The BBC's obituary to Reagan....Guess the first two contributors?
Charlton Heston and Margaret Thatcher...........

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I though Heston hadn't been able to speak coherently for quite some time, yet here he was confidently eulogising Reagan's passing.

Thatcher hasn't made public speeches or interviews for a while too.

Aside from the fact that these are 2 of my least favourite people, isn't it just weird that the BBC have clearly been filming a Reagan obituary for years?

1. The fact that heston might not have been able to speak

clearly/coherently in public or at some arbitrary time doesnt mean he could do so under controlled circumstances with no time contraints. It may have been edited to provide continuity.

3. everyone has had these on file for at least five years
the Post put out a 5000 word obit of reagan within TEN MINUTES of the announcement of his passing. ten minutes. it is easy, with a case like this, to get the file ready.
