To be impressed that Holly and Phil queued to see the Queen

[DonnaBanana]

I saw on the news today that they both paid their respects. I know MPs got tickets to jump the queue which is fair enough given how busy they are running the country, but obviously run of the mills celebrities don't get that sort of treatment. We haven't seen many celebrities actually pay tribute given they wouldn't want to queue so long, so I was quite touched to see the picture of them walking through. True British gems.

I thought that. How does it work if you record on sky? Do they count that as a viewing? What if you delete it and don't watch? Sorry derailing now.

Yea I think that would count. Same as watching on catch up. But may be wrong

Aren't the ratings done as a group sample which is then calculated up? I thought I read years ago that x number have agreed to have something checking what they watch and that's a representative sample? Off to Google as re reading it that sounds like bollocks 😂

Omg I'm right. I think.

Apparently they attended for all those who couldn’t go.

Clearly the almost constant coverage was inadequate.

@SheldonesqueTheBstard aaaah we should have guessed they were doing it for us! Those guys, eh? What troopers.

Absolutely, BBC iPlayer 23 hours a day was clearly inadequate next to the peerless reportage of the Martha Gellhorn and Charles Wheeler of their times.

Only it wasn't.
