Regardless of the PM's statement being rather dull, it was still the Prime Minister addressing the nation. To shove it on BBC Two is a touch disrespectful.
TV companies shouldn't drop everything every time the PM snaps her fingers. They got the maximum audience tonight - had they switched the football to BBC2 their viewers wouldn't have had the choice to watch the news after the match.
The only knows stake they made really was staying too long on BBC2 - it should have been kept to just the statement.
I believe your opinion on the PM is clouding your judgement there, she’s still the PM. In any case they aren’t dropping everything as she made the announcement at news time. Let’s just say if tonight was one of those nights where ITV News at Ten isn’t at ten, we wouldn’t have heard the end of it.

No, minimum disruption for all viewers for a statement of nothingness. For once the BBC did absolutely the right thing.
