Huw Edwards calmly reading and taking notes while people quietly panic behind a pane of glass is almost poetic. Is it not his role on this program to calmly read, digest, and present the news while viewers quietly panic in front of the television screen? Seriously, I think this clip is found art. It's a modern-day Duchamp.
It's uncanny how the malfunctioning software seemed to have a knack for comedic timing. If I didn't know it was a live technical fault, I would have assumed it was a TH-cam editor's parody (like the Dr. Phil "stares in silence" video).
Staff in background rushing around and one lady answering the phone and staring towards the camera in disbelief. On the other end of phone, her pal explains that she can see her and that it has all gone to shit.
As an art piece, this is actually very conceptual. It highlights the relationship between information that we normally conceive of as "news", and the social structures, rituals and technology used to deliver it. The video opens with a BBC countdown to the normal news, which functions to focus the viewer - then suddenly it breaks away to a graphic in bold reds, with the words "Breaking News". The breakaway starts again and again, yet in sharp contrast, no "news"/meaningful information is conveyed. Then the video breaks away to a beautifully-designed, world-class news studio with a very serious-looking, professional gentleman in his late middle age, wearing a tastefully-designed suit with colors well-chosen for his complexion, hair color, and studio colors. We see the man sitting, waiting patiently for...what? Something to happen? Some "news" to be collated and processed, prepared for the viewer? Is he digesting the implications of some news he has already heard? Occasionally we see breakaways to well-designed and edited graphics, which function to convey a sense of import, but with the precise meaning or significance stripped away, or made superfluous. There is a head shot of a well-dressed middle-aged man, with symbols of some EU organization placed in the background...a shot of a slow funeral procession, the exact significance of which remains obscure. We get subtle reminders of the power and capabilities of the technology, as the camera operator zooms, pans, and subtly experiments with the view of the man in the center of the image. These are all reminders that content itself, in the modern world, is or may be rendered, superfluous. There is a sense of calmness and preparedness-to-begin in the studio, and in the people in the background, but no sense of panic or urgency. There is a sense, instead, of being very focused, prepared, aware. One almost has the sense that this is a live feed to the prayer room in a Buddhist temple. It conveys the idea that even the "nothingness" of no news, is content in and of itself, analogous to the idea in quantum physics that even empty space has fluctuations in density, and subatomic particles wink in and out of existence all the time. The real triumph of this work is when the man begins to speak at the end. We hear him begin to talk at length about some aspect of Brexit, similar to the countless news stores about the implications of Brexit we've heard over the past year, and instantly the viewer is turned off. Or rather, in the viewer's mind, the "news", now that we've finally start to know what it is, is converted to filler, something added at the end to shore up the 4 minutes of pure form we've seen up until this point. Form and content are brilliantly reversed in an instant. This is perhaps one of the most wonderful works of conceptual art ever produced by the BBC. It's reminiscent of Warhol, without the tedium and excessive length, and really makes the viewer think about the relationship between the news and the media: does the media serve to deliver the news, or is the news something that is spontaneously generated when all the elements of the media are brought together in concert? This really deserves to be an entry in one of the larger international film festivals.
For me it was because it kept saying BREAKING NEWS with intense music but nothing was happening. Breaking News! Guy sits at desk! lol Nothing broke here but the news itself.
Some poor tech person's quick thinking is to just replay the "Breaking News" intro in case it works. Hopefully he'd notice or hear something!? It's funny that someone thought repeating it would 'reset' the whole segment somehow. Sooooo funny!
How is it even possible for a broadcast to go that wrong for that long? … Only thing I can think of that makes sense is that a 12-year old was left in charge of the control room.
Wow, the full thing just shows what a mega balls up this was... I previously had just seen Huw being silent and doing his scribblings. Nice to see the full thing.
I remember seeing this live and being in freaking tears. The breaking news music and graphic continually popping up destroyed me. I'm in tears again laughing at this video. 😂😂😂
Always come back to laugh at this, I can imagine someone in the vision gallery panicking and shouting "stop pressing the bloody breaking news button!" 😂
This is likely not a live broadcast, but a practice/technical run that was recorded. No other explanation for how it ran on for so long, and so strangely.
nobody on the studio can say something to the anchor that he´s live??, or go to commercials meanwhaile?, or music?, or the BBC Globe instead?? (or maybe he get noticed of the disaster and he has not say anything that could get worst the situation... )
The news is so breaking, it continues to break over and over again.
I guess they should call it broken news instead
Congratulations you broke the news
Welcome to broken bbc news
Can you imagine the chaos and swearing in the control room????!!!!!

