBCiPlayer P/2 👉 people getting into debt because of errors, cases of people having to pay back housing benefit because mysteriously the HB money disappeared during the migration, so SOMEONE or some landlord/gvrmt body has got extra money by forcing the Tennant to pay instead of

Collin G. Woodstreet (@LastLegsFC) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Acting work dried up?

LouBen 🎀 (@Bekola1975) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Surprised there's no STD problems in EE. So much bed hopping!

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?
-
Richard Speight (@Pollos_Enanos) reported@scottspeig @BBCiPlayer It will be a rights issue. Sky+ (or other DVR) and then watch when you like as I did.

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

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.

Christian Edwards (@smile_out39443) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer This afternoon's commentators on Si Jiahui v Hossein Vafaei are awful. Snooker is an interesting game. This pair are better off on mute
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Either way this is such a terrible twist for all involved and I wish that Penny/Vinny Gina/Harry can be happy without this totally unnecessary twist. This is going to create so much unwanted drama and tension for everyone involved.

Andy (@Andy63473458597) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer What a poor game, Ross County proving they are worst team in the division and Colin Steven proving he is worst ref in Scotland.
