Charlie Brooker decided to postpone an edition of his show You Have Been Watching last night.

Channel 4 was scheduled to air a special crime episode of the programme but chose to delay the broadcast following the shootings in Cumbria.

Writing on his Twitter page, Brooker explained: "Given recent events, we've decided to postpone tonight's scheduled ep of You Have Been Watching. There'll be a different ep in its place."

He added: "FWIW [for what it's worth], it's a decision I completely agree with. It'll now be shown at a later date... For those asking: the ep being postponed is a crime special - which for obvious reasons feels tonally wrong at present."

Episodes of Coronation Street have also been pulled following the tragedy in Cumbria.
