The Funny Side of the News

Duration: 60 minutes
Armed with a host of classic bloopers, Clive Anderson demonstrates the many different ways in which newsreaders' mistakes can occur and traces the evolution of news presentation.

I really don't understand why you insist on posting those extremely low quality images every time you link to something.

Was it me or did it have a whiff of the ITV 'It shouldn't happen to a....' series, funny clips being linked with 'talking heads'.
Although Michael Buerk getting up at the end of the 10 in his fishnets made me laugh!

Was Clive in a proper news studio or was it just a set? Looks a bit like Millbank?

I thought it was the Film 2007 set - I may be wrong though...

Nice to see Clive Anderson on TV again, has he done much recently?

I wonder if his Whose Line repeats got him that job?


As a side note, he has been doing Parky's show on Radio 2 of late too.

Looked like Clive and many of the interviews were on the Film 2007 set - you could see the Film 2007 logo on the desk in some clips.

I guess that would make sense - both this programme and Film2007 are (nominally) BBC Scotland productions.

It was nice to see a 'wrong guest' error from BBC News 24 from the second set in 1998-99 (first set in N8?) - I've hardly seen any clips of what that set looked like!


Yes that was set number 2 for News 24 (First one to be in N8 ). What you saw was pretty much all the set! Only bit you didn't see was the sofa's that sat opposite the main desk. There wasn't much to that set as it just had a desk and sofa area.

No there's a difference between made in Scotland and a BBC Scotland Production. Film 2007 is produced in London.
