I would like to thank the BBC as to how they have respected The Duke of Edinburgh for the twenty-fours hours after his death was made known to us.
Some people have complained that they have missed the soaps, sport and other weekly/ daily programs which can be seen at a later date or switch to other channels.
I was very ignorant to many facts of his life and considering his life service to the UK and the Commonwealth, I think they couldn’t have done better

AcornFairy it’s not about hitting the off button it’s about having service completely withdrawn.

olddudders I am also living abroad. Fortunately I can pick British tv here, not like when I lived in Beijing in the early 90s, there it was government controlled and the local people did not know anything about was happening locally nor globally.

There are still places where what you can watch is government controlled. Would critical threads like this be allowed or was that controlled too?
