Fit of giggles for BBC newsreader
Saturday, 29 March 2008 10:59
The BBC switchboard was said to be in 'meltdown' after a newsreader collapsed in a fit of giggles in the middle of a bulletin yesterday.
Charlotte Green had just introduced an item about the oldest known recording of the human voice on the Radio 4 Today programme.
As the recording of a woman singing the French song Clair de Lune, made in 1860, played, somebody in the studio apparently whispered in her ear that it sounded like a bee buzzing in a bottle.
The result was an uncontrollable fit of the giggles from Ms Green as she announced the death of screenwriter Abby Mann.
Thousands of callers asked to hear a repeat performance.
