Prince Philip like you've never seen him before!

He looked like some kind of Aryan cyborg at his wedding.

This is so much better than when the other Prince died.

Tbf since he's been dead for months we have seen him like this before

It was Prince Philip who said if he were to die he would want to come back as a deadly virus because there are too many people in the world. This is why we believe he died at least 15 months ago. pic.twitter.com/vgFB25MMZn

it's ok we can still see vanilla ice and chris isaak on bbc4 totp (according to iplayer tv guide).

Hopefully Talking Pictures TV will play a Sunday Night At The London Palladium as well and thus my weekend TV routine will not be affected.

ffs BBC1, BBC2 and ITV have ditched their entire schedules for the death of this old ghoul. Good job I never watch any of those channels.

I wish I hadn't read the phrase "Nicholas Witchell is having a cry-wank".

London Live has:

19:00 Prince Philip: An Extraordinary Life
20:00 My Greek Odyssey
21:00 Queens

I don't think the latter two have anything to do with Phil though.

imagine if this had happened during the Euros

during England v Scotland

The Queen's no spring chicken herself.

I'd put her on at half time anyway

Where are Germany playing exactly?

Sad that the queen’s eldest died. Tragic to lose a child.

Les Dennis has taken up this bit now that Limmy's retired it

I met Prince Philip in the 90’s when I presented some young people with their Duke of Edinburgh awards at St James’s Palace. He was charming and charismatic. Such a sad time for the Queen and her family. RIP.

BBC Radio 1 is playing back to back triphop / downtempo acoustic stuff with no presenters instead of the usual overexcited Friday drivetime show. Bump off a royal every week imo, some decent tunes for a change

Well maybe not 'decent' tbf

is anyone not mentioning the cargo cult thing in their obits?

What becomes of the blood boys they kept in the palace basement?

“They will be in grief-stricken mourning,” said Huffman. “There will be ritual wailing and also a series of dances that encapsulate parts of the island’s history.”

Wahé said islanders believe that Philip’s spirit “will come to Tanna” — and that the movement will continue with “Prince Philip’s successor, Prince Charles.”

Ah fuck, I just saw this and was all ready to be happy about it until the Masterchef thing.

Good point by @ayeshahazarika that the Queen & Prince Phillip’s marriage was a blueprint for modern relationships. I agree and very ahead of it’s sexist time as he was effectively a stay at home father. #itvnews

"modern" in the post-Middle Ages sense right?

Shout out to his family

“They will be in grief-stricken mourning,” said Huffman. “There will be ritual wailing and also a series of dances that encapsulate parts of the island’s history.”

From the little ive seen of uk coverage this does appear broadly correct

odds of a media scandal over certaian people or groups of people allegedly disrespecting the old dead piece of shit

lol at Twitter using his official title in Trending, rather than calling him Prince Philip

just read about the cargo cult. it's an offshoot of the john frum movement -- something i remember reading about in a book. deja vu.

ok, just saw the clip tracer posted with the chipmunk vocals supertramp song. dying.

Hard to believe he's gone, he was a sprightly lad of 84 when this thread started.

After being educated in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, he joined the British Royal Navy in 1939, aged 18. From July 1939, he began corresponding with the then thirteen-year-old Princess Elizabeth, whom he had first met in 1934.

What kind of a terrible person do you have to be for even Boris to refuse to raise a glass in your memory?

Checking my Facebook page, literally one person has posted about this, an Australian woman I work with. And no-one has replied to her yet or liked her post.

Good chance for Kieth to set down clear lines of distinction.

By insisting on a month of national mourning, a state funeral and the banning of the wearing of tartan in Scotland.

lol bbc4 have decided to pay tribute by showing absolutely nothing this evening , i was gonna tape the england game, but apparently watching football or old totp would be too disrespectful a choice to be given to license payers.

