"It'll get enormous tv viewing figures, betcha."

I don't know, viewing figures for the special Thatcher progs shown on her death, seemed to suggest the viewers weren't all that interested. I seem to remember someone posting them on this thread. I also seem to remember at least one special lagging behind repeats of something not very exciting at all.

However if they are going to televise the big glossy funeral show, I hope at least one TV station will have the gumption to provide an 'alternative' much as they do for the Christmas Queen's speech.
