It seems not everybody was that impressed by the amount of time dedicated to his passing.

"BBC receives 1,350 complaints about 'excessive' coverage of Mandela's death"

Several friends on FB were concerned that, rather than concentrate on the number of people being evacuated thanks to the extreme weather parts of the UK was suffering, and perhaps passing on safety warnings, they preferred to repeat the same footage of people mourning in Soweto.

Obviously, I have no idea whether the concerns were valid.

Some people raved about it - watched it and couldn't believe the hype. It's like 70's slap stick comedy crap:thumbdown:

Silly me, fancy me quoting the 'wrong' newspaper.

Well for those who determine who they are, by what paper they are prepared to look at, its in the Independent as well.... and its even on the BBC. :)

UK TV comedy still has the edge - shite like Mr's Brown's Boys is doing its best to end it

Well as it was going to be the biggest storm surge in 60 years they were probably very valid.

I meant whether the concerns about the amount of coverage the BBC was giving to it were valid (you knew that though, didn't you :P)

I know at least 2 of them made complaints and neither of them read The Daily Mail.
