No, not interested.

No, I rarely watch television and I will have better things to do.

No. I’m ashamed of him.

Not sure, if I do I'll be necking a bottle of Gaviscon in the breaks.

Yes, I will watch...always been fascinated with the Royal Family....

Pantglas could have written that myself. I have no faith in anything I read in the newspapers. The headlines are click bait and the articles slanted to match the various press agendas. Venom and vitriol pours from social media from supporters of the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family. I do feel though, that the interview will obviously be designed to favour Meghan, and the way the Royal Family do or do not respond will be paramount. I don’t think either side will emerge without fault.

I will probably watch it, with reservations as to the wisdom of the broadcast. I hope that having carried it through, we will hear less of the grievances. Let them get in with their lives, they have chosen the path they wish to take, the matter should be closed.

To be honest it’s not something that would even have been on my radar. But I’ve been fascinated in recent days reading several lengthy threads about the topic and I’ve been drawn in by all the free publicity Gransnet has provided. So yes, I’m going to watch it now out of curiosity!

I’m not going to watch, I’m simply no longer interested in anything they do.

No good can possibly come out of it for anyone, why will they never learn?

I agree Pantglas. How can one comment without having seen the body language, the expressions and the gestures for oneself? The words might just be a load of hot air and even a transcript might not tell the whole story.
And yes these interviews always end up badly in the long run.

Blimey. That interview must have sold over and over again! Quids in.

There's a taster on Ch5 at the moment which started at 9pm.
I've got the bloomin' yawns already grin

I don't know. I don't want to as I'm not interested in this allegedly publicity shy yet attention seeking couple. However, Pantglas2 makes a good point about seeing exactly what is said rather than what might be reported later. So. I still don't know! Sorry.

Obviously, the Oprah interview with the Sussexes.

I will because I want to hear it straight from the source rather than media spin/interpretation so that I can comment later on what I saw and heard, when discussions start up as they surely will.

However, I don’t think they should be doing an interview at all (I felt the same about Diana and Charles interviews) these things end up backfiring against them.