Best youtube comment ever!
Why is this one of the funniest things I've ever seen 😂😂😂

0:55 onwards with the camera zooming out dramatically killed me
This is why you don't let David Lynch run the news.

When they said "breaking news" they actually meant it
IRL YTP.
Someone should make a 24 hour version
This is some tim and eric shit too though
Looked for this comment and was not disappointed
We're interrupting these breaking news for some breaking news 😂
We're breaking the news
I heard from some people they actually thought their tv was glitching.
‘Breaking news’ - Oh the irony
The comedic timing of this is perfection. The first time I saw it I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe 😂
I fucking love Vaporwave.

It was all going so well until the countdown finished.
I've never known what it's like to die of laughter until now

I love how he just starts talking as soon as the music kicks in.
The "News At Ten" had to be delayed this evening as they were waiting for "Snopes" to verify an important news item.
I'm not joking when I say this might be the hardest I've ever laughed at anything
3:17 "pick up milk on way home"
He must be looking at some memes on the computer screen
2:00 is what got me. 🤣
Within 2 minutes you see the atmosphere in the background go from "haha what the fuck?"... to "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"
*BREAKING NEWS* - Nothing is happening today!
I have not laughed this hard this entire year..
I wonder if anybody got fired after this.
This is my favorite video of all time
Wow that table must be so damn interesting
I believe he has a computer monitor underneath the glass; note the mouse on the viewers’ left.

Wel you're not going to come back to laugh at this anymore
@@Connie_TinuityError because he did something in his personal life that's none of our public business?
Huw Edwards will never sleep at 10 because there are news at 10 made by the BBC
Yours truly, BBC News
This is the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen.
This is brilliant. I never laughed so much like thìs before.
Tonight at 10.00, more like tonight at 10.04
Imagine if this had happened when they announced the Queen dying
Chris Morris finally got his hands on the actual news

I was watching this live and I was confused

Still my favorite video ever
thanks cinco
There must be a communications error or something
I cried with laughter.
I hope BBC from UK will fix all bloopers.
Omg dramatic scenes @ 1:49
Also, that man is soooo patient. Surprised he didn't have a phone in hand checking the news or playing word games in the gap.
Wait, why would he be checking the news if he knows the news?
did his microphone die or something
This is the evening news. With hew Edwards.
Hew? Hew? H-HEW? HEW? YO- YOUR ON AIR MATE.
HHEEEEEEWWWWW
How genuine is this? OMG! Any idea, how BBC clarified as a follow up?
The funniest bit is what Philip Hammond said about Brexit right at the end...
I believe this person knew he was on air. He looked directly at the camera and raised his eyebrows 😅

what is the problem?
Waiting goes on air
This is likely not a live broadcast, but a practice/technical run that was recorded. No other explanation for how it ran on for so long, and so strangely.
It was live a few years ago, BBC blanked out the last 2 minutes while it was live with an error screen but released the full footage after.
Nobody:
GTA npcs when free-camera mode:
please can i use this for a skit
The news definitely broke alright
2:45 Signs of being Bored

Huw looks very disappointed with his desk
This doesn't even feel real I'm laughing so hard rn
Technology is having a nervous breakdown, under the strain of reporting on so much human idiocy : Brexit, Trump.Tory government etc.....
fuck off commie traitor
Looks like you’re the one doing the idiocy with daft comments like that
