What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAs we told you earlier, King Charles and Elton John took in an Apple music workshop.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNew, per the BBC: writer Jimmy McGovern says youth jail staff are 'lazy'.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe BBC says he visited young offender institutions for his new drama and left 'shocked'. Bro, that's a heavy research trip for a TV show.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSame BBC, same day, a king and a knighted pop star at a music class.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's like the best and worst drive-through lines on one menu!
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOne story's a workshop where kids learn to make beats, the other's a writer saying the system is asleep at the wheel. Whiplash.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThose are his opinions, and we haven't heard from the institutions yet. I'd still pay good money to see a king on a drum pad.
