BBC News 24 Announcer Gaffe

[theantinwofish]

If only they owned up to the rest of their "mistakes" so graciously.

[grungeface87]

Joanna Gosling would get one.

[AutumnPolitics]

british people r retrated

[DarkenIsGod]

@AutumnPolitics

Trolololololololol oh ho ho ho ho!

[TheGudZeBadAnDaFozzy]

@AutumnPolitics and your Australian, we're even ;)

[Middsyuwe]

@AutumnPolitics You're the retrated one.

[TheZildjianride]

Bravo! Love being British...how very polite we are :) Americans would have just sworn at each other haha

[petitpois2007]

don't they have an autocue?

[992799279927]

@petitpois2007 NO thank God. That would be awful. I don't want to watch someone reading something to me - I can read fine myself!

[zionravescene]

She wouldn't have got it wrong if only she listened to The Worricker Programme on BBC Radio Five Live.

[jamboram]

lol! i have saw that happen a lot on bbc news...

[stellaviolens]

Gosling always was an airhead. Her other notable achievement on news 24 was flashing her ass to the cameras on the breakfast show.

Now she looks more like leather face with deep pan and false tan.

[TheJDC1989]

@stellaviolens Id still tap that.

[AlbertBundy]

I like how she keeps laughing even as the guy is talking about somebody being convicted of manslaughter.

[TobiasCunningham]

"Julian Warricker! Good evening."

[simplename92]

i cant believe youve done this

[feltonw]

british have good manners. thats awesome.

[SminkiPinki666]

stroppy..

[pinkelephants12]

lol i do love how well the bbc handles things like that...

if that was fox or sky you just know that there would be histerics for like 20mins

[barneyffc]

Classic British dealing with something like that in such a professional way super

[AlatarielNerwen]

This is great, and yes the lady in the back was having fits. What a good laugh and even better is the way they handled it, real class.

[TheRylics]

hahaha

makes you proud to be british eh

"its quite alright" haha

[Loifalluc]

Only Brits could get out of this situation so graciously

[xxCyanideRosexx]

@Loifalluc ....yeah...sure...I admire you .. =P

[taiyo06]

What are cocklers?

[raising1987]

They both handled it well.She appologized, and he was gracious enough.

[Komodo867]

Shit happens!

[trembleagain]

If she could remember his first name, she's too intelligent to be on the BBC.

[animesis]

@trembleagain

The worlds premier news channel doesnt deserve intelligent readers?

[klewis511]

Watch the woman in green in the Control Room. She's goin' bananas!

[mubd]

Oh yeah. She covers her mouth with disbelief and then she leans back and covers her eyes, then she walks off.

[champions1]

how the hell did you know that she was going 2 make that mistake???????

[emmyj911]

Well, according to some at Fox News, the BBC is run by communists.

[b33p]

haha, it's just funded via the government. The government does not have any role in the running of the business.

[andyee]

It's a public service broadcaster, it is not run by the goverment at all!

FOX News = audience for uneducated.

[animesis]

@emmyj911

Well that just speaks for itself really doesnt it ^^;;

[LeboviciAB84]

I think it was very professional how they didn't allow the mistake to trivialise the story about a Chinese gangmaster being convicted on twenty-one counts of manslaughter.

Hmmm. Well, these things happen.

[HarryHayfield]

That's nothing. If you believe the presenters (based on past goofs), the channel is called BBC News 25, London is in the centre of the UK and all Conservative councillors are on the extreme right!
