As the excitement builds for the Euros 2024 final tonight, all eyes are on the BBC and ITV for their coverage of England's historic match against Spain. But, Channel 4 is taking a different approach and providing some lighthearted entertainment instead. They've decided to air the 1997 cult classic disaster film Titanic during the finals. It's safe to say that this decision has caused quite a stir amongst football fans.
After pulling off a successful alternative election coverage just weeks ago, Channel 4 is at it again with this clever move. With 21.6 million viewers tuning in to watch England's semi-final win over the Netherlands on ITV, it's unlikely that many fans will be switching over to watch Titanic. But, for those who do, they'll witness Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio's iconic love story unfold on the doomed luxury cruise ship.
For England, the stakes couldn't be higher as they haven't made it to the Euro final since 2020, where they were left devastated after losing to Portugal on penalties. This time, they have a chance at redemption and to bring home the trophy for the first time since their iconic World Cup win in 1966. So, it's no wonder that fans are feeling jittery with nerves and anticipation.
The decision by Channel 4 to air Titanic during the finals has not gone unnoticed by football fans. Many have taken to social media to express their thoughts, with some seeing it as a bit of a troll move from the broadcaster. But, others are just amused by the coincidence and are wondering if it's a subtle prediction of England's fate tonight.
While some are joking about the possible outcome of the match, others are feeling a bit more anxious. Can the selection of a disaster film during the finals be seen as a bad omen for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions? Only time will tell.
But, it's not just Channel 4 that's sticking to the disaster theme. BBC Two will be showing The Turkish Detective during half-time, which is about the murder of a rap music manager. And, Channel 5 will be airing a documentary about The Great Storm of 1987. It seems like the other channels are also getting in on the action.
Interestingly, even Spanish television is airing Titanic at the same time as the match. Despite the fierce rivalry between the two countries on the field, it seems like we share the same sense of humor.
So, while some may be worried about the potential outcome of the match, others are just enjoying the coincidence and looking forward to a good game. Let's hope that the result is not as disastrous as the real-life Titanic, and that England can bring it home. After all, BBC One and ITV1 are providing extensive coverage of the match, so there's no need to switch over to watch a movie.
