Princess Diana Crash - First BBC News Report (interrupting 'Borsalino') 1997
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2014
- The first news report of the Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed car crash in Paris, France on a BBC News announcement.
The news flash with Martin Lewis was interrupting French film Borsalino, starring Alan Delon and Jean Claude Belmondo - the movie scenes before and after the news announcement have been left as they were broadcast: a funeral scene followed by a Paris street scene.
Recorded at the time on an old VHS video cassette late at night whilst I watched the film 30.8.1997. This is before they reported Diana dead.
A funeral scene, set in France.
cruel, cruel, irony.
Indeed.
Italy
😂😂 ikr
I've never thought of that. Sad twisted coincidence.
@@gavinpowers1217 it was set up
I find it ironic that they announced about the crash when a funeral in a movie was happening.
Real Talk...
I know!
The BBC knew she would be assassinated
And the film is French, naw something creepy is happenening here
Just a coincidence, but if you believe in the whole illuminati thing, then they love their symbolism, they like to show themselves like a psychopathic serial killer who deliberately leaves messages. The same thing with 9/11, it seemed to be everywhere in the media, symbolically, before it happened.
A funeral scene. How oddly prophetic.
The BBC was in on it
The BBC killed Diana was the original Bush did 9/11.
+Chris 1992 Never heard anything about the BBC being involved. The most prominent conspiracy theory about Diana's death was that the Royal Family had her killed because she was cavorting around with a Muslim (and possibly pregnant with his child, some versions claim).
It was just a joke.
+Chris1992 Sometimes it's hard to tell when someone is joking or not online. Besides, with all the various nutty conspiracy theories, it wouldn't surprise me if there really was one out there that held the BBC responsible for Diana's death. 🙂
I remember this and it was so weird they interrupted a funeral scene to break the news.. .
+faithoffaith A french film no less, even weirder.
Barry Slurpentine 😭😭😭
When a programme gets interrupted for a news article, you better prepare yourself
That's what happened today.
I remember these breaking news reports. I'm not fan of the royals but it sent shivers up my spine then and it still does now
+cutelittledoll With 24 hour news I would think the next 'breaking news' report to interrupt BBC1 would be the death of the Queen or someone in direct succession. Or a serving Prime Minister.
I remember it because I didn't have the telly on, but my flatmate bowled in as drunk as a skunk and told me to turn the telly on because Diana had been killed while being chased by Pavarotti.
@@04nbod well, guess you were almost right. prince philip passed away and BBC did the same thing.
@@alecs709 Yes, the same thing happened for the Queen Mother so it made sense.
@@04nbod you called it, didn't you?
This is so uncanny, the way it interrupted a funeral scene
Just shows her death was planned
It was also a French film.
The newsflash interrupts a funeral scene, how ironic.
Fantastic piece of history by the way. Martyn Lewis went to bed for all of three hours after this and was dragged out of bed to appear again for the official anthem broadcast later. Her death was announced on BBC World, which was hastily broadcast on BBC 1 all night due to the lack of a 24 hour news channel at the time.
Geraint Atherton yes
I'm led to believe this was one of the reasons for BBC deciding to scrap closedown and broadcast BBC News 24 overnight, which I think came into effect later the same year? I don't know whether BBC were going to set up News 24 anyway but, apparently, that's why they launched it when they did.
In France as well
@@MartinParnham I think the plan was for News 24 to launch in 1998 at the same time as BBC Choice, but after the simulcast, they launched early. Diana’s death was also the catalyst for the full launch of BBC News website, which previously had only had temporary sites set up for Election coverage and the Diana tributes
just as bad as being a single mother really,
man only get's 3hrs of sleep
wonder how much sleep the camera crew get?
Bless Martyn Lewis. His voice wobbling even then. Even more so when he announced the death. Journalists aren't immune to adrenaline and sadness.
Now Martine Croxall for reporting Prince Philip's Death her eyes were soon to tears the a few seconds after she started the BBC's special coverage.
@@pj.exconde newsreaders aren't "robotic aliens"
Lots of comments about it interrupting a funeral scene. No one seems to have noticed that the film was also set in Paris!
What were ITV showing? Formula 1 highlights?
+kisbie ITV were showing the Chart Show when news interupped to bring thr news of Princess Diana's condition and there no Formula 1 highlights because it was the week between the Belgian and Italian Grand Prix.
