James Naughtie refers to Jeremy Hunt as "Jeremy Cunt"

[FrancisIsFilming]

HA! He's amazing, when he's trying not to laugh... amazing.

[OneEyePI]

....................Broadband.­..............

[xcocobEllex]

it's just the way he tries to say it's a coughing fit... when we KNOW why he's laughing... yes Jim.. we heard

[Makashi11]

Naughty Naughtie.

[gthreek]

about ... broadband

[fn55]

Got to be worth the licences fee alone.

[pinner201]

This is priceless stuff. Jim has a tendency to giggle! And why not? This is radio at its best - live, real and bloody good.

[poskwaa]

hahaha what a hunt

[willscomix]

Cupid Stunt would be proud!

[pinner201]

Wonderful stuff

[RWstunts]

Haha, he's trying not to laugh at the mistake, also he's thinking "well, there goes my job"

[largesatsuma]

Sounds like he's gonna be sick.

[battycrease1992]

Whilst trying not to laugh, he is trying to also pass it off as a "coughing fit". Truth.

[TubeDestroyer2010]

He's trying not to laugh, assholes!

[Troublesome961]

@TubeDestroyer2010

trying not to laugh??!!! are you serious? the guy was soooo embarrassed you could hear his life slipping away right out of his throat !!

[TubeDestroyer2010]

@Troublesome961 Fuckin' idiot

[adamlyons87]

@TubeDestroyer2010 - you're an idiot if you think he's trying not to laugh! He's clearly just realised what he's said and what trouble he's likely to be in.

[TubeDestroyer2010]

@adamlyons87 Fuckin' idiot

[dravidr007]

done on purpose

[dravidr007]

dont on purpose

[cokeaddict08]

if i was in that studio i would not have been able to stop myself from wetting myself laughing!

[PotatoesForYourFace]

He sounds like he's having a massive stroke... "Acc...esss.. to the FAAAAAASTEST!! BrrrroaaaaaaaadBAND!"

[sprottlemong]

fucking funny made me piss myself like a cunt

[notgillcup]

"Egypt has called an international hark experts to ingestigate a series of attacks *coughs* in the Red Sea, Pardon me, Coughing fit. LOL!!!

[ArmandDeluxe]

EPIC.

[alonzodoodahs]

What a cunning stunt!

[alonzodoodahs]

What a cunning stunt!

[djhyperhardcore]

watch?v=xboWtdeGw7U

[Exeunt26]

Ouch!! He actually sounds in pain trying not to laugh!

[comenowmrbond]

Keep going, James - what a pro!

[chrish12345]

He clearly meant to say this otherwise he wouldn't have reacted like that. Bit of a laugh, why not do this from time to time, makes life a better place in my opinion.

[iamaweasel]

Actually I think you will all find that Jim N had a Houghing fit......

[iamaweasel]

This is up there with the Johnners on tms & the delightful 'leg-over' incident . & I missed it! Usually the Today programme is my wake-up call. I did catch the f''...ing on the Radcliffe and Maconie show last week which was brill' Andrew Marr did the same as Naughtie in his Start the Week show, immediately after. And an MP did the same in the Commons this afternoon too! Jeremy H(c)unt's political career is dead, dead, dead!

[cbr600cbr600]

Absolutely made my day. Still laughing now. Good corpsing, James!



[mrpaulbarry]

Good old BBC setting standards in broadcasting !

[MikeSynonymous]

He tries to make out like he has a dry throat AFTER the slip up! Either that or his throat actually did actually dry up due to his foot being so far down it! To be fair that particular word is just an English word, replaced by a favoured Norman word and Latin, along with various other pseudonyms!

[Oscar301]

followed by a story on the West Bank

[jellybrain01]

Made my morning, nice one Radio 4, more of the same please :-)

[jingshelpmaboab]

Funniest thing on the radio for ages... poor old Jim, trying to keep going with Evan Davis giggling in the background...

[jagara1]

Nice one James - trying to get a cough in there to hide calling him a cunt!

Or maybe I am being disingenuous....

I listen to the Today program and am sorry I missed this one :)

[EASYTIGER10]

He's a cunning linguist

[tvcrunkfool]

poor guy but what a legend

[WizardKing78]

James Naughtie is pretty blunt... I mean... *cough*

... Cunt!

[wtfdoyouwantmetoput]

LOL, 'coughing fit'

[diskgrinder]

despite a po-faced report on channel news just gone, at least Jon Snow smiled about it. 

[Dezzasheep]

Broadband

[zcheeseolly]

It sounds like he has very bad constipation.

[dj4beat]

quality

[mark0365]

Loooooool

[GameGeezerGibbo]

Is he dying laughing or dying crying?

[Yosh2006]

:D That's all, just :D

[Kevster1993]

He sounds like he starts to die after he says the oopsie.

I think a Radio 4 official had his hands round his neck.

[TheRollingstones1964]

@Kevster1993 He's trying not to laugh.

[mpwheatley]

I heard it live and I was quite worried that he was having a stroke!

[FoolBritannia]

Funniest thing on radio in years!

[mugenzi]

Love it.



[Youfugginwhat]

Truth will out... 

[DanjelV8]
