03.14 | A bit late, but still

For anyone watching the latest episodes of '24' on BBC3, you might have noticed A FUCKING LOUD VOICEOVER being played IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF last Sunday night's '12PM - 1PM' episode.

'24' fan Carl Ellis was so annoyed he wrote to Stuart Murphy, the controller of BBC3. Carl has been kind enough to me reproduce the gist of it all on the website. Here's some of what Carl wrote:

As a series that demands viewers pay attention, it's bad enough that we must put up with the BBC3 DOG and pointless on-screen next graphics, but how can we follow the plot when lines of dialogue are obscured by an overexcited Mockney muppet promoting the largely pointless 'Pure 24'?

Thanks for your very passionate note.

I'm really sorry about the interruption in the show: it was a technical error in the TX suite and I was just as unhappy about it, I can assure you.

I hope you continue to enjoy the BBC's output, and thanks for letting us know.

This was a deliberate 'mistake'. The voice-over started as soon as the President Palmer stopped talking and provided a break in the dialogue. The BBC3 voice-over was obviously meant to be crammed in before someone started talking again, but the timing was out.

Whatever next, eh? Ten episodes of Eastenders a week? Or what, eh?
