Why is there nothing on telly apart from Prince Philip

[DogsAreShit]

... and how long is it going to go on for?

PBS America on freeview is one alternative.

Stop moaning and put Netflix on, I recommend the crown, 😆

I support it being on all day/eve on BBC1 and ITV but not the SAME programme on BBC2 , nuts, and I love the Royals

Is Zorba The Greek available anywhere?

Honestly, because if they don’t make a lot of solemn noise and ceremonial fuss — especially in Covid conditions, where the full funeral fanfare can’t happen — the realisation might dawn that having a hereditary monarchy in 2021 is a ridiculous anachronism.

Thank god c4 have more sense. Business as usual!

@QueenOfTheDoubleWide

How about because he has died after a long life of duty to this country and being married to the monarch? It's one day FFS! I'm sure he'll be replaced by the usual Ant & Dec, Strictly, etc pap that you seem to be missing by tomorrow

Hang on lads QueenOfThe DoubleWide has spoken. If you don't like the utterly pointless coverage of a celebrity's death, you're obviously thick.

Noted.

I'm just amazed how many people actually watch live TV. We literally only ever watch stuff on catch up or Netflix. We choose stuff we want to watch, never ever whatever happens to be on.

Netflix!

Nothing wrong with Ant and Dec anyway. You can win the ads!

@DogsAreShit

They'd better not cancel Ant and Dec.

BBC 4 is shut down!

It was the last one in the series last week 🙁

Oh no, really? Ah, shame.

I thought Ant and Dec finished last week.

Well, I want some actual news, other than that a 99 year old man has died.

I didn't watch last week's. Was going to watch it on catch up but then decided it would be unsatisfying due to the inherently ephemeral nature of such broadcasting.

For those of you saying it's only a day, not everyone is interested in watching 12+ hours of coverage and not everyone has other channels they can switch to

No other channels! The horror! What on earth else could you do with your evening? It’s like you’ve been lobotomised.

I can put up with things like the chase not being on, but what has annoyed me is the no other news.
Even the local news program was about PP, no mention of the local massive fire.
That is annoying.

Go and look in the mirror, when you see that person staring back at you, just as, why are you such a twat,

Well they did this when Michael Jackson died so I suppose it's the least they could do for the D of E 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wowzers

Again I hadn't noticed. I dont watch much terrestrial tv anymore.

Netflix and YouTube are your friends

@bonbonours did you give a tinkly laugh when you typed that?
