Radio hoaxers

i dont think the djs should be taking the rap for this,it was merely a prank and the nurse shouldnt have put the call through

my thoughts are what pressure was the nurse under from her employers on this not only will she have been dragged over the coals for breaking confidentiality but its also a royal ,was her job under threat from this?

Well lads it's good to see that we can see this issue as it should, with some thought ,and some realism.
After the post my mate put on facebook and the mass witchhunt it provoked i thought all the world had gone totally mad, but it looks like us tilers have some common sense.
A pat on the back all round.

Pretty much my thoughts too and.....although not knowing the full facts.....why was she found at nursing accomodation and not at home with family....was she living there ? marriage issues etc ? Were the hospital being supportive? I cant see that myself . there is more to this !

it's a real sad case, the dj's can't take the rap. Perhaps more stringent phone screening etc should have been in place, but who knows maybe she was already on the edge anyway. Candid Camera were doing stunts like this for years and I don't think anyone saw it as anymore than a joke.

And Jeremy Beadle - remember the woman who thought aliens were in her back garden and she asked them if they wanted a cup of tea? Or the bloke who's van they swapped over and ran it into the Thames. He was going ape. These were just well executed pranks, and they went on national tv afterwards to be interviewed by Beadle on the show. Didn't hear of anyone on that show committing suicide. Like I said earlier and most of the comments, the nurse must have been troubled by a lot of things!

I tend to agree with that....

I don't think the des should take the "blame". Tis was apparently just an ill thought out badly timed but innocent prank. What I do think though, based on the events of others doing similr earlier this year and the same last year that programmers and dust should learn from their mistakes. It does not make for entertaining radio in my opinion. What purpose did this prank and other radio pranks serve. None at all except upset and in this instance the ultimate upset. Sad sad time...

Just think its so sad for all really. A minor prank, gone very bad.

That hospital is going to be busy with Old Prince Phillip and his bladder infections this Christmas you can bet on it.

I dont think anyone will bother ringing them up to ask if his nurses have been taking the P.
