Apparently 3pm (BBC1, ITV), 4pm (ITV+1), 5pm (BBC2) ;-)
That's a very odd time
How odd that it's not a worldwide 1500 GMT....OK, I know that would be 0200 on 26/12, but still
Even Radio 4 now broadcasts the message at 3 pm. I'm sure it used to be in the morning
1500 GMT would be 2 am the following day in Sydney and even later in New Zealand and some other territories which would obviously be ridiculous, I assume they changed the arrangements over the years.
I just presumed they broadcast in on 26/12 at 3 pm....
I would have expected it to be at 3pm local time on the 25th?
At 3 pm local the ABC are showing Midsomer Murders !
Have to agree! Cannot stand the Queens way of delivering a speech - never sounds off the cuff, always read of a script. You would have thought that after 60 years of practice, she would at least be able to carry out a speech with a bit more gusto and feeling instead of the droll Andy Murray type boring talk.
Well, at least Brenda has an alibi. But, no, wait! It's pre-recorded isn't it? Slap the bracelets on her, you're nicked, ma'am, you slaaaaaaaaaag!
Which is why that story was nonsense, other countries would hear it before the UK, plus the PM would make the announcement not the Queen.
Is that so you can avoid it:D
Has Channel 4 grown up at last?
What makes the Queen's speech mature?
Strangely it is down in the Radio Times, Christmas Day 1.50pm, and in the UK Christmas TV guide, but it's not in the SKY TV guide.

Yes the radio broadcast used to be in the morning, and copies were distributed in advance to all radio stations around the country to be played out locally at the appointed time. I worked at one such station and more than once heard the speech two or three days early. It was, of-course, strictly embargoed and eventually (perhaps inevitably) someone leaked the contents to the papers. After that, stations did not get their own copy any more but had to broadcast the speech as it was played out from a central location, and I might be wrong but I think it was probably then that the tradition of having the radio broadcast in the morning was also stopped.
As well as the 3 p.m. broadcast, Sky News show it again at 4.30, 5.30, 6.30 and 7.30 - it's on the EPG.

I bet the OP is not the only one.
I won't be watching. Maybe if she broadcast it pissed up, crown askew, holding a bottle of gin, "Ha ha Charles, faaack orff, one's not for quitting, y'jug-eared ****. Comeon let's have a sing-song, God save me, long live me..."
