**WEEKEND BONUS EPISODES** 6. Great British Traditions - The Queue Part 5
The final part of the series looks at the immense outrage “queue jumping” causes. Transcription: “Hey, everyone, final part of the Q series, and it's all about queue jumping.
Back to the queue to see the Queen's coffin.
Two beloved TV presenters, Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, were perceived as having jumped this queue, that is, not waited for their turn to go and see the Queen lying in state. And the outrage and backlash was so huge that they nearly lost their jobs, and it made the headlines of all the national newspapers under the term Queuegate. Philip Schofield was quoted later as saying, What are the two things you don't screw up?
The Queen and a queue.
If you push in, you are indeed crossing the line. At this point, you have to hope that the British sense of politeness wins over their desire to quietly dispose of your body in the River Thames. The good news is, politeness always wins.
Whatever you do, don't jump in the queue. You have been warned. Bye for now guys.”
