Not really surprising, a royal death will always dominate channels.

Even when he's been ill in the past, it's been the news story all day .

when diana died it was grim, it was just constant on every channel. The queen mum and margaret were different, and I think this will be the same as them

I understand that was the protocol when we only had three terrestrial TV stations, so why shouldn't it be the same now?

Because time's change.

Quite sad to hear this news. He certainly played a big part in the life of the country over a long time.

RIP.

I've not watched it but I imagine it is a heightened version of what really happened.

When you look around social media (like I do sometimes) it is obvious that a lot of Americans have got their view on individual royals from this show.

The referee on the darts isn't even screaming the scores out.

Usually he'll scream one hundred and eighhhhhty. But not tonight, he's just saying 180, quietly. I'm guessing this is down to the Duke of Edinburgh's death.

Yeah I wouldn't take it as gospel but it's a good show, I didn't think it would be something I'd like at all but I did

Tbf you don't need 4 channels covering the same topic.

One channel would suffice.

Hell of an age.

Just to clarify I'm genuinely sad for his family & friends over this news, and I honestly didn't have anything against him on a personal level.

I wanted to clarify this because my post above came off a bit too clinical which isn't my style.
