Here's how BBC One broke away to the News Channel inbetween the junction of Question Time and This Week.

I'd like to see a recording of this from the News Channel too if anyone recorded it.

TVN posted:
Uri Geller just hung up on Tim Wilcox, obviously very shocked at the news


He pretty much did the same on Sky News, quite clearly upset he said he refused to go on.

Can't believe the News, just a total shock.

I wonder if WNA will broadcast as usual on the News Channel?

Chie posted:
They've just shown the clips of Jackson dangling his child over a balcony as well Rolling Eyes

why the rolling eyes?

I think that perhaps Chie was trying to indicate that the baby-dangling episode wasn't an appropriate sequence to show during such a short obituary sequence. It's hardly the defining aspect of Jackson's life.

Another newsflash on ITV1 now, confirming Jackson's death.

EDIT: Back again in 30 minutes. Anyone think they'll keep Alastair on for the News at 5:30?

Any previews of the paper front pages yet? I guess it came in too late for the first editions, but should make later editions, especially if they "hold the front page".

Browsing the main paper websites most seem to cover it, except the Daily Star and The Sun.
