Nick Witchell is essentially telling people to expect it now, and the tone has suddenly shifted.

If it doesn't exist now, they probably are going to deal with that theme soon.

They kept the Nine O'Clock News dark look when it came to Diana, should try and do something similar.

I was told by someone working that night that it wasn't an editorial decision to use that background, it was just that the scene-shifters weren't in that early so they had to keep the background panels up from the night before.

There was also a documentary about royal palaces tonight on BBC Four that has also been dropped.

Of course, this all goes beyond news programming, presenters and pundits on BT Sport's Europa League coverage this evening all in black, for example.

Bloody hell Huw!

Yes I jumped at this moment also!

I'm bracing myself for bad news here, extremely sombre mood. I've got Radio 2 on here and the music feels a bit slower than usual (slower tempo)...

Did it? I don't remember any suggestion this wasn't heading the way it's obviously heading.

Regional News on BBC One is now rescheduled to 1900... they'll probably end coverage on BBC One by then~

Will they?

I’m not so sure why they are doing the rolling coverage - having stuck with BBC1 it’s been waffle for a while.

I do think it would be better if they broke into normal programming when the time comes, rather than all this news about nothing.

I know some may disagree but I think Yalda Hakim’s tweet is a sacking matter. Not only was it deeply offensive, but it was hugely unprofessional a) for not checking the facts but also b) even if it had been true it’s not for her to announce it, it’s for the proper channels.

It's not for people who stay there all the time, but for people in general who pop up on the channel, even by chance.

It's clear it's a top news, and BBC One is the national channel par excellence
