Very funny, infectious giggling: Newsreader corpses on air

[DaveyL1954]

It would have been good if ALL of the news item had been played here, methinks

[carrot1997]

Huh? 

[MichaelHansenFUN]

what?

[centralseat]

thumb down

[ripousse]

how is this rated as a 4 stars ?

[MrHairyNutz]

1 star for nothing

[keefybaby2007]

fukin'ell!.....16 friggin' seconds!

[Pentdad]

What the hell is going on, Iv been looking for this clip for ages and its been fucked.

[nevetstheo]

look up the clip bbc newsreader laughs at death, its the full version!

[marksoutof10]

..I was right. This video originally had a running time of a minute and nineteen seconds. Something's gone seriously wrong somewhere.

[marksoutof10]

So what's happened? Has this video been edited? If so, why on earth? The whole point of the clip is gone.

[caspe34monty]

conspiricy???

[dukes007]

errr where's the laughing? the good bit?

[macthornberg]

I would love to know what REALLY made you corpse Charlotte. BTW what a beautiful voice.

[pacemaker29]

Once you start, it's hard to stop!

[HitlerCakes]

Ahaha

[JohnDiverMorgan]

Charlotte you are wonderful. Thank you.

[gf7215]

poor girl

[jaytee414]

jeez you are really so sad

[MancBluesman]

Like a motorbike anorak

[DarylStafford]

You sort of needed to be there to appreciate it. I listen to the Today programme most days and it was quite unexpected. I thought she was crying at first. She's done it before when reading an article about a sperm whale

[Schnorbs]

@DarylStafford Yes, it was a sperm whale, following a report about Papua New Guinea's Major General Jack Tuat.

[aumwithy]

watch?v=DcWS3kZM8uE

[parkour30]

that was it? ... didn't live up to the hype at all

[giulimaster2006]

i think you'll find it does...

[elganthomas]

Proves were all human! hehe bloody hillarious tho!

[cheeseandbiscuits]

Brilliant!!!

[boyoflove1]

fab! how refreshing to hear people laughing at something funny on the radio for a change  - you could learn something chris moyles yah bore :0)

[canley1]

Giggling on air would have been a sackable offence in the old days of the B.B.C: In fact being a woman would have been a sackable offence back then!!

Maybe she's auditioning for radio 5 dead, they like this sort of thing on there.

And they wonder why the very fabric of our society is crumbling...

Now where was I?

[AKAawesomevideos]

Stfu canley, nobody cares.

[canley1]

Learn to spell before you post!!

[AKAawesomevideos]

Well, I did spell right, other then the fact that I shortened the phrase "Shut the fuck up". But then again, why do I care?

[canley1]

OOh get you!!

[hendabomb]

Learn to punctuate. The exclamation mark is best used sparingly not at the end of each sentence and certainly not used twice. A small point but I feel it pays to be accurate with your grammar when you criticise someone's spelling.

[dloverise]

dude - it should read "other than" and not "other then"

peace.

[thebadrash]

You know what you should do? You should write a letter. That's what you should do.

[Mitch1984]

It does sound like bees in a bottle.

[maeveness]

i was listening to that

lol its hilarious

[TheMiniEvilGuy]

Lol she dropped something.

[speciaIk85]

i knew there was something different

[speciaIk85]

and you have a weird face

[suzyQ2795]

my dad told me about it in the paper so i was like okay but when i heard this i know they'll be talking about this for a while and besides it's such a serious station and they laughed at that one thing

[wolstan]

apparently someone whispered in her ear that the song sounded like a bee buzzing in a bottle

[UnmuffledRyan]

LOL, trying to sound like crying, but actually creasing up HARD

[locker3107]

was she crying

[Ihateprovos]

Thats bloody class, never listened to radio 4 in my life and never will but when someone laughs like that its bloody awesome. She heard how crap that music was and someone with her obviously looked at her as if to say 'what the fuck is that shite and it set her off'. Love it. Made my day. Brilliant random chaos, cant beat it with a big stick

[Ihateprovos]

ps, if you keep listening over and over you can actually hear the presenter snorting half way through which sets her off

[LokiMD]

Brilliant. :)

[rockin09]

Classic British humour at its very best!!! Well done Charlotte and thank you for making me laugh so hard this morning!!

[WePuTtHeMdOwN]

hilarious! and yea, that Donut hole guy needs to lighten up!! Nutinisgirl - i completely agree!!!

[Paddywacks]

Don't worry folks. Donut Holes gets off on annoying people - he actually says so.

Just ignore it and don't give him any fun.

Charlotte Green rocks!

[nutinisgirl]

Cracking, its good to see those at Radio 4 arent immune from infectious laughing! BossDONUTHOLES200 - get a life you loser, the only thing thats shameful is your comment - YOU are all that is wrong with this country. I think you should quit the country and go elsewhere.

[tpwood]

i'm 21 and was in my mums car when this came on. i hate radio 4, especially in the morning, its a bit depressing when you are on the way to work which is bad enough. but this was hilarious, she tries so hard to keep it in! so british! i'm a CG fan now!

[richard2k5]

The people who won't get this are mostly Americans or people who dont know what Radio 4 is about. Radio 4 is such a serious station this is awesome!

[lesthepost]

think thats great, the lady is only human after all.hope she didnt get sack

[giulimaster2006]

i don't know why everyones saying it's not funny when clearly it is especially as i've never heard a newsreader on radio laugh like that before! i think you need to put your happy head on BossDONUTHOLES200!

[sjlondonuk]

yeah bossDon u freak! this is awesome!

[rockin09]

are you american by any chance?

[BossDONUTHOLES200]

Ok this is not funny. I don't know what to make of this. It's stupid really, and I did not laugh. What funny anyway?

[dougchapel1977]

the fact you havent got a sense of humour ?

[raundswife]

I nearly drove of the road listening to this! It wouldn't be so funny if it wasn't some poor mans death lol They actually appologised to his family later on in the day.

[kwame83]

Awesome!

[cafetoledo]

Simply great !!!

[bertyblue]

I guess what makes it even funnier is the fact that she's got such a professional sounding voice, and it's Radio 4 of all stations! If this happened on Radio 1 or Capital etc. it wouldn't have been remotely funny.

[jasetheaceukuk]

This is a classic, I listened live too...

[bertyblue]

she sounds very girly...it's quite girly...I like girlies

[hardimpct]

i mean, if you gotta laugh, why try to prevent it..just let it out! :D

[carltonreid]

I heard it live, and loved it. It was obvious this would be an instant classic!

[JayKing131]

So funny!! I love/hate those giggles when you're not allowed laugh...

[Cfor20]

This is great - I can empathise entirely with poor(?) Ms Green. I had a fit of the giggles once when on an important business call until a senior director intervened!
