Really, how cringeworthinly embarassing and pointless? They have just used it on the Woolwich shooting, helpfully pointing the bleeding obvious with huge white arrows of "a pile of clothes" on the ground, "a weapon", and "some police cars" - all entirely obvious if you have eyes.

    Can't believe ITV showed the footage they showed. Do you think if sky had obtained that footage would they have shown it? There would probably be numerous threads now about sky news if they had.

    It's the made-up-on-the-hoof pretend CSI crap that's particularly ridiculous.

    I couldnt believe that either...stop the oxygen of publicity, playing straight into their hands!

    Sky aren't showing it at the moment for editorial reasons

    Watch one of the alternative news channels then. I don't like Eastenders so I do not watch it, I watch something else.