Marseille I think but still strange ; )
yes and there was a big crash .... another coincidence
Cavan or maybe it was a genuine question alongside the joke? I certainly didn't know what was on ITV so it's good to know
This clip ua-cam.com/video/unUzljOGKbo/v-deo.html shows that they were showing the film 'Night of the hunter' when the first newsflash happened. Unless different regions had different programmes on at the time.
My mum says that she was woken up that morning by a phone call from a wrong number, a man calling his own mother to tell her that Diana had died. My mum thought this was a dream until later that morning - I still have no idea if this really happened, or she had a dream similar to this, or what. Regardless, it was a very strange Sunday. My grandad took me out and the local stately home whose park we'd go to was abruptly closed out of respect etc.
that is too creepy
Watching this after Prince Philip's passing.
:(
And now watching this after the passing of Jean Paul Belmondo, one of the two main actors in Borsalino.
Watching this after Queen Elizabeth’s passing
I remember this day quite well. Me and my sister always woke up early to watch cartoons and I remember flipping through the channels and instead finding nothing but this story, and I remember my mum being on the phone with my nan talking about what a shame it was etc, and I remember not really giving a shit. And I distinctly remember the whole country exploding with melodramatic grief for a few weeks afterwards.
1:29
that voice and that look, give the willies :((
I think he cried after airing
He pretty much broke down later on that day.
"In business or love affair's, certain things should not be in writing" -the movie actor said after the BBC anouncement.......Very creepy !
This reminds me of that Family Guy episode featuring Peter Griffin trying to commit suicide because everything he touches turns into Robin Williams being interrupted by a news report about Robin Williams' suicide. Creepy, and sad.
Jesus 6 years old and your a bell end
Amazing that such things are preserved in todays age. Well done for history's sake
This is BBC television from London. Normal programming has been suspended.
Disclaimer: I am American
Poor Martyn Lewis did not sleep much that night.
Diana slept well ever since though...
@@allthekingshorses7178 Alais. It will come to us all. The Eternal sleep.
A funeral scene shown before news coverage of the death of Princess Di
I find this ironic very ironic.
Never thought they would dub foreign films
I was working in a warehouse on nights and there was only a couple of us in that night and we had a little TV in the break room and went on my break and that's when I heard about it. Remember it like it was yesterday.
When I heard about her dying I was like "yeah it's sad but what does this have to do with me", a real shrug of the shoulders moment. Yet the whole nation seem to collapse into hysterical melodramatic grief, it was actually a bit pathetic to be honest
Well the movie that happened before the report was quite fitting wasn't it.
I recorded this film off the TV when it was shown on the night of the crash.
This was in the days before 24 hour news channels in the UK and there was always an ominous feeling when you were watching TV and the picture faded.
You knew it was a newsflash and that, more often than not, you were going to be told that something terrible had occurred.
I saw the newsflash from the recording when I got up the following morning after it had been reported that Princess Diana had died.
I didn't bother watching the film when I found out it was the dubbed version.
I've still not seen it.
Please, can you upload your version please? Would love to see it
@@djyems1021 I don't have it anymore.
It was 24 years ago.
Yes those new reports were very Erie.
Wow what an upload!
I remember this night so well. I was watching this film at the time. I went to bed and when I woke up in the morning I put the television on to find that Princess Diana had died. Unbelievable that it was twenty years ago this year.
This was at 1.44am, the film was interrupted again for a further news report and then BBC World took over from 2.30am
Matt Hayes This was the only interruption to the film.
elbuccanero There was another short news report after this with Martyn Lewis, I've got it on a videotape
I'll double check my tape - I could have sworn it was the only one to interrupt the film but I could be wrong! Do you remember the scene?
+Matt Hayes a bit of a late reply but I checked and you are correct. I'll put the second report up the next time I get the VHS player out!
elbuccanero Out of interest did you get the chance to upload this other report?
I am an American and I'll never forget where I was the day they announced she had died. Why? She seemed like a very sweet lady. I could be wrong. I didn't know her personally obviously. I wonder what the majority consensus was in Britain.
Michael Reed it was pretty depressing. I was in yr 3 in my teacher at one point just broke down. She used to have these mugs of Diana. My mum cried a lot. My dad was just angry and kept saying "they killed her. They planned it and they did her in"
Thanks so much for uploading this - absolutely fascinating. Don't suppose you have anymore, of the second news report, maybe?
Wow, they went straight back in to the film?! Who on earth could hear that news, then concentrate on the rest of that movie? Extraordinary move by the BBC.
