AIBU to be a bit peeved Corrie is cancelled 2 nights in a row...?

[Gin4495]

I know the reasons for this being cancelled, and last night, fair enough, but two nights in a row?

We're all adults and can deal with violence. It happens around the world every single day, not one day is there not something horrible on the news, but television still continues as normal.

Do you think it's a bit of an over reaction to completly cancel Coronation Street, perhaps a warning beforehand would have being more appropriate?

YABU and really really selfish.

Guess no one you know was killed in a random, pointless act of violence yday?

YABU. And a dickhead.

I think it's an overreaction to get upset enough about it being cancelled that you post to say so.

The incident just happened yesterday and it would be inappropriate to show episodes featuring shootings just 24 hours later.

have a heart

And be grateful that you're here to whinge about it because 12 people aren't.

I'm sure they'll show it in time but now certainly isn't the right time.

Erm...respect perhaps?

It's a TV programme...no need for it to be on.

really any need to call op dickhead?

I didn't realise it featured shootings.....I thought they blew the factory up! Oops!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not so upset I'm sat here weeping about Corrie cancelled, just thought it was an over reaction.

YABU

Well now you know. It really wouldn't make sense to take it off air if the storyline was about a factory explosion which is an entirely unrelated incident.

I can understand your post if you thought that was the case.

YABU, for wanting to watch Coronation street EVER.

YANBU! This sort of thing gets on my tits. Not wrt Corrie in particular, just the general business of cancelling/rescheduling/re-scripting fictitious works out of perceived 'sensitivity' to real events. Any minute now, they'll be taking all the books off the shelves whenever something happens that resembles the book's content.

...and what Disenchanted3 said ....

I don't watch it, so I've no idea, but my mum agrees with you, OP.

And deciding not to show the relevant news items! You know, just in case it upsets anybody.

With ItGraceAgain and OP.

Disenchanted - YABU, for wanting to watch Coronation street EVER.

Ha ha, I love Corrie!

I see you're familiar with hyperbole Grace.

And I have to agree with Disenchanted.

I don't get why they wanted all that violence on in btw a family show anyway
harry hill so much better

And showing Harry Hill is such a well recognised mark of respect...

I don't think Harry Hill had a bunch of shooting going on this evening did it?

(I wouldn't know, I've been watching a Sky plussed Hotel Inspector )

To be fair to the OP and others who agree I do doubt that anyone affected is going to be watching Corrie or really care about Corrie right now - but all the same its a mark of respect and TV needs to be sensitive to the mood of the country and I would rather they were over sensitive...?
