Prince Phillip passes away.

Even the bloke doing the weather on the BBC is in a black suit and tie.

I had to laugh when, at the end of a song, Ken Bruce reiterated that the prince had died and said, “There will be further updates on the news bulletin at 6 o’clock.”

He’ll still be dead!

You do sometimes wonder if they know the script they've been given sounds stupid but they're naffing well going to read it anyway...

One of the rare occasions when tributes genuinely 'pour in'.

Including from two American presidents and the prime minister of India.

That probably represents about half the population of the free world.

Not bad for a bloke with an artificially created position in a tiny island.

RIP to one of life's characters.

They’ve screwed up Radio 2 as well, playing sombre tunes throughout, interspersed with Ken Bruce speaking in hushed tones. FFS.

Radio 4 replaces The Now Show (Friday Night Comedy) with a Prince Phil special.

The Prince Phil special will probably be funnier.

I know. It's not like he'll go all Timelord & regenerate.

The 11th Doctor (Matt Smith) played Phillip in series 1 and 2 of the Crown, so there's precedent there.

It makes no difference to my life in the slightest. Super privileged wealthy person dies because of old age. It's sad but I never knew him.

there goes Gardeners World?).

That's just about the only decent programme on the BeeB at present. Everything else is carp or repeats, or the loon trying to sail his narrowboat to Birmingham. No wonder he couldn't get a proper job.

Radio Scotland has been roped in as well but what’s really pissed off my wife is there’s no Gardners’ World tonight.😡

Gardners’ World tonight

Preceded by Paul Murton. OK they are repeats but watchable ones. It's gonna be a long night.

If he takes any more footage of starting/stopping his engine I swear he will be steering his effing barge bending forward.
