It was being shown on BBC1 in the United Kingdom on August 31, 1997 when it was interrupted at 1.45am by BBC newsreader Martyn Lewis to bring the first news report that Diana, Princess of Wales had been involved in a car crash in Paris, which ultimately claimed her life. (With cruel irony, the film was in the middle of a scene that depicted a funeral.) The film would be interrupted one more time in the following hour for another update about the crash.
