The Duke of Edinburgh has passed away

[Jebber]

Viktoria, are you suggesting that old people don't like sport?  Pheno

This old person doesn’t like sport

They would be better to have a dedicated channel for sport, rather than cutting out the programmes everyone else want to watch.

I like sport  I still hold my football  season ticket when we get back again tonight I'm watching Gadgets team on TV winning 1 0
I will be at Prince Philips funeral from my sitting room watching on TV
I still feel for the Queen he has been by her side for all those years

Elizabeth and I are - BT Sport 

There are also a range of Sky Sports channels. In fact there's not much sport on the freeview channels these days.

PS - HRH really enjoyed his cricket 

[Viktoria]

 Not all old people of course but many ,especially women .
My OH died aged 83,loved footie,rugby  cricket  ,billiards and snooker .
I like Rugby( it’s the legs!) and whilst I don’t fully understand all the rules -,Cricket.
Many ladies do not however and sometimes there is not much else on .
As has been said,a dedicated channel would be the answer .

Viktoria.

There is a choice though for Sports/non Sports programmes and it was the lack of choice, albeit only for one night, that some people had objections.

It wasn’t disrespect for the Duke and the Royal family, it was the same item being broadcast on all available channels.

I agree, at one point I turned over and thought my remote wasn't working as the programme stayed exactly the same. By the evening it was the same thing repeated several times as well.

We just have to go with it, it won't last forever, it has happened before so let's just go with it and be patient for a short while

I feel people should just accept what the BBC are doing, this is not the time to complain. It is the same as all the fuss about Harry & William, let it be. There will be plenty of time to complain but now is not the time, it is not the Queen who is behind this but it is her Majesty who will be most upset by such complaints.

I suggest do not complain now what has happened has happened, the time to complain is a reasonable time after the funeral when things are reviewed at the BBC. Then the complaints should be addressed directly to the BBC where is will be seen and not on forums that the BBC will not read.

What has happened to human compassion?
Cheers

I wholeheartedly agree, it is not the time to cause more problems for the Queen who has enough on her plate, no doubt she reads the papers and it has been written about in every paper .
