Channel 4's popular weekend show, Sunday Brunch, was thrown into chaos this morning as a major technical fault rendered the programme almost unwatchable for its loyal audience. Hosts Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy were left battling what viewers described as 'excruciating' and 'painful' audio problems throughout the broadcast.
Frustrated fans immediately took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice their displeasure. One exasperated viewer wrote, "What is going on with the sound on Sunday Brunch? It's so echoey and awful. Sort it out @Channel4." The sentiment was echoed across the platform, with another adding, "The sound on Sunday Brunch is absolutely shocking today. Unwatchable."
The issues were so severe that many long-time fans were forced to switch off entirely. "Sound on Sunday Brunch is unbearable today. Had to turn over," one viewer stated, highlighting the severity of the disruption. The persistent audio glitches, characterised by a harsh echo and inconsistent levels, plagued the show's interviews and segments, making for a frustrating viewer experience.
This is not the first time the Channel 4 programme has faced technical difficulties, but the scale and intensity of today's complaints suggest a significant on-air blunder. The production team has yet to issue a public statement addressing the widespread sound malfunctions that overshadowed the show's usual culinary banter.
