Think the BBC are getting slightly carried away with the coverage of the death of Roger Moore. They are almost seeing the natural death of an OAP as an equal story to the murder of 22 innocent people including children.

Sky News are also reporting, it's a big story but not on the same level as the news today, but still big.

I don't think a few minutes coverage of the death of a very well known and respected actor and Unicef ambassador constitutes them getting "carried away". On any normal day that would have been "big news".
Watching BBC One North West this morning, regional opts had a live into it. First time I've seen them do that, or any BBC regional Breakfast opt to be honest.
Seems North West Tonight were also updating social media overnight as were Granada.
is was Phil Williams by the way, just to give credit where its due. He did a stellar job considering the circumstances, calm and authoritative, avoiding speculation.
What did they do overnight? Did Rhod Sharp still present from the US?
Phil Williams stayed on a little longer after 2.00 to cover the press conference which was postponed in the end, I think Dotun Adebayo was the presenter scheduled to be on overnight and took over.
Phil Williams ran until 3:00 when they went to the press conference. After that, it went back to the studio and Dotun Adebayo IIRC.
Latest schedule changes:
Broken - new BBC ONE drama pushed back to next week. Repeat of Planet Earth II put in its place.
As far as it's concerned, the right decision.
Newsnight on BBC TWO has been extended for an extra ten minutes.
Newsround had Ricky Boleto live from near the Arena who also spoke to some local schoolkids, Leah Boleto with a VT and Jenny Lawrence chatting to a survivor.
The emphasis was on reassuring kids as they did this morning.
But, 4Music's flagship show Trending Live has had a slight change in format today, advertising those who want the latest information to go to channel4.com/news and follow Channel4News on Twitter, as well as advertising the Channel 4 News at 7pm. Trending Live has also silenced all of its social media presence today.
