BBC Breakfast has been slammed as 'completely unwatchable' by furious viewers following a broadcast riddled with a cascade of technical hiccups and painfully awkward on-air moments.
The morning show's professionalism was called into question during a particularly chaotic segment featuring former Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries. The interview was plagued by a significant audio delay, creating a cringe-worthy exchange of overlapping dialogue and confused pauses between presenter Jon Kay and the MP.
But the troubles didn't stop there. In a separate incident, regular contributor Mike Bushell suffered an embarrassing on-air pratfall, stumbling over his words in a moment that left viewers cringing. The show's weather forecast was also hit by a bizarre technical fault, with maps failing to appear on screen as planned.
Taking to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, audiences did not hold back their criticism. One viewer bluntly declared the programme had become 'absolute car crash TV,' while another lamented, 'It’s so bad it’s actually painful to watch.'
The litany of errors has sparked a wider debate about the quality and reliability of the BBC's flagship morning news programme, with many long-time fans expressing their deep disappointment at the declining production standards.
