'It Shouldn't Happen To Newsreaders'

There is a programme on ITV on Friday at 10pm, about cockups with news broadcasts!!

Make sure everyone watches it! You never know there may be some suitable mistakes for TV Home, such as any News 24 ones!

The programme is a repeat, Its been on 1 or 2 times before.
I don't think there are any clips from the 'corporate' or [B][B][C] BBC eras

Still a good programme though!

Isn't it just a repeat of the one shown last year with Kirsty Young at C5 Eclipse and all their problems? I found the tape I taped that on the other week!

This is a repeat - I've seen it before. It follows Kirsty Young and her 5News team covering the Eclipse 99 showing all the technical difficulties. Plus all the cockups.

I saw Philip Hayton on the trailer and thats what made me look!

If I remember it shows Scott Chishum (spelling!?) suddenly singing in the middle of a Sky programme!

Yeah - I know Sky News newsreaders have a personality but that clips seems a little too fake to me. Was this before Sky News was on air when they were just testing? It has the original presentation.

Cheers, Asa

I think the biggest 'cock-up' was when the 6 O'Clock BBC News studio was invaded by protesters, and Sue Lawly had to sit one of them. I think that's in that show.
