    Ha Ha, I was watching the 6.1 news last night and I immediately thought of this thread. They were doing their usual round up of stories from around the country but during it the vt jumped from the middle of one story into the taxi strike story already a couple of seconds in. When it went back to the studio there were a couple of dazed looks but no apologies for the cockup.
    Noticed that as well. It might have slid by me in my dozey state but for someone mentioning that sort of thing as semi commonplace in this thread. They looked a bit confused. They knew. They should have acknowledged the cockup.

    I think the best I ever saw was when the news finished that bit early and it skipped onto the weather only to see the winking weatherman Gerald Fleming; fiddling away with the autocue throwing it up into the air and catching it only to hear someone saw we are live, and he faced the camera and with a look of a rabbit caught in flashlights. I met him once and he is a gas fella, really bad teeth though.

    Similarly another time the other weather woman Evelyn Cusack sadly proclaimed they could not do the weather as their autocue was broken.

    Bosco is bollocks was a gem from the days of zig and zag. With Sky+ such moments should become more readily available on youtube from now on.

    Michael Gately,
    Senior Programme Viewer*

    What a job! He must have committed quite a heinous crime to become the Senior Programme Viewer. Or maybe he just watches programmes suitable for seniors?

    they are basically paid to watch a show.. to check for violence / swearing and so on... big **** up on there part if they dident notice the above...

    the news is live so you should let them away with the odd **** up on that...

    Another cock up from RTÉ.

    RTÉ2 on Thursday Morning fecked up Reaper. Delayed by 7 mins so they could show some crappy filler program about cocktails. Net result last 7 mins of Repear were not recorded by Sky Plus. :mad:

    As someone who watches RTE only for certain sporting events and the odd bit of news I feel I'm missing out on so much. Someone please put together a blooper reel for youtube! :D
