At least Prince Charles highlighted issues regarding the environment and architechture, but I hear Phillip did some work on conservation in his earlier life, which I wasn't aware of, and I just heard on the radio him talking about population growth issues, which i fully support. I only remember him as a late middle-aged and old man making inappropriate comments and some dodgy driving, like many older people.
Even 6 music and radio 1 have cancelled all their schedule and broadcasting tributes and documentary footage instead. They really don't know their audience, Couldn't they just say, if you are interested in hearing more about Prince Phillip tune in to radio 4, rather than playing the same thing across all bbc channels and other mainstream channels too.
Go read a book or go fishing. 
I don’t watch much news or listen to radio. My TV is my DVD box set or my radio is American podcasts on Rumble or YouTube.
We all knew the TV schedules will be out the window when this day arrived.
I could read a book, but fishing. I don't see much pleasure in putting a hook in a fish's mouth. Phillip would have liked that, he was a big hunter. Buying dvds is a very expensive way of watching tv. Most things are available on streaming services and you generally aren't going to watch them more than once. I've given most of my dvds to Oxfam, only keeping my favourites that I go back to. I don't think I expected all bbc channels would be blocked out for Phillip tributes. Do bbc4 viewers really want their channel blocked out for the night, most of them couldn't care less. There is nothing better than live tv though, knowing you are watching something that is happening here and now, knowing that millions are watching at the same time. How long is this forced national mourning going to go on for?
What is your definition of ‘expensive’ ? Since lockdown I have binged on a number of old American sitcoms like Coach, Honeymooners, Blue Collar TV, Soap, Jefferson’s, Bill Engvall Show etc. I have rewatched Wings and Simon & Simon. When I browsed at the streaming services I can’t anything that’s to my taste.
Is live TV actually still the truth there’s been a number of staged events and the media only go by their narrative.
I didn’t know BBC4 is blacked out for today, not that I actually watched it or cared. Wyot has pinpointed my life it’s both in the wilderness and civilisation.
Most box sets would be £20+ each, compared to a month of netflix or Britbox at £5.99 which contains 100s of boxsets.
Sometimes however they don't have the ones you want. I bought a boxset of Watching an itv sitcom from the late 80s/early 90s which isn't available anywhere else. Channel 4 seem to be constantly showing "King of Queens" twice a day, and the big bang theory which was funny for a couple of series, then just came predictable, getting cheap laughs from repeating catchphrases. Going back to Phillip fortunately they don't seem to have cancelled Saturday Kitchen,but no doubt they will be told to tone down any chirpiness.
£20 for a box set is okay for me when a concert tickets can cost that or even more, then there’s drink, travel or a hotel booking on top depending where I go. I never got in to Big Bang Theory the humour and characters I couldn’t relate to, personally nerds scare me.
How can any watch Saturday Kitchen all they do is laugh at each other crap jokes. I’m glad my house is out of middle no where and I can’t get a signal and Deliveroo etc don’t deliver here.
I leave my dogs watching this when I go out.  They seem to enjoy the non stop parade of food.

Oh, talking of rumours, In an interesting bit among the repeats on tv they showed Philip's family, and some of them looked just like Andrew, so I think the queen has been misjudged.
I wasn't aware of the Andrew rumours Honey. Does the above mean she has been misjudged as virtuous and shagged Phillip's father or brother? Or misjudged as a scarlet woman and only enjoyed congress with Phil?

Yep as is serial adultery; but for someone described endlessly over the past hours as Her Maj's "shadow" & "rock" this may come as a bit of a surprise to the Queen & Duke tea towel collectors...
And all children are welcomed and assumed to be the husband's even when they know they are not.

Well what do you expect, thats the way dna works, families have similar dna and some members display traits and others don't. Harry has red hair, but neither of his parents do, but Diana's brother has reddish hair. The gene for red hair is in the family,

I am sure it is rubbish.
I cant remember the details but I think Barney will.

Nobody mentioned Harry  but he IS very like Hewitt, who is very like Diana's brother. We very often choose partners like our family.
Harry COULD have been Hewitts, but he isn't. He is very like Prince Phillip.