What does the royal family do for a living and why do n-words care about them? I want to care about mediocre white folks with teeth like xvxvx if it's fun. It looks fun. But I need directions.

kunt is right in there already, it's not as good as his Michael Jackson one

https://kuntandthegang.bandcamp.com/track/phil-im-missing-you-a-tribute-to-prince-philip

Civil servants and Ministers involved in ceremonial or other public facing events associated with the demise should wear appropriate mourning dress. This includes: dark coat, suit, or day dress; a dark hat and gloves are optional if appropriate for the weather; or dark lounge suit with black tie; dark overcoat if appropriate for the weather.

wtf programmes on BBC4 suspended?!?!? Privatize the BBC!!!!

Don’t they have approximately 26455374 documentaries on the Royal Family to fall back upon at times like these?

So what have? A black panel suitably descriptive?

(I'd look myself but it's all gogglebox here)

It's Dr Terror's House of Horrors for me.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/death-duke-of-edinburgh-tv-coverage/#/Notification

they've already made a page for you to complain about excess coverage

Departments communicating directly with the Royal Household should use black-edged stationery during the period of National Mourning on matters relating to demise. All other Government communications should be conducted in the usual format.

Sad that my bougie flats fb feed* has stopped shagging the royals once another woman and myself talked about how great his racism and teaching his kid to be a kiddie fiddler is. Where is the patriotism?

*Same feed basically accused me of being a terrorist last week for not loving the flag and tried to block me until they noticed they all like my dog

it always helps to have a handsome doggie when you are a friend of the terrorists

ffs I was just enjoying some Beethoven on R3 and then was hit with: "I wonder how many composers Prince Phillip met in his lifetime". Couldn't care less if he had a threesome with Winifred Wagner and Richard Strauss.

This is the best take.

The fun thing about the Duke of Edinburgh was the fact that he came from the great tribe of the Perhapsburgs, Europe's peripatetic aristocracy: always hunting down a throne, marrying it's own money, declaring eternal loyalty to whichever perch on which it can feather a nest>

"music to reflect Prince Phillip's love of the sea"

there is no escape from this ..anywhere.

it has been ridiculous, who wants this?

BBC Four was going to show an England Women’s international football match tonight, but has instead cancelled all programming. The BBC will however still show the match but it’ll be hidden away as online iplayer stream and not on a traditional channel as a... show of respect?

I don't know shit about the royal family but I think it's hilarious that you all apparently hated this dude so much

Just want to let all british ilxors know that when it comes to hating the royal family, we Americans may be amateurs, but it is still a part of our birthright, just as it is a part of yours. Cheering you on to the day when "this sceptred isle" loses its scepter holders for good.

FP'd you for racism

comrade aimless preparing the guillotine

if the england mens team had an international last night that the bbc had the rights to i'm gonna guess that they wouldn't have shunted it online.

it wasn't just that he was an old bigot, it was that he weaponised racist slurs in an attempt to seem relatable and friendly, and it shows so much contempt for "common" people that he thought the best way to appear personable and likeable was to talk like this to them. It hurts my head to think about how many vile comments he made that didn't come out, and yet he continued to live a life of luxury to the age of 99. Meanwhile 127,000 people (mostly from structurally disadvantaged sections of society) have died in the past year due the pandemic, with 1000 deaths in a day becoming background noise, and this bastard is going to get eight days of official mourning. It's sickening.

That's fightin' talk. Anyway some cast list in Dr. Terror's House of Horrors: Donald Sutherland, Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, Roy Castle, Kenny Lynch, Tubby Hayes(!)

Tubby Hayes was a man of many talents.. but I didn't know he did acting as well.

He didn't actually have any lines, he just had to blow some sax (and flute!) and pal about with Roy Castle a bit. It's a bit like Graham Bond showing up in "That'll Be the Day", a nice bit of casting!

I hadn't considered that BBC4 going off the air would lead to an influx of viewers to Talking Pictures TV, thank you Prince Philip!

Donald Sutherland, Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, Roy Castle, Kenny Lynch, Tubby Hayes

Donald the last man standing! He's even outlived the Pickled Prince Consort. Will he outlast the Queen herself?

