Turned on just before 11 for the news update but there wasn't one this morning - is there some sort of problem? All we got was the announcer saying that there would be the latest news and weather at 1pm. Confused

Breakfast was extended till 10 am cause of the weather situation in the UK.
When this happens the summary at 11 is usually dropped.

Something odd happened after Breakfast as well. A breakdown caption appeared for a minute or so. Not sure what it was all about though - I was at the gym, and the TV didn't have sound on.

It was fairly bizarre.

Breakfast finished, followed by a promo for the daytime shows, then the lottery numbers came on and the announcer got them wrong, then corrected herself, then up came the programme fault caption.

The announcer lady tried her best to apologise, stumbled over her words and sounded stupid, then said nothing for a minute, and straight into an ident with a v/o that sounded as though nothing had happened.

Yes, I heard this, she got caught in a loop as the first three numbers were consecutive. "Two... three... four... fi - sorry, six..."

And I was very disappointed that she was mistaken about there being a "technical programme", as I was very much in the mood for something intellectual.

Out of interest, who is she?

It was Becky Wright! Looks as if BBC Broadcasts new Broadcast Centre is having a few teathing problems. From what I hear - its an uphill struggle for the staff there at the moment... still, should make for some interesting viewing on BBC ONE and TWO in the next few weeks! Very Happy

BBC ONE and BBC TWO are now in the Broadcast Centre. BBC THREE and BBC FOUR have been there for a while.
