Media coverage of Prince Phillips passing.

[Edwardoka]

This is how I found out the very sad news.
I do feel sorry for aul Liz on a human level, but that's about it, I'm afraid.

BBC have gone waaaay too far now.
HOLY SH*T.....They have cancelled Tony Blackburn's SoTS .
A highlight of my week....0600 Saturday morning..... sat with my coffee while getting my fix of 60s music.
Criminal is what it is.

And you base that assertion on what, exactly?

I don't think all the licence payers are Royalists, maybe there should be one channel set aside for those that are?
I'm pre-booking my ticket to Mars for the departure of Liz.
If this death is bad what will it be like when she pops off.

 

[mudsticks]

I've never seen it either.

Worth a watch - funny, sad, and car chases too!

I don't understand why it's necessary for the BBC/ITV to dig over whats happened for, when I went to bed last night, over 11 hours, what on earth do they discuss, I'll put money on it that there was a piece of film on loop, that kept repeating, whilst the discussion also went round in circles, I think licence payers deserve a refund for this, removal of service, every BBC channel, including radio stations is disgusting.

Remember that the current DG of the BBC is a Tory, installed by a right wing nationalist flag waving government. They want to either control the BBC or do away with it altogether so don't fall for it and start hating on them, that's playing into their hands.

Good point.

TBH I'm quite enjoying the wistful music on 6 right now.

Makes me want to put on a long coat, and go wander the heaths having deep thoughts

The BEEB have got this so, so wrong, they have 24 hour news channels for this purpose, not EVERY channel they have, thank god for Netflix, Amazon Prime and all the unaffected channels on Sky TV

Huey at 4am is good too if like me you suffer from insomnia on occasion. We now have 6 Music playing sombre music with Mark Radcliffe soloing. In all seriousness I am sorry to hear of his death, but it wasn't the most unexpected thing, and he himself is on record as saying he didn't want a fuss.
Pleased to see that this thread has now passed the main Phil Died thread. Says something about its mishandling.

Saturday mornings is usually, Radio 4, this morning Radio Paradise is providing a very pleasant alternative.

If people's life is governed so much by television its time to re-asses in my opinion, put something else on or do something different!

Get a grip!