Fascinating upload. Never seen this footage before.
97channel they did the dawn of a new era at the bbc
You should see the footage of CBS TV in 1963 when Kennedy was assassinated. They went right back to commercials for dog food and fabric softener.
😱
This was before BBC News 24 was a thing.
you don’t know what you don’t know,
so might as well get on with the show.
The most ironic newsflash ever......
I remember when it happened- i was 7, my cousin had been staying over and we got up and turned the cartoon channels on as usual (pretty sure it was Cartoon Network). There was an episode of Tom and Jerry and this disclaimer at the bottom of the screen saying to turn to a news channel 😔
There's been a video posted online of someone swapping channels during this time in the morning. UKGold, Nickelodeon, they all had that bottom screen-disclaimer, but I didn't see Cartoon Network on there. Wow.
@@JayDeeIsMyName I think it was because cartoon metwork was the main channel I bothered with at the time and it was the first one I turned on, so I changed it straight to some news channel (probably sky)- we didn't have sky, just that cable service with the little black box
Never mind that they cut in during a funeral scene. The real crime is that didn't bother to pause the film, missing out a key scene that takes place after the funeral.
Worst part was the early news just said she'd been in car accident and was in hospital giving some hope that she would make it through. If the final outcome is bad which it was in this case I'd rather hear that first rather than having hope then the worst happening. Tho the time it happened would mean most people would of heard first of it after she was confirmed dead.
This is an example of why people should always were seat belts. 4 people in that car only 1 had seat belt on and only the 1 with seat belt on survived.
I remember waking up early to see my dad cos he was likely to pass away the next evening . And we were shocked as was everyone else when we heard what happened to Diana
My friends and I were all dancing in a barn at a joint 30th birthday party on a farm in Muchelney, Langport, Somerset when this happened. Nobody had a mobile phone so we didn't know til the house party afterwards when news reports kept interrupting the late night rave music going out on Radio One. Four of us went to London for the funeral.
I was also at a party (in Wiltshire) when this happened. The party started well, but ended in a friend being violently ill and two friends who were in a relationship having a massive argument in the kitchen as one of them ended the relationship. I was waiting for a lift home from them and we couldn't go until they were done arguing. There was a horrible atmosphere and we all went home in silence. The next day, I got up, feeling really rough, switched on the news, and this happened. My friends and I agreed that there was something terrible in the air that night. I'm not a royalist, but it was like something shifted the planet off kilter on the night of the 31st August.
Martin Lewis to me is the king of news readers, tho Huw Edwards comes pretty close.
I was 5 when she died and I still remember my Mum and Nan crying
Devastating turn of events, Borsalino was a fucking good film
Was babysitting that night and found out on ceefax that Dodi had died and later on on radio 2 that diana had passed away at 4am in the morning.Couldn't sleep for been shocked and saddened by the news.😢
Thanks so much for this upload
Remember this day I was 14 the Sunday was a complete day of mourning remember my Sunday league football was cancelled
Interrupting a funeral scene. Surreal. I think one of the channels showed the trailer for Spider Man, and in the trailer there was the World Trade Center. Then they interrupted the trailer, switched to CNN. It was September 11th, 2001.
I heard about the crash around 6pm, but no update until later. They couldn’t interrupt a hockey game in August .
Are you from Australia or New Zealand?
@@jakubwidlarz - Neither . I am from Canada .
@@mjj1434 Oh sorry. I thought you meant field hockey because the NHL doesn't have games in August other than the pandemic bubble in 2020 and there was no World Cup or any international tournament that year. Maybe your memory is pointing to Montreal vs BC Lions in the CFL that night.
Late films at this time were common on BBC 1 normally Friday nights or Saturday nights
The 'Borsalino' scene reminded me of that day Princess Di was gone.
this was the only way to find out about events before twitter
Before any social media!
We had CEEFAX.
Remember kids always wear your seat belt.
The film is actually set in Marseille not Paris; although I believe some scenes were filmed in Paris.
obviously her death was planned and the BBC knew
@@rick182z Bruh!
I remember being asleep but my dad was awake watching the film....he said the way it came up he felt like the bomb was on its way and this was the BBC giving us the 4 minute warning.
I've never been a royalist and Diana was better off out of that family.
Yeah, I was watching and before Martin wotsit came on I said to my girlfriend "this is something serious - it's war or someone big has died".
These kind of news reports give me the shivers, they still do!
Did you get to record the full film, or was there more breaking news?
