Three days after the election, speculation continues over whether a deal can be agreed over forming a government, as reflected in the BBC's newspaper review.
The Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail report that the BBC was criticised in newspapers and its own message-boards for spending thousands of pounds on its TV election-night party, on a boat moored near Parliament.
The BBC was criticised for the lack of women in its election night - and post-election - coverage, says the Independent.
The question of whether a deal can be agreed by the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats over a coalition government dominated Sunday's papers, reports the BBC's newspaper review.
The BBC won the election night battle for viewers, and Channel 4's alternative coverage beat ITV's, according to the Guardian.
