BBC Breakfast viewers were left scratching their heads this morning when they spotted an identical mistake repeated in back-to-back segments of the popular morning show.
The blunder occurred during Thursday's broadcast when presenters Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty introduced two separate reports about the same topic - both featuring the exact same error in their on-screen graphics.
Social Media Erupts Over Repeated Mistake
Sharp-eyed fans quickly took to social media to point out the gaffe, with many expressing disbelief that the error had made it through the production team's quality checks not once, but twice.
"Did anyone else notice BBC Breakfast using the wrong graphic twice this morning?" tweeted one viewer, while another wrote: "Proofreading clearly isn't a priority at BBC Breakfast today!"
Production Team Under Scrutiny
The repeated mistake has raised questions about the show's editorial processes, with media experts suggesting that tighter quality control measures might be needed for the early morning programme.
This isn't the first time BBC Breakfast has found itself at the centre of an on-air blunder. The show has previously faced criticism for technical glitches and presenting errors, though rarely has the same mistake appeared twice in quick succession.
Viewers Divided on Reaction
While some viewers found the error amusing, others expressed concern about declining standards in broadcast journalism. "If they can't get simple graphics right, how can we trust them with important news?" questioned one concerned viewer.
However, many loyal fans rushed to defend the programme, pointing out that live television inevitably comes with occasional mistakes. "It's 5am - cut them some slack!" tweeted one supporter.
The BBC has yet to comment on whether an internal review will be conducted following today's on-air blunder.