+elbuccanero Martin Lewis
DarkLight753 Just as well it wasn't Peter Donaldson's warning message, it would have caused a major panic.
Tragic 😞. The film is set in Paris.
The first radio news report was at 1am. I was listening to Talk Radio UK and the announcer said, "Princess of Wales has been injured in a car crash in Paris. Dodi is dead."
I immediately switched on Sky News and BBC News 24 and continued listening to Talk Radio UK and LBC, all simultaneously.
BBC News 24?
Sutthiphong Kannikaklang No, News 24 wasn't launched until the following November. Must have been confusing it with the overnight BBC World simulcast.
BBC News use to be BBC News 24..
I was listening to Magic FM and breaking news said Dodi was dead but Diana was seen to walk away with a laceration to her thigh and a cut above her eye, possibly a broken arm. I ran upstairs and watched as that wasn't repeated but radio silence seemed to foretell bad news as Robin Cook hadn't gotten his scheduled flight from the Philippines. The talk of the flash before a downshift in gears followed by the actual crash and the blaring horn was on the news. Everyone agreed that the paparazzi arrived minutes after the crash. Then all of a sudden she was dead. My mum said "that's that, they bumped her off, that interview and rubbing the Fayeds in their faces all summer...she SHOULD have known what the establishment is capable of.."
the continuity announcer is Arlene Fleming
How do you know?
I was at a B and B in cleethorpes at the time. When i saw flowers outside Buckingham Palace on TV i assumed the Queen Mother had died.
in the days before News 24.......
it was a couple of months away
Propaganda 24.
Fascinating, thank you for uploading this. You don't happen to have anything later on like when instead of closing down BBC1 handed over to BBC World do you?
19 years ago now.
If you believe that there are signs out there for things to come, it's hard not to think that with this video. I get chills watching this! The words of the priest about saints, resting places and Paradise in this movie scene, it's almost like the angels were surrounding her in Paris, protecting her as she faces what her last few hours would be. Tomorrow is the anniversary again. The world misses you Diana, I hope you are resting in peace
I remember this happening, but I was quite young, so didn’t really understand the magnitude of it. One thing I remember is that the local library and the smaller local shops all closed for a day or so by way of mourning.
there was a funeral scene on tv damn ironic innit
I'd like to find the sky news footage from the night of the event, my parents remember seeing someone being interviewed before they knew what was going on and there was a person possibly american who said when they passed there was a car with a dent and a woman standing beside it who looked like princess diana, never heard anything more like this but sounds strange considering what actually happened.
What an interesting metaphor to what would happen...
I was staying in London, and I think that they had ITV on. I remember it breaking.
I remember where I was when I heard the news. I was watching "Dr. Quinn" during the 8 o'clock hour (EST). And they had a scroll at the bottom of the screen.
How ironic that right before they broke in, the scene in the movie at that point was set at a funeral?
20 years ago today since she died
Aside from the announcement, does anyone else think the music at 2:16 is a lot like the Thomas the Tank Engine music?
Incidentally Borsalino looks brilliant. Hope it’s on Amazon Prime
Well, whaddyaknow, they interrupted a funeral scene to break the news of someone's actual death.
*BBCEPTION*
Was she already dead at the time of this News Flash, or was there really a lack of info , or did the News Reporters just keep up the facade anyway. It's anyone's guess.
I WAS AT A WEDDING RECEPTION TOTALLY WASTED I remember the guy I was with my date was trying to tell me that Princess Diana had died and I was waiting for the punchline I thought he was trying to tell me a joke....I was like ..AND?
THEN I SAW THE NEWS I CRIED SOON AFTER THAT I THREW UP. ..I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT NIGHT. .... :(
she was at versace's funeral a month earlier
Oh The Irony...
Who was the continuity announcer in this clip? She was doing the continuity later the next evening, too. She may well have been the regular ‘night-shift’ announcer, but it could have also been a long shift.
Unbelievable, isn't it? They were showing an English dubbed yet made in France film and they break a serious news flash from France.
I could have sworn that I was watching that film called "Reds" starring Warren Beatty. Maybe i'd taped it from another evening or something like that. I do rememer Martin Lewis announcing it though. I'd never been so shocked in my life!
A funeral scene
How poetic
It's like they pre-planned Diana's death
And now the Queen’s dead...
The acting was so bad in this film that it looked like they could do with a news flash.
