Channel 4 have revealed their "alternative" scheduling plans for King Charles' coronation next month.
The event - on Saturday, May 6 - at Westminster Abbey will be filled with royal tradition, with both Charles and Camilla wearing priceless crowns covered in jewels worth millions of pounds.
Instead of airing footage of the coronation, Channel 4 have chosen to air "alternative" coverage, including Frankie Boyle's Farewell to the Monarchy.
The comedian, 50, will look at the history of the monarchy with his typical wry humour, while satire.
Speaking on whether the royal family has a place in this day and age, he said: "Increasingly, the British monarchy appear like animals in a zoo that’s fallen on hard times – fidgety, balding, pacing up and down their marble cage, pausing only to chew their own tail off or commit a sex crime out of boredom.”
The Windsors are also returning for a coronation special, while Emily Maitlis will speak about her infamous interview with Prince Andrew in a new documentary.
Channel 4/A&E will also provide viewers with the two-part series, Andrew - The Problem Prince.
The two-part documentary series uses archive footage, interviews with BBC producer Sam McAlister and access to palace insiders, to uncover the inside story of Prince Andrew's disastrous Newsnight interview and examine the scandal that led to his spectacular fall from grace.
On the day of the coronation, Channel 4 will have an alternative schedule (to be confirmed) that will provide an escape from the pomp and ceremony elsewhere.
Channel 4 Chief Content Officer, Ian Katz, commented: “Channel 4 exists to provide viewers with an alternative, so as the nation is engulfed by pomp, circumstance and forelock-tugging.
"We’ll be offering a rather less reverential slate of programmes including Frankie Boyle’s case against the monarchy and the Windsors’ scabrous satirical take on the Coronation."
Meanwhile, the BBC has announced the line-up for the Coronation Concert, with Take That, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie performing.
Performers will also include Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli, Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, singer-songwriter Freya Ridings and classical-soul composer Alexis Ffrench, with more acts yet to be announced.
