Many of these are from when the BBC first began its 24 hour rolling news, with automated cameras. The scheduled News programmes are much more efficient and professional…most of the time. The Far East correspondent whose daughter…and then baby…. And then wife crashed into the interview kept us all entertained during Covid. It was one of those bloopers that just kept on giving. Lovely stuff!

[@philjones45]

they'd just moved to an automated camera system, things went awry for a couple of weeks, but has been perfect in recent years.

[@BlackxGarden]

In the UK if you have a minor shunt like that in traffic you just go and find somewhere safe to stop and exchange details. Emergency services would typically only be called if there was a serious accident, or if there was something else going on, like the other driver started acting threatening towards you or seemed to be drunk. There is a criminal charge here for leaving the scene of an accident, but it only applies if you don't do one of the following: (a) stop in a safe place and give the other driver(s) your information, or (b) call your local police station to report the accident within 24 hours.

[@amandag5072]

You don't have to phone the police within 24 hours - you should probably be calling your insurance company though.

[@barlimanbutterbur9103]

If I remember correctly the one that kept showing static images and kept saying breaking news was down to a software fault and it needed to be restarted which took several minutes

[@aaronhall5796]

That's right. The system crashed literally as they went onto air. There is a back up system that should have cut in but that crashed too. Network had handed control of bbc one over to bbc news team in broadcasting house. The reason Huw just sat there was they had no clue whether this was being broadcast on bbc one and the news channel (which it was). All they could do was sit and wait for the system to reboot itself.

[@valeriehadfield7083]

Watch the segment where a man was interviewed and asked his opinion on a matter. He turned out to be someone who had come in for an interview. It's a funny clip.

Both Tomasz Schafernaker (from BBC Weathr) and Amy Garcia (from Look North) have their moments. In Tomasz's case it is him being suddenly on air doing something hilarious. THe time he managed to sneak I am feeling very windy into a serious weather forecast and actually be referring to the storm that was heading towards the UK, well played sir, well played. THe absolute funniest was Siri joining in to correct him, when even the gallery cracks up and is heard on air you know it is fantastic, someone from off screen asked if that's his watch, and Tomasz confirmed it was and that Siri must have been listening. The other great one was Tomasz goofing around thinking he wasn't on air only too be caught giving the finger to someone he was joking around with and suddenly be caught mid bird with an oh crap what did I do... look. To be fair he apologized for the latter two and went on wih the forecast, but he has been overcome by giggles as well and had to laugh his way through a forecast before because of antics that never make it to camera, I'm assuming it's people in the studio making him laugh or in his earpiece doing much the same. Does not help Tomasz does not fit the ultra serious stuffy weather forecaster type the BBC has had in the past that would never laugh or show emotion. Tomas does and he is loved for it.

In fairness, the motion controlled cameras work much better these days. They had a lot of bloopers when they first installed them on the BBC News set. Teething troubles. They clearly needed to learn how to use the new system and got it wrong an awful lot at the beginning. There was chaos for a few weeks, when first installed. But it's pretty much perfect now.

Very rarely to I see that name come up so I have to ask the question, any relation to Arthur and, by marriage, to Boris - or William? Hm. An investigation, perhaps.

[@MarkPentler]

The one with the breaking news stings was absolute torture. The vision switcher, automation, and a lot of other things in the gallery had crashed seconds before they went on air on the main BBC1 network and also News24. Because of the tally light on the camera Huw had a good instinct to know he may be on air and being seen, so he decided to just sit quietly until someone told him they were ready to go. It turned out to be the correct decision. I miss Huw, absolute pro, and it's a shame he has exploded his entire career.

There was a headline recently, the other day in fact about safety reports having a car crash in it. No I am not making that up. It's not even the first time, or even on that road.

There was a classic in 1988 when the BBC news room was stormed by Gay Rights Activists in protest of a law "banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools" (Aside - yes, this has been an ongoing fight since 1988 and before). They were loud, not violent and the feed was cut quite quickly, but a newsreader restrained one and, lacking other options before the police arrived, sat on her. This prompted the headline "Beeb man sits on Lesbian".

[@Nukaria]

the cars bumping into each other, probably were pulling over somewhere safe to assess the damage, roads are too small to just stay in lane and hold up all the traffic, if your car can still move and isn't smoking, then yeh. best move it to the curb or something.

The studio with the newsroom in the background (studio e) and the one which looks similar (studio c) had automatic cameras when they opened them. Apparently the big issue is once the camera is told do something there is no way to stop it. So the presenter is told to be on the catwalk but the desk option is the camera. It was the first set that cameras were included in vision as part of the set design. There's a great video of martine Crowell vs the cameras showing all the times the cameras went awol on her kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXyno39qjqegrNksi=ZwzSwXE4DOi2uDjK
