No, "overwhelming grief" is another example of the Bigley factor that

It is indeed.

But I've not yet heard any "overwhelming grief" about Peelie, even
from my devout muso friends. There's a near unanimous liking for the
guy, a sense of loss over the show, even a puzzled acceptance that
someone, somewhere must have liked Home Truths. Yet _nowhere_ have I
seen or heard anything remotely Bigleyesque, Dianaian or that would
offend Boris Johnson.
