Ive found out so much about him this afternoon,what a varied life he had, but I agree we only need a couple of channels covering it,but never the less some interesting things about him I never knew.

Yes The BBC has Failed today
by Duplicating the Same Feed on 4 Channels

BBC1HD
BBC2HD
BBCnewsHD
BBC Parliament

I thought we'd have seen a Matt Gaetz thread from you by now, but I'm not entirely surprised we haven't :laugh:

You waste your time on him.

no regular show should go through these times of sorrow

The BBC will not air anything but news on their channels today.

Ch4 cancelled Gogglebox and The Circle then decided to air them again 10 mins later :skull:

Ch5HD has Cancelled The Gadget Show

Its Gardening With Carol Lein at 7PM now

I thought no one watched live TV anymore :laugh:

Go on Netflix Arista

I only watch it for like 5 shows this days one being Gogglebox so I'm glad its not been cancelled but the BBC will not air Entertainment shows which could go into days so if they dare cancel LOD ill cancel my TV Licence

No I have Amazon Prime

I have news Channels on
Loads are not as DUMB as the BBC

CNBC
Bloomberg
WION HD
TRTworldHD
France24NewsHD

Emmerdale
Coronation Street


Both Cancelled

the bbc is the public broadcaster so they are expected to devote time to the event. Other channels are doing it for advertising revenue, and nothing earns bucks more than an event like this

Good On ITV1HD
doing Regional Local News at 6PM-6:30PM


No luck on BBC

Yeah alright Arista can we maybe stop turning this thread into the TV guide now

The only issue being is that the BC will get 90% of the viewers and with it airing all day nobody gonna really care for the other channels tonight so they will end up being worse off then had they kept original plans.

It is only royal protocol for the BBC to stop entertainment shows no other channel is obliged to do so

Yes but Not 4 Channels all THE SAME


BBC2HD and BBC Parliament
could be normal programmes

OK

Not being funny but none of those are UK channels so unlikely to be giving much coverage

Having watched The Crown, albeit fictional, it did give a good insight into their lives. Watching his life unfold today I think The Crown gave a pretty accurate account of his life and personality.

+1

yes, there is some artistic freedom in the Crown, but the facts are written in stone in history and they stick very close to them on the majority of cases


On a side note, it's a bit of a relief the Philip hung on for a couple of weeks after the M&H interview, if he had died a couple of weeks ago people would be baying for blood

Donald and Melania's message of condolence was nice.

I never watched that rusti,but from what I have seen this afternoon he really didnt seem as bad as some of the media made him out to be.

It's always was clear he had a good heart but he let his mouth get away with him and said things he shouldn't have done

Has the media ever made him out to be "bad"? All I've ever seen said is that he had a bit of a controversial sense of humour and liked his "edgy" jokes.

Hmmm....I dont know. I think people will feel angry that they had to deal with all that crap in the last few weeks of his life.

As per Kaz news media were always so quick to point out flaws but he was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather and he did many great things for the UK.

Oh yes it's the worst thing poor Philip had ever been through - a minor family tiff. Shocking stuff.

Well it was said that Prince Philip was behind Diana's death and that he didn't like her, from what we have seen today its, not so and its the opposite, seems he supported her a lot.

I think it took him a few years to adapt... I think Anne has many of his characteristics with her wit and sarcasm and I get the impression she was his favorite. She was made of sterner stuff...he wasnt one for weakness.
You really should watch The Crown...we only watched it this year and we really enjoyed it. As its been reported...he was a mans man and I think it was hard for him to play second fiddle to the Queen...he must have loved her and he made the role his own and as always we only really all learn all of what he did when he dies.

Yes I agree.

I didnt say it was the worse thing....and if you see it as 'a minor family tiff' then you really havent got a grip on family loyalty and how damaging hurtful accusations have on family relations.

It’s sad for the family but why am I subjected to listen to it on radio/TV? I couldn’t care less tbh,

To be fair, I would imagine most of the Harry and Meghan drama will have been kept from him. His health was obviously worse than was reported and I'm sure they will have shielded him from a lot of things.

Thats Fine