The film was not paused, it skipped a whole chunk
I was up that night watching a WWF VHS Wrestling tape. When it finished I remember watching what had happened. It's strange how I can remember what I was doing that night because although I thought it was sad & tragic, I wasn't personally touched by this at all.
What an eerie coincidence....or a subliminal message from the lizard people? You decide!
That poor woman was murdered. I'm disgusted that her sons aren't doing more to bring her killers to justice.
She was murdered because a, her driver was drunk and b, she didn't wear a seatbelt.
Seatbelt was proven to have been jammed. Driver was not drunk. The receipts prove it.
0:40 look how it just goes black before bbc1 news comes on
Yh that was spooky French funeral as well
We all know that wasn't really an accident.
I mean, C'MON! What are the odds of that scene preceding that bulletin?
I well remember this happening. I was twenty seven at the time and had just returned from holiday.
I remember it well myself. Remember not really giving a toss at the time, still don't now
ISN'T THAT SOMETHING ELSE...HOW IRONIC & TALK ABOUT WEIRD TIMING A FUNERAL SCENE AND TO FOLLOW PRINCESS DIANA DEATH. ..HUH! ODD!
I was watching something totally different and they just said she'd broken her arm.
Anyone else find it weird that a funeral scene is playing or is that just me
One of the actors in the film has recently passed.
My mother rang me to tell me I remember it was early Sunday morning
Oh wear a SEAT BELT every one.
And don't drink and drive.
What time was the first bulletin (London time)? When did they announce she had died? I believe I tuned into radio at 9 or so and it was on the hourly news and then at around 11 pm Iowa time BBC shortwave announced she was gone. Can someone correct me on the time? Thanks.
This bulletin aired around 0140 UK time. Rolling coverage/BBC World simulcast started at 0230. All coverage went to the domestic feed at 0630 but the International feed went back to it's dedicated coverage. All other channels were merged to BBC Television from London (same for those who simulcasted BBC1 or whatever feed they probed in). BBC2 went to Grandstand (sports) but BBC1 stayed with news coverage and continued to overnight until closedown; second BBC World simulcast at 0020. CNN announced her death at 11:50pm ET, and aired a snippet from the 0630 announcement at 0710 UK time. (2:10am ET?) MSNBC showed live pictures of BBC World for a short amount of time. ITN did 2 newsflashes - one at 0130 and another at 0440. That's all i know, to be fair.
P.S.: The official name for BBC Shortwave is BBC World Service. Ciao
What's annoying is that they didn't continue the film from the point where they interrupted it!
They did that once on Film4 when The Godfather Part Two was on. For some reason, after a commercial break, they repeated the EXACT SAME FOOTAGE that had been shown after the previous commercial break!
And how did they correct this?
Did they put up a message or announcement apologising for what happened?
Of course not.
Instead, after the next commercial break, they completely skipped the next section of the film in order to catch up!
So you ended up seeing about 20 minutes of the film twice and entirely missing another 20 minute section that followed it!
I could (maybe) understand them doing this if there was another film on after it but there wasn't! It was the list film shown that night!
It's just as well I'd seen The Godfather Part Two before otherwise I would have been seriously pissed off.
Lol, it could've been an accident. They played part 2, commercials, they accidentally played part 2 again, commercials, they thought they played part 3 properly, and started playing part 4. Happened to me a few months or maybe even a year ago on Dutch FOX, watching some random hospital set-dramaseries. I saw the ad-break (the ending of one part, Netherlands doesn't show ads during every break in an episode), and then right after the story made no sense anymore. I googled to find more information about the episode, turned out an entire programblock was accidentally skipped 😂
@@JayDeeIsMyName It's possible.
But you would think that, at a major channel like Film4, someone would spot the accident and corect it.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 if it was a late night showing, chances are the responsible ones in charge were not paying attention 😄
@@JayDeeIsMyName Yes, that's quite possible!
I think the BBC broadcast Borsalino, predicting what was going to happen that night. And interrupted the film at the funeral scene and returning to the Marseille-set Paris-filmed scene.
Yes, the BBC caused Diana's death.
Yes, because they'd broadcast that for some sick reason and for cruel irony
The BBC didn't do jackshit. They're just a public service broadcaster.
Wow i remember this, it was a cracking film too
Quite ironic that it was a funeral scene
I was babysitting that night found out that dodi died on ceefax and come home to watch this report on TV.Went to bed and listened to talksport and found out princess Diana had passed away at 4am was awake all night didn't sleep told my mum we both cried that sad Sunday horrible day😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🌹
