Prince Philip like you've never seen him before!

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.

Not clicked that link yet please let it be You Suffer

my mum absolutely raging that according to the sky planner the BBC have replaced the entire rest of the days TV schedule to show Philip tributes and cancelled the final Masterchef which was supposed to be on tonight. seldom heard her so angry.

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.

prince phillip up at the pearly gates calling st peter an archaic slur

ffs they postponed masterchef?

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.

Oops, 82, sorry. Just starting out in the world.

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.

least weird thing i've heard about this fellow

Had his pick of navies to serve in tbf.

PM Boris Johnson has cancelled plans to drink a pint on Monday 12 April, as pub gardens are allowed to re-open, following the death of Prince Philip.

pour one out

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

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.

The one in the Mirror headline? You must book a place and pay a respect sometime

the Giles Fraser one

fortunately nowhere near my beaten track

This cunt took every opportunity he could to be a cunt.

The Times mentioned me in their obituary for Prince Philip. I'm not sure if first-year PhD student counts as "distinguished scientist", but you have to take what you can get. pic.twitter.com/0J3nT20ebM

classic british media: posh scumbag's confident ideological bigotry, empowered by a lifelong immunity from consequence of any kind, is actually some kind of brave iconoclasm, characterised by a willingness to go for the gag (which is simultaneously funny and risky and harmless and apolitical) despite the opprobrium of the PC police or whatever. exact same shit that makes boris a thing

"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.’
