It is your right to feel that Carole, I for one would never say otherwise.
I just feel if I saw links in each programme I watched and immediately matched them to recent disasters/crimes etc I would be sat in the dark with little to watch - that doesn't mean I'm desensitised just that I can compartmentalise one from the other.
"Due to recent real-world events the episodes of your favourite soap opera will now be shown out of sequence and you will be exposed to 'spoilers' which disrupt the ongoing story arc and reduce your enjoyment. Our extensive audience research tells us that viewers prefer it this way, as a mark of respect to the families of those lost in the recent tradgedy."
Oops! Sorry did not notice the time it had been written. Thought it was a recent post. It has been on the news today and thought it was one of those people that like to be 'disgusted' by something or another!
