These TV News Bloopers Were Caught On Camera And Will Go Down In History

Technical Difficulties

In 2017, the BBC had one of the biggest news blunders of all time. Not only that, but it occurred to a presenter of over 25 years, Hugh Edwards, on one of the channel’s biggest shows: BBC Nightly News at 10. When millions of viewers from all around the world tuned it, they were treated to one of the longest technical glitches in TV history.

For nearly three minutes, which is quite a while on live TV, a technical fault bombarded viewers with random video clips broken up by the loud “Breaking News” announcement. Every so often, the program would cut to Edwards, who sat silently at the news desk, looking over his notes. According to Edwards, he had no idea anything was going on. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the presenter started the show, as if nothing happened.
