What’s the point of sending her over then if she isn’t sticking around for the main event?

Peter Overton is copping it hard from Newscorp.
World loses it over Aussie funeral gaffe: An awkward mistake during Nine’s live coverage of the Queen’s funeral last night has gained worldwide attention.
ABC did well with the funeral for ratings despite the criticism it copped
I’m really surprised that ABC took the top spot. Thought it would be the other three FTA Networks
Says it all really.

I’ve written a short article to list some of the other codings for the funeral - not all obvious what some refer to.

But it seems the funeral will be near the top of the list of TV events this century. The AFL GF is to come and with Sydney participating it is likely to hit 4 million but not as much as the funeral.

I was just pointing out she was Queen of more than just England.
Is it known if Dickie (Nine’s guest) was invited to the funeral? Or did Nine just offer too much money for him to watch it with them?
Sydney in the GF will mean huge ratings

It was such a turn off when he mentioned Fergie and the toe sucking incident. There is a time and a place and this certainly wasn’t it.
Criticism from whom?

Don’t those sort of royal employees turned press commentators get ex-communicated when they turn to commentary?
Newscorp for too much coverage, not enough coverage and too many or too few employees in London.

Oh yes, I’d seen that earlier but not much about the funeral coverage itself. Bits I saw were pretty good and they seemed to cross to the BBC early enough.
Unfortunately got stuck watching with older somewhat conservative relatives who insisted we watch the cluttered screen nine coverage.

He does need to save face now so I guess we either believe his version or not.

There were plenty of examples on Seven where what was being commented on had little or no relation to what was being shown on screen. Well known faces like Fergie and other minor royals were entering but being ignored. It annoyed me that they weren’t supplied with a guest list or had the names of some of the European royals or foreign leaders and their partners at hand.
