Tomorrow at 11… every tv channel that exists will be broadcasting the Queen’s funeral.
Except Channel 5.
If you tune in to Channel 5 on Monday at 11 you should expect to see the Emoji Movie.
hilarious or not?

Channel 5 is the biggest load of crap going. I dont even watch their crap budget Christmas films , a single woman moves to a new town with her child she meets a builder/ bookshop owner / coffee shop assistant who gets her name wrong all the time ..meets single / newly widowed dad ...insert rubbish story line here .... when they fall In love after much anst and live in a picket fenced home, drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows and Christmas twee nonsense wearing Christmas jumpers giggling while watching their child/ren and shes probably up.the duff .. rinse and repeat

I love a crap Christmas film.

BBC is covering the Queen’s funeral all day, except for Paddington 2. My oldest wants to watch the funeral and I cant figure out what time is actually starts among all of the coverage. I will be so glad when this is over.

Never watch C5 but will do tomorrow! Good on them.

I think it should be on every channel. She was the queen of England for 70 years. I think we should at least watch her funeral service and have some respect as British citizens. I’m not a royalist but I am aware this is a monumental moment for the country.

Lots of people will be watching it, but you can't physically force those that don't want to. It's not disrespectful not to want to watch a televised funeral.

EmmaH2022 · 18/09/2022 21:03

I read the title and genuinely thought C5 was closing.

Fraine · 18/09/2022 21:03

Every channel will not be broadcasting the funeral.

If you’re going to make up lies at least make them believable.

Why does it need to be on more than 1 channel? Those who want to continue to indulge in this insane grieveothon only need 1 channel to watch the funeral and listen to overblown bbc commentary. The rest of us should be left to watch bargain hunt in peace.

YABU
Not everyone wants too, or will watch, the Funeral.

Really 🤮

Thankfully we now have plenty of choice with streaming services and I don't regret cancelling my TV licence in the slightest.

Trinity65 · 18/09/2022 21:08

CapMarvel · 18/09/2022 20:25

Why does more than 1 channel need to show it?

Kids will be off, so seems sensible to give them an option beyond mournhub.

Absolutely

AnImaginaryCat · 18/09/2022 21:10

Is there also an option not to watch anything?

Or does everyone in the world have to watch either it or the Emoji movie?

MermaidEyes · 18/09/2022 21:11

EmmaH2022 · 18/09/2022 21:03

Me too, in fact I didn't realise Channel 5 still existed! Thought it went years ago!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/09/2022 21:12

that is a disappointment, i thought the whole channel was cancelled from your title
stupid title

Daffy7286 · 18/09/2022 21:12

Are you suggesting that Channel 5 should be cancelled OP? It's all a bit meaningless when streaming (thankfully) exists. I honestly can't remember the last time I watched broadcast TV.

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/09/2022 21:12

this is like some form of Clickbait

Huge relief isn't it not having a TV licence right now. I can't "accidentally" stumble on the BBC channels right now. Streaming all the way 👌

MrsLargeEmbodied · 18/09/2022 21:13

surprising though, channel 5 is always showing programmes about members of the royal family
thought channel 4 were more likely not to show the queen's funeral

MermaidEyes · 18/09/2022 21:15

Anyway, they're not just showing the Emoji movie...you can also watch Ice Age if you wish 😁

gamerchick · 18/09/2022 21:15

So it's still on then and not cancelled? Phew.

Not that I can watch normal telly anyway since I don't have it.

JemimaPiddleDick · 18/09/2022 21:19

I won’t have the telly on, I think I’ll have a long walk down at the beach

Elizabeth110100 · 18/09/2022 21:19

It's not the best movie really. I'm sure there are other movies they could have shown.
Why would channel 5 be cancelled? It still exists.

DarkDarkNight · 18/09/2022 21:21

It seems sensible to me. Some people have limited viewing options. There’s no need for the same thing to be on so many channels.

Choconut · 18/09/2022 21:21

I can't see Dave broadcasting the Queen's funeral to be fair, but I mean I didn't check or anything so maybe all 77 channels (or whatever it is) apart from Channel 5 are. Not that funny though.
