@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer first thing when there is a problem is to ask “why” then we can look at solutions…

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer The Ben Mitchell bashing is in hyper drive. I guess this is petty retaliation for Max Bowden not wanting to return to this **** show. I'm so glad the rating r plummeting every day. Ben Wadey is the worst thing to happen to this show.

@Andy___Douglas @vicderbyshire @BBCiPlayer If you had bothered to read her testimony you’d know that she couldn’t explain why she had gynaecological problems which she sought help for. What is your point ? She knew, she lied ? Why is it men like yourself need the victim to explain themselves? Andy Douglas, I pity you.

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

What’s going on with @BBCiPlayer app? It’s complete garbage…takes about 5 minutes to sign in 😠😠

@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.

@o_charmian29763 @bbcpress @BBCiPlayer Each to their own but I find her awful, totally unwatchable… those facial expressions. A terrible over-actor.

@antonydandrea1 @BBCiPlayer Took us numerous attempts to even log on then when we eventually got to the program it would only play a few seconds then start buffering. Pausing it for a couple of minutes seemed to do the trick. No problem with ITV.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Please get rid of Johnny, the actor is terrible.

@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer Band 5 ICU nurses fighting for years for band 6 pay - some with 20+ years experience - told there’s no money in the budget. Not saying MLA’s don’t deserve it but other professions are being left behind when it comes to recognition! & don’t get me started on our car parking issue!

@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

@StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer Buskers don’t bother me as some of them are very good to listen too. It’s the preachers I have a problem with. It has got way out of hand and I agree something needs to be done. Cant turn a corner without someone shouting about Jesus down a mic or forcing leaflets in your hand.

@StephenNolan @BBCiPlayer What’s even worse, our carers had their pay rise postponed yet expected to continue to work. Considering how broken the HSC is it would have been more appropriate that they were paid. More carers, better retention with better pay, fewer patients blocking beds unable to go home.

@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Elaine is being constantly written as a vile human, in the name of “comedy”. Her delivery and sarcasm worked when she was behind the bar of the Vic. Now she simply comes across like she doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. Writers Room, do better.

@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Nandy tries in vain to defend the indefensible as Labour kills hospitality. Employers' national insurance rises hit pay and jobs. The government offers no help to increase wages. Yet Reeves says no to levelling capital gains tax with income tax and launching a wealth levy.

@PaulaRossi47 @BBCPanorama @BBCiPlayer I will trade with you Paula…. You can take my 24/7 pain, my inability to walk, my fatigue and my other issues all whilst working about 50 hours a week and living on about 3hrs sleep a night. Be no problem for you will it??

@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer How many extra people have moved to the UK since 2000? Answer that and you’ve answered the reason behind the housing problem!
