Channel 4 has explained the decision to air Friday night’s instalment of Gogglebox as usual.
The series aired amid widespread schedule changes across the main broadcasters in response to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
While Channel 4 had cancelled much of its scheduled programming in the immediate aftermath of the news, the broadcaster’s bosses revealed on Friday (9 September) that Gogglebox would air as usual.
On Thursday (8 September), it was announced that the Queen had died in Balmoral at the age of 96.
