In today's episode, with Dot and Pauline listening to the Queen Mother's funeral, is that the first time a scene has been inserted last minute as a reaction to real life events? They do it quite often now but I can't remember seeing it before in the classics

They had Sonia watching the queen mother on a boat and was talking about her declining health a couple episodes before todays ones but yeah, I think this was the start of them adding things like that. Hadn’t really noticed it being done before.

I remember they added on a bit with Laura and Ian reading a paper discussing the football results at the beginning of an episode around 2000? Apparently they shot it that morning, which impressed me as a kid 😅
 
I absolutely hate when they add in real life bits.I get unnecessary rage over it.The one that pissed me off the most was when Michael Jackson died and Patrick said some inept comment to Denise I think 🤮

It’s far from the first ‘last minute insert’ of a real life event. They started doing it in 1987. The General Election result that year was one of the first ones

Here is a list of them
