-
S☀apnut (@soapnut48) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Ben Wadey has ruined this show, Michelle Ryan has been treated appallingly 🤬 Nobody can blame her for quitting, her stories and scripts are terrible. To axe the character permanently is just pure nasty and spiteful. Axe Wadey NOW.. the fans are angry 😤

Roy Thornton (@RThorn1) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Pity this is going. The people on just have not been the quality needed to watch. Alex is ok but some of the others have been poor.
-
Jerome Tucker (@jeromejazzy) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Just finished watching. For the love of god get rid of all 3. Oscar,Jasmine & Josh. They’ve taken acting to a new low. AWFUL!

Ralph (@Nasher1234589) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer It's the fading days of empire isnt it and their last marginalized group to kick and kill legally , the problem is them not us

Robert Stead (@SteadRobert) reportedThe @BBCiPlayer does my nut in, why is it so slow and dimwhitted. Just work for once. Every time I try to use it with my mum at the care home, sod all for 30 mins. @ITVX works like a dream.

Harumph 😾 (@lasagneinmyshoe) reported@bbceastenders @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer Please please please come up with better storylines than this. It had potential but these last few weeks have been so rushed to a conclusion that wasn't even satisfying just for the meme potential. EastEnders really is going down the toilet. Fix it please!

scottb (@scottb1103) reported@BBCSportScot @BBCScotland @BBCiPlayer best & worst day of all time following Scotland. Getting to Wembley was a “challenge”…saved by Dundee boys in a mini van!! Played really well first half & HT was brilliant. Guffs scored good goal but we would have won that game if pen goes in. McCoist should have taken it

bodypolitic3 (@bodypolitic31) reported@thelizcarr @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer I cannot fathom how these ghouls, determined to push this through despite all the problems, still think they’re the good guys. It’s evil.

Voluntarily Bald (@VoluntariIyBald) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews I’ve seen some ******* dreadful **** on this app. Truly awful stuff. This is now within that pantheon.

TV Fan (@BbukSave) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What an awful use of the license fee

Trevor Gibbons (@trevorgi) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCNews What a terrible idea. Real ‘cool’ uncle at a party vibe…

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.

David Jones (@DavidJones91913) reported@channel5_tv Dear Channel 5 I’m just discovering your wonderful collection of documentaries. I’m especially enjoying the history o Ed & the travel docs with Michael Palin & Alexander Armstrong….BUT…the streaming service is rubbish compared with BBCiPlayer or Netflix etc and keeps getting frozen. An error message comes up - try again later. But when I do same problem. It’s so frustrating. Any suggestions?!

Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer As usual ,characters looking at a problem the wrong way. Penny worried about Gina having to move out while surely Vinny in his 30s with money etc should have his own place that they can move to ?