The question now is how long will they keep this going for - will Line Of Duty be affected? 🤔

Oh bless you and your delightfully broken aesthetic sense imago

there's only one thing I'm interested in and that is watching basic coppers

Basic copper, is that like pig iron?

Why the fuck are all the leftists in my timeline and on ILX obsessed with a basic cop show

Lol, yes perfectly put tbh

I had a whole Maoist critique lined up but fuck it, never change dude

Tbh I've wondered the same thing as imago before but never said anything b/c I have no idea about the show really except that it involves police and lots of people like it.

Anyway, I am avoiding monarchist-fucked TV by playing Disco Elysium, which is very cheery and not at all depressing and nothing to do with cops in any way. Ahem.

Is the show great, or his being like this great?

He's not, it's Prince Edward

and his father not even dedinburied

Charles is Duke of Edinburgh now but it will pass to Edward when Charles becomes king, it says here:

In keeping with the Letters Patent issued when George VI gave Philip the title in 1947, the Prince of Wales as the duke’s eldest son, inherits the title the Duke of Edinburgh, but on Charles’s eventual accession to the throne, the title will merge with the crown and can be regranted anew to Edward.

Does seem a bit of a diss to the dead one that his title is eventually going to be a castoff to the fourth kid

If he was diss-able when alive, he's diss-able when dead.

"Tbh I've wondered the same thing as imago before but never said anything b/c I have no idea about the show really except that it involves police and lots of people like it."

Same. Obv leftists can like a cop show and not cops bcz it's just a show. Not that hard.

That tweet was funny -- and others I've seen on cancelling an evening's programming for a whole TV channel or radio -- as it seems like there is v little patience for it rn, what with coming out of a three month lockdown and having this shit thrust upon ppl. I like it as an indication of what we are just putting up with from the establishment, and how quickly it can all tip over. Obv it won't be this that does it.

When the Queen goes it will be 10x worse.

to add to the injury, her title will pass on to Charles

The overnight ratings are absolutely fascinating.

Total viewing was down by about 15% compared to last Friday.

ITV dropped below a million viewers in the 9pm primetime slot, which is almost unheard of.

At that point Ch4 had more viewers than BBC1, BBC2, ITV & Ch5 combined.

— Lee Thompson (@leethommo) April 10, 2021

The verdict is in: wall-to-wall TV coverage of Prince Philip's death was a turn-off for Brits, with major channels losing primetime (7pm-11pm) viewers compared with Friday, April 2.

BBC1: -6%
ITV: -60%
BBC2: -65%
C4: -8.5%

— Jake Kanter (@Jake_Kanter) April 10, 2021

Does not surprise me at all, since when has anyone gives a fuck about Prince Philip?

When Prince Edward dies they may as well not bother announcing it.

Some people say: well who watches live tv these days in the age of streaming etc. Those that haven't got a broadband connection will just switch it off if it is only playing shite!

See if they could hold on for another three days they'll be doing the funeral on the Queen's 95th birthday, not that much of a gift I suppose. Or...is it?

it's not like people were going out to the pub on Friday night either

By comparison, when Diana died I remember seeing a bank of flowers the size of a stretch limo.

Don't know why I'm surprised they've rolled Prince Andrew out for some quotes, maybe this is the start of a "public healing process" for him.

Funny you should say that but I noticed the news coverage on the day of the contained an unusually large amount of footage of Andrew.

Did they have any choice though?

Think there are a particular set of draconian rules they have to follow post senior royal death - all presenters must wear black, programming changes etc

oh I know they are just following protocol, but now they have had a lesson that the protocol belongs to another age.

"off-the-cuff remarks" - fucking virulent and unabashed racism. JFC. I'd honestly rather they didn't even mention it in their bootlicking obits than try to justify it.

(Obviously it would be better if someone actually called it what it was, but that seems unlikely to happen)

you know a journo/editor is feeling really brave if you get the word in scare quotes, attributed to others

It’s disgusting, can you imagine what would have happened to the person who would have responded ‘that’s a horrible, racist thing to say to someone else, especially a stranger.’
