The antiqies roadshow tonight must be the only program on antiques no longer to show antiques but instead to try to be a pseudo historical program of the second world war instead! Not what i wanted to watch and a total misrepresentation of a program supposedly about antiques!

Regret for the removal of BBC Sound by a Brit living in France

I am a Brit living in France. Suddenly BBC sounds taken away replaced by this extremely limited boring 'service'. The only two radio channels "offered" run just like the old fashioned wireless!!
The world service is very boring and very repetitive ... and the other is v difficult to listen to... you have to match your own timetable to their programming. Incredible in this day and age!! The rest is nonsense padding - video puffs for Trump etc ( Trump promoting physical tests in US schools) and some Putin sponsored video puff about life in Russia !! Those items are while Russia is obliterating cities, towns, villages in Ukraine and massacring civilians. This BBC whatever it is is a waste of time and space. I go now to DW in English for news and intelligent well researched documentaries.
I am sad that "The Archers" are no longer available to me. Disgraceful mockery of onetime fans of the BBC

Apology to Kate Adie

Sincerest of apologies to Kate Adie, who I referred to in my last BBC review on Trustpilot, when I meant to write Lyse Doucet. Totally apologise.

BBC Sounds removed for international users

I am a 30+ year license payer, I moved to Denmark and use the BBC Sounds app, it is my saviour and connects me to home, I suffer with multiple mental health conditions and it has been a literal life saver.
BBC have now removed access internationally, so now I have to use bbc.com, which is a joke, 404 errors constantly, multiple clicks to access a radio show , if I receive a text or call I need to go back and refresh the page (mostly 404 errors)
From a smooth service app from a long time license payer to a frustrating, buggy, annoying website is unacceptable for such a world renowned institution.

EXTREMELY Bias

The BBC News programs are EXTREMELY bias. Not just at election time or the current wars in the world, but absolutely everything.

BBC News is disgustingly biased in its coverage of the horrors imposed on Gazans. Independent analyses have shown that the reporting is heavily skewed in favor of the Zionist position and that the suffering of Palestinians is downplayed.

There are many exposes of the upper echelon staff at BBC News being rabid Zionists.

Avoid this horrendous Zionist propaganda outlet!

The Biased BBC

The BBCs reporting of Gaza has massively exposed the hypocrisies at the heart of the BBC. The fact that they respond to influences and are very much swayed. It is clear that they follow the government line broadly. The BBC is meant to be a public service and meant to be for the people. But at the end of the day their purse strings are held by the UK government and that is clear in their coverage by not speaking out about the genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza.

When you look at the majority of the…

When you look at the majority of the negative reviews of the BBC on this site the thing that is outstandingly obvious is that these people are blatantly bias bordering on the fanatical which is why they don’t like the BBC’s impartiality. It doesn’t fit their narrow minded ideology and does not feed into their paranoia.
The BBC is owned by the tax payer and is the only mainstream news channel that actually goes out of its way to verify its reporting of major events.
Unlike many other channels that pay lip service to advertisers, the company owners or the ego of their presenters.

Many of these negative reviewers need to be honest with themselves and see how impartial they think they really are!

If I could give no stars I would.

If I could give no stars I would.

After witnessing the BBC’s ongoing bias in its coverage of Palestine, I’m sickened. There has been minimal attention paid to the bombing of churches in Gaza, the discovery of shallow graves where Israeli forces brutally murdered and then buried civilians in shallow graves and then denied it, when evidence was found and their lies were exposed again but no actions taken and no outrayby the BBC, and the brutal killing of innocent children queuing for food, the prevention of food, water, oil (war crimes ) , illegal occupation of land (war crimes ), the list is endless, yet there is no visible outrage from the BBC. Oh actually there has been outrage ‘death to the IDF’ the ones committing the crimes is where their outrage sits and imprison anyone that speaks badly of the war criminals. What a twisted corporation.

Instead of providing balanced journalism, they continue to sanitise the actions of a state accused of committing war crimes, while silencing or downplaying the voices of victims.

If you want the truth, turn to Al Jazeera and legitimate voices on social media — the real journalists who are on the ground, not writing from the comfort of their offices, but risking their lives to show us what’s happening.

It’s time to #BoycottBBC and demand that they refund us all for false journalistic- Bring in journalists who report facts, not fiction.

Biased reporting

I simply loathe the BBC now. Their news is utterly biased and they are totally against the Palestinians, it disgusts me. The fact that they are unable to broadcast programmes that show the reality of what is happening is totally unacceptable. If the BBC were to disappear completely I would be very happy - they take their subscriptions from every one of us whether we like it or not and give us no choice whatsoever. We're paying for propaganda. It should be got rid of. If it were to be got rid of, we would all save money and a lot of overpaid people would also be got rid of.

It's a sad day when the BBC can't give the reality of deaths of children and innocent people day to day in Gaza while stating on their news feed "Gaza:How to survive a warfare", a more accurate title would be how to survive a genocide.
Who is gagging the British broadcasting channel? The British people? I think not especially the majority. History will speak volumes to those who reported the accuracy of this horror that the BBC termed a conflict. The BBC have been the standard for western news broadcasting, I hope they can turn back.

I am so bored with the BBC

I am so bored with the BBC app. Its online news is shockingly anodyne, with very little in depth that is of real interest. The coverage lacks any solid, in depth detail. Things that should be in the news coverage are often omitted. The licence payers are being undersold. Among other news I'm not in the least interested in Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom separating, Jeff Bezos' wedding, or P Diddy's tarnished reputation. Where's the real news that matters, which licence payers fund, BBC?
