ITV, Cumbria, and Coronation Street - WTF?

[paddyhasneeds]

Just looked at tonights TV schedule and it would appear that at 7.30 ITV are showing a special on Cumbria and "Life after Death", followed at 8pm by Coronation Street "How many lives will Tony destroy in his quest for vengeance?".

I'm not moaning/complaining at ITV showing Coronation Street, but my god that seems like a bit of a crass bit of planning?!

[Cara van Man]

not really...they are showing the stuff they postponed last week in the direct aftermath.

Or so my wife tells me

[working class]

PH'ers watch Coronation Street?

Really?

[4sure]

Oh Yeeeeesss !

Stop asking questions you have found on Google

Um, on topic, I think it's far too soon to show this! They're only having the first funeral today and it's putting some emphasis on the fact people were shot in the face.

Not good timing IMO.

I don't need Google, unlike some I could mention......

And yes, you were correct...his girlfriend used "Stardust Lil"......

[Balmoral Green]

It does seem bizarre that having not shown it last week because of the killings, they then choose to show it directly after a programme about the killings. A poorer decision than pulling it off air in the first place IMO.

And how many time has that factory been burnt down?!

[13th]

OFGS It's FICTION!

[4sure]

oh no its not.!

Damn insensitive programme scheduling though, I'm sure it could have been edited more sympathetically.
