complained about 'excessive' coverage of Nelson Mandela's
death on BBC services, including some who grumbled about a
repeat of popular sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys being interrupted.
By today the corporation had received 1,350 complaints about
too much coverage across its news services, with some saying
the emphasis had reduced the coverage of severe weather
across the UK that day.
Programme chiefs broke into a repeat of BBC1 sitcom Mrs
Brown's Boys to break the news.
The BBC has defended its coverage and said Mandela's death
was of 'considerable interest' to audiences in the UK and
across the rest of the world.
