BBC’s Epic Newsroom Fail Leaves Presenter Twiddling His Thumbs In Silence Live On Air

As far as newsroom fails go, this recent one by BBC is definitely right up there with Natasha Exelby’s from a couple of months back.

And, as you would expect, viewers were quick to point out the gaffe on social media.

Even Edwards himself joked about the spectacular fail on Twitter.
