Great British Menu, for starters, as I'm a foodie!!
Plus, if you're a fan of the major soaps (not me, but MILLIONS are), all of those were also cancelled.
Now of course you can take the elitist view that such stuff is crap and not worth watching, and so nothing was missed, but the point is that some people like that stuff and shouldn't be deprived of it and have their FREE choices, in a supposedly FREE country, DICTATED to by the media for days on end, just because a member of the Royal family has died.
It's simply another insidious form of mind control (which Grant has touched upon), imposed by the system, which I abhor, regardless of my feelings towards the Royal family.
