Can't you put a movie channel on Gins, they're not all about births, and I think channel 4 has Kirsty Allsopp on, or was earlier :-D

It's the build up to seeing the Royal Baby didn't you hear the roar when they did appear, from people who had been standing for hours and hours as for being on TV well it's a couple of days out of a year so make the most of it . If not wanting to see just switch off .

Great idea Gins - it would appeal to both the mildly interested who could tune in when they wanted and the obsessives - everyone happy :)

When you turn on the tv, every channel is about the birth and a 'door'.....that's not 'objective' or interesting tv

Why not have 'The Royals' tv channel? People seem to be interested enough?

I've turned on all terrestrial and other......all about the birth

Well done Kate....you had a baby

No need to shut your gob Mersey, we all like different things, bit bit boring if we all liked the same stuff. :-D

As I have said I think the birth of a future king is an amazing bit of history...its been an amazing time for the lovely couple and also in GB.......

I for one wish them well in the future, just think it was abit of overkill

I'll just shut me gob!!

When there's something on I don't want to watch, I turn it off Mersey, so I never look at anything on TV that I don't want to, but to be fair I don't watch much TV, so it makes no difference to me if something is on or not, there's nothing ever on that I just have to watch, if there's something I fancy watching and I'm busy I sky + it.

I so love watching history in the making, so all the pomp is right up my street. When I was working at the Olympics, I met so many oversees visitors who were blown away by all our history, they can't get enough of it, I just feel lucky it's my history :-D

All those living in the UK getting fed up just think about the USA they are more excited then we are and its not even theirs :-|

GOOD

Absolutely agree with you Dizzi!

Dizzi - William is and always has been protective of his wife.
He will be the same with his son - he will not let the inner circle of Courtiers dictate to him.

They have done their duty - showed off their lovely baby and let the media back off and have some private life.

I WONDER HOW FAR AHEAD HIS LIFE IS PLANNED,
NO ORDINARY PLAY GROUP,
PRIMARY SCHOOL,
AND THE WORST THING EVER AT WHAT AGE
BOARDING SCHOOL.

I'M NOT AGAINST THE ROYALS,
I JUST HOPE HE IS TAUGHT THE THINGS
DIANA TAUGHT WILLS AND HARRY,AND ALLOWED
TO BE A CHILD,,AND BE WITH HIS MUM AND DAD
FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE,

OH and I laughed at our new Prince busily practising his Royal Wave. Bless him.

I sometimes wonder if these reporters have any common sense left at all but then the celebs leave 2-3 days after birth looking so unnatural - at least Kate looked as if she had recently given birth, tired, glowing and surplus skin in the tummy area!!

Well, it detracts (or does it) from the real world ;-)

Yesterday morning, it was rather difficult to find a news channel which didn't have constant coverage of the front doors!

It wasn't as if it was a fast moving event..she'd been admitted in the early stages of labour. Break into the programmes and go live when there was something to report, but don't bore the rest of us ridge watching paint melt off the door.

Typical British Broadcasters over kill.

Me too Mersey

I am no royalist, but that doesn't mean I am not happy for the couple.

Just sick of it being wall to wall news...repeat, repeat, repeat

I didn't want to switch my tv over/off, I wanted to watch the scheduled programme, which I got thirty minutes later :-D


Edit: Indeed Joan!

I have had the telly off most of the time,but would like to see what else is happening in the UK.

There ARE other things going on because other news stories are running along the bottom of the screen, I see no reason as to why "they" can't take a few minutes away from the new Royal baby story & report on something else!

Reporters discussing with "experts" as to how Kate will be feeling tired,might be having problems breast feeding, that she needs to sleep when baby sleeps etc etc, Kate has all manner of folks around to attend to her every need,she does not have to cook meals for the rest of the family, or do a couple of loads of washing & ironing etc whilst the baby is yelling for his feed!

Joan.

Ive enjoyed every min of it, its not everyday a future King is born, I am witnessing a piece of royal history even if Wills and Kate go on to have 10 more children they will never again be this much fuss and I doubt I will be around when the next heir to the throne is born .............I would rather sit naked on a roll of barbed wire that watch a soap , give me a royal birth or even event any day :-D :-D :-D :-D

Lynda do not get me wrong I think the royal baby is absolutley fabulous news!!...I for one only wish I could be one of those women who could have a baby and show them off........ :-(



I was just saying 2 days looking at doors and the summising was abit overboard.....

History has been made and I for one wish them all well as a family.....

I won't miss Emmerdale for anything lol
