anagain Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Okay, sometimes I have to admit I was wrong about some things, and as I know people have enjoyed admonishing me, this will come as a great shock. Someone on discord posted an image and it surprised me. Yes, the funeral is on adult channels. That's a bit bizarre. Looking through my planner I see all Sky channels; sport or entertainment, have the funeral. BBC1, BBC2, ITV and C4 have associated programs until 5 and the BBC then shows Paddington 2. Even Challenge and Pick seem to be breaking away to cover the funeral. I still stand by some things I've said but it doesn't need to be on every channel. I'm now half expecting Netflix and Prime to stop allowing streams except the funeral now. BT Sports are sticking to their schedule though. I don't blame the family...this is the TV. Also no harm closing shops for a day but I've believed all along that people should have a choice at home. I'd just assumed it'd be the main channels. People pay a sub for Sky, and it's not cheap. Good news though...Gold are showing Alf Garnet.... ...no, not really. Edited September 18, 2022 by anagain 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

anagain Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) Can always watch The Emoji Movie on C5. There are channels with normal coverage. Just surprised me how many are changing. I'll be in bed anyway...working that night. Even though I might have been supportive of some of this I doubted I'd ever sit to watch a funeral. Was surprised my work let me have the night off.

There is some in Brazil, but it doesn't dominate the news (and the Ukraine War doesn't dominate either), news here are focused mostly on domestic political stuff as we have elections in a couple of weeks, so that's where people are more worried about. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefly checking twitter, it doesn't seem like he has actually done anything illegal at all at this moment in time. So it's probably wise to avoid spreading rumours that have a clear homophobic agenda. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
