BBC Two Wales Into Cricket Highlights

I don't know if network did the same, but I was just somewhat confused, but then greatly amused by the BBC Two Wales announcer saying "Some viewers might find scenes in the following programme disturbing" into the Test Match highlights programme.

Nice one!

Haha, thats brilliant!

I am sure the large portion of viewers would have been disturbed too.

Well I would have thought the programme would contain “Strobe lighting, strong language and scenes of an adult nature”

Well done BBC Wales.

Close contender for ‘cock up of the week’, followed by STV talking and coughing through Corrie !!!

What, did England win or something?

And now, for the benefit of the hard of humour.

It was NOT a cock-up, dear, it was said deliberately.

They were making a joke, one of those things that go straight over your head.

God, I despair sometimes!

Yes it was quite a balls up.

Despite your many degrees, qualifications and jobs etc, you are STILL unable to read the post above yours and comprehend what the OP was talking about Dr Hazard?

I think the announcer on BBC 2W just had to repeat the joke again.

At 22:45 he announced that,"In 30 minutes it's comedy - not the cricket - but mock the week...."

There was a short filler just before that announcement which featured the BBC 2W Christmas idents and contained an appearance from one of the announcers - he looked particularly young!

Not this fellow?

It must be his birthday!

Never heard of him.

Erm, not too familiar with the national content of the England cricket team are you?

I do hope this clay animation programme appears on youtube or somesuch -- I'm thinking this is one that won't be repeated for a third time.

Meanwhile, whilst the 2W idents are charming [one's a bit rude mind you], I'm not sure what's happening in this one -- any ideas [in the absence of a video]?

Evening Draig, trust you're well.

For those confused, the original discussion is here.
