Not the UK - but Neighbours has suspended production until next Monday after a crew member came into contact with someone who tested positive for the virus.

There was also a 35th anniversary show at the Adelphi theatre for the UK fans planned for last Sunday but that got cancelled and cleverly re-scheduled on the date the show debuted in the UK in October 1986.

I guess the cancellation of Eurovision was inevitable.

You know what. That all sounds fair play to me. Glad to see the older generation is cated for there, to keep them mentally and physically stimulated too.

This is an important element of that ....


In the event that schools are shut down, and subject to further work and discussions with the Department for Education, devolved administrations and schools, we are exploring:

A daily educational programme for different key stages or year groups - with a complementary self-learning programme for students to follow, broadcast on BBC Red Button and made available on demand on BBC iPlayer.
Expanding BBC Bitesize content, with our social media running daily troubleshooting Q&As focusing on a different subject each day.
Increasing our educational programming on BBC iPlayer, bringing together the best from BBC Bitesize, BBC Teach and the wider BBC portfolio where educationally appropriate.
Creating two new daily educational podcasts for BBC Sounds, one for primary and one for secondary.
BBC Four and BBC Red Button devoting a block of programming each weekday evening to show programmes that support the GCSE and A Level curriculum. In Scotland, the Scotland channel will support the Scottish NQs and Highers in daytime.

Seems like a massive opportunity missed in regaining the support of younger adults while many are stuck at home unable to work. This has basically ensured that the elderly will continue to watch the BBC and everyone else will increasingly turn to Netflix and other streaming services.

Every elderly person I speak to, doesn't really feel the BBC has much to offer them. They get annoyed by fast editing, and zap-zap presentation.

Young adults have a myriad of devices on the go, all at once normally. They'll be fine when it comes to 'electronic' forms of entertainment. BBC or no BBC, but as pointed out they are being catered for too.
