Alison Hammond handled this so well. Have never for a second liked Cliff Richard. We all have a 'national treasure' we have no time for, this guy has always been mine.
One of the most awkward, jaw-dropping things I've ever seen on TV 😲 Felt sorry for Alison Hammond though 🙁

This is my second watch. Nowhere does she slag off the Queen. Nowhere. In fact she praises her. So this narrative of 'how DARE she slate OUR QUEEN' proves how ready we are to ignore the facts and go for the easy counter argument. A key way to silence women #MeghanandHarryonOprah.

Lads, you don't need to tweet that you don't care because you don't like #HolbyCity. Jobs of staff, freelancers plus a huge platform for new talent will be lost. It's a blow to the industry, the team and crew and therefore to the UK industry. Don't take pleasure in job losses.
