BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty halts live broadcast to address show blunder

On Friday, BBC Breakfast had to be briefly interrupted after a technical glitch occurred on set. Presenter Naga Munchetty was preparing viewers for a segment when she experienced the hiccup.

She remarked: "In the last 24 hours, the BBC has been looking at some of the challenges facing the industry as part of a campaign called Farm Watch set up to inform and educate the public about what it is really like to be a farmer, take a look."

"Well you could have had a look but we haven't got it, unfortunately," Naga conceded. "But what we can do is show you a feed at this moment in time.."

The errors continued, leading to a mix-up before the presenter laughed it off saying, "Oh," noticing another technical blunder. "Well, it is a frozen combine harvester. This is great," reports the Express.

She attempted to recover the situation, commenting: "Oh no there it is, is it moving," and added, trying to identify the machinery: "He is moving there. Is it a combine harvester or a tractor... You know what? If you want to know things like that, what you do is you get a guest in who knows."

As they turned to their in-studio guests, Charlie Stayt reflected on the morning's issues, implying there was a parallel with the topic at hand.

He observed: "I suppose in a way what happened there is a bit like farming, isn't it? Things don't always go according to plan and you have to deal with things and cope in the moment."

BBC Breakfast also saw a shake-up among presenters as the show welcomed Sarah Keith-Lucas, who was stepping in for the usual weather correspondent, Carol Kirkwood.
