Thousands protest Diana documentary
Channel 4 has been hit by 2,020 complaints about the controversial Princess Diana documentary.
Media watchdog Ofcom has launched an investigation into grievances about the programme, which featured controversial images of the crash in which the Princess was killed.
Diana: The Witnesses In The Tunnel was seen by 3.8 million viewers - less than the slot average - while The Apprentice got 6.2 million on BBC1.
Channel 4 went ahead with the use of the photos despite Prince William and Harry saying plans to do so left them "deeply distressed".
The documentary was seen by 4.2 million in the final 15 minutes - after the controversial photographs were shown.
At least 24 complaints were received by Ofcom, which will now look to see whether those merit an official probe.
