What on earth happened then? Gavin Esler asked if a guest could hear him and the guest replied 'no'! They then stared at eachother for 5 seconds until it cut away! Very strange!
And this is where we see how Reeta is simply not experienced enough to handle such events. No apology, no explanation, nothing.
That's a bit unfair I feel... she kept going and kept it moving quite fluidly, sometimes it may be best not to acknowledge it.
Yes, absolutely fine, she just carried on delivering the script, which <hint> has the
important
bit, the actual news content in it. For those listening to the sound only (quite a few I suspect, making their lunch in the kitchen etc) would probably have thought nothing had gone astray.
All credit to her (the talkback must have been incredibly distracting)

When i see that happen now, i immediatly think of the clip of the BBC One o clock news meltdown 1986, even though I am sure some of the practises have changed.
Yes, including that headline which is quite obviously wrong.
(Or at least, I wish it was.)
Moira Stuart said it this morning on Radio 2. Listen to it while you still can so you can record her saying "amazeballs" for your ringtone/text tone/musical greeting card/doorbell chime.
I would but I can't seem to find the this morings broadcasts on the Radio iPlayer...
Looks like the problems with yesterdays One were down to human error. Someone accidentally unticked a box which cleared the running order from Mosart six seconds after going on air so there was nothing to play (hence no titles, opts etc)
It happens much less often on World News though. CNN and Al Jazeera rarely have problems with their intros, and they produce just as much news content as the BBC. I could understand if the issue was minor that the BBC would ignore the problem for as long as it has, but the issue is quite noticeable and therefore its unacceptable that this hasn't been rectified yet.
It is, there are perhaps one or two incidents a day which last in total about 10 seconds a day. That leaves 86,390 seconds where there isn't a mistake - literally 99.9% of BBC News Channel output is mistake free. It is only made out to be major on this forum, and possibly MailOnline but other than that is doesn't seem to be a problem.
