There are not enough Americans commenting here. How can anyone find this not enjoyable?! I absolutely laughed my ass off for every single one of these!
I was interviewed on BBC News in a rather depressing context. At the time I was working as a broadcast technician at the Norwegian equivalent of the BBC. I protested when they wanted to do a Skype conversation, saying I was literally able to patch through an uncompressed HD feed to the BBC from the studio floor where I was sitting. But they said it would be easier to do it on Skype. So there I sat live on the Beeb, with a MacBook's internal camera, literally sitting atop the box lens of a Sony HD camera... I'd never felt so dirty in my life...
Tore - 8 years later - I feel for you buddy. But looking at this, they barely have control over their own cameras. Despite the difference in quality, a Skype call was probably their safest option. Sucks when you are held back from doing your best by other people's fear or ineptitude.
12:37 - The opening shot of the newsroom we always see, at the top of the BBC's various main bulletins, must surely be a mirrored image. If you look carefully into the studio area, you can just about see that guy running anti-clockwise around the set, yet clockwise when it cuts to the studio camera.
One day a BBC presenter will actually get flustered on air when something goes wrong. I do remember the fuss when they installed those automatic cameras. The British public were tutting quite loudly.
Nice to see the move from Television Centre has been such a success. It saddens me greatly that the BBC has disposed of this iconic building. TVC will always be the home of BBC Television.
I'm ins Scotland and growing up TVC was an icon, top of the pops, doctor who... In 2017 I was in London visiting family and my nephews were taking me to Westfield. That's when I saw the iconic building real life rather than on TV. It still had the BBC logo on it even though the BBC had moved out. I was star struck. My nephews were "yeah it's the bbc". They were unimpressed.
Standing behind a camera all day is just one of the drudges that we have been relieved of by wonderful modern technology. There's no going back after we have been liberated form the soul-destroying mundanity of repetitive and tedious of tasks forced upon unfortunates, often for the entirety of their working lives.
Nemo Theres nothing "wonderful" about having your job stolen or having a robot wipe your arse for you. Belive it or not there most likey is BBC cameramen/women who enjoyed their job. I've been in a BBC studio before, theres an atmosphere to it, certainly a job I would enjoy. When your job gets taken, trust me I will be there laughing saying its "wonderful" just like you did. The future should be about about man and machine working in harmony. I wish some people would see that
***** I know about the BBC too. When I was training to make TV progs, I did my placement in BBC TV and it was tremendously boring; mostly standing around and fiddling about with things. Mind-numbingly dull - especially standing behind a camera. And, as most TV is drivel, I decided that there was no way I would get out of bed to do it. Harmony with robots is irrelevant as bots have no feeling and they can't get bored shitless pointing their lenses at Jeremy Kyle whilst wishing they could see the sky and have real light and fresh air. There is spurious sexiness in TV work. It's as dull as ditchwater.
+Nemo well seeing as you found it dull why were you there? If you dislike TV then it's your fault. Plenty of people love their jobs and work is a human requirement to earn money to live. Are you all there? Only humans are capable of these types of jobs, only the studio being used is suited for this type of operation because it has been specially adapted. But as you can see it isn't very reliable, not to mention, tremendously poor in output quality and I find it very rude. Imagine if they were breaking serious news? The Queen had died or a terrorist attack... it's unreal. Just stinks.
Jack A DUH! You don't know if you will find something dull until you try it. And you are wrong. Robots can clearly be used to move cameras around and you finding the use of them to be "rude" is weird. Perhaps your judgement has been impaired by festive alcohol.
12m03 is so funny with the hyperactive hamster on the screen, but the best is 07m38 when he sees the camera in peripheral vision but tries not to look at it until he just has to LOL
TV guy here. What you might not realize is these cameras are all part of a larger automation system that controls audio, graphics and camera cuts. But the automation is only as good as the person who's coding it. That's why in some parts of this video you can't hear the anchor. Her mic wasn't coded right and the level didn't come up when it needed to. Same reason a story rolls, then the tease starts at 9:12. Could also be that they're advancing accidentally to the next item in the rundown before the story finishes. Like at 09:10. Another observation I've noticed with all these BBC bloopers is it seems the directors don't know how to manually punch the show... So if the automation fails, everyone just kind of sits there awkwardly or the video keeps rolling under the audio or whatever. I'd be curious to know what automation system they use.
i saw some of these as they happened live, i hope they never get rid of the automated cameras, funniest thing i have ever seen is when someone is being dead serious and the camera just trails off
As an American, I loved to see Alex Jones get the mockery he deserves! On the other hand, the BBC might want to rethink its automated camera/cueing thing. It looks like a disaster.
9:08 is the best just because you can feel the sense of “I've fucked it! Quick change back! No wrong tape! No that was the right one! Mash all the buttons!"
MAY 1988 ONE recent Saturday night, Connie Chung, the anchor of the weekend version of ''NBC Nightly News,'' was reading an urgent story about the Middle East, when she began to disappear. The studio camera had inexplicably begun to move from its position, pushing Ms. Chung's image from the screen as it glided across the studio floor. Ms. Chung might have motioned to the cameraman, except there was no cameraman. The source of her distress was a robot, one of NBC's new self-operating cameras, that had apparently gotten a case of wanderlust. The unusual incident was Ms. Chung's personal introduction to the new age of cost efficiency in network television, ((Very Shotly after they instalation they were remove as maintance cost were higher than having a Studio Crew))
News reporter: *Blah blah blah politics politics politics*
Cameras: this is boring, what's that over there!?
Ikr
SQUIRREL!
Lol
Sports Presenters are Better !
In UK it's the cameras that star in bloopers
I watch BBC News 24 religiously and there is literally a blooper every ten minutes
"Literally".
There are a lot of exaggerations for a sentence with the word "literally" in it.
***** Damien Slash is right though. Something goes wrong all the time.
RTE News have a blooper every month. Angus Mc Griana 'WHAT?' is very funny
You must be really up to date with whats going on in the world :P
the amount of errors these automated cameras do i dont know why they dont just go back to manual
AFGuidesHD to
They don't have to pay robots
Plus they've fixed them now, I watch the news everyday and haven't see a camera error like this in years. It was just because they were new
AFGuidesHD I think it's because they've downgraded to Windows 10...
Jack's FSX Videos Hi Jack,I love your videos.so,you are British.
5:00 is brilliant. That man needs an Oscar for that freeze.
"let me just move thi.....fuck...urm.......act cool"
Looked like Peter from Family Guy.
very stylized, let me say.
Amazing 😂😂😂
'Needa move over ther- shit the cameras if I stand still they won't see me'
I'm waiting to hear the robotic cameras start screaming "Exterminate, exterminate!".
Just tune into BBC London News any day of the week - it's like a live bloopers reel.
There are not enough Americans commenting here. How can anyone find this not enjoyable?! I absolutely laughed my ass off for every single one of these!
lol same!
Joetatoe Productions me too

Tore Sinding Bekkedal you aren't in charge of someone else's broadcast. Knob.
Tore - 8 years later - I feel for you buddy. But looking at this, they barely have control over their own cameras. Despite the difference in quality, a Skype call was probably their safest option. Sucks when you are held back from doing your best by other people's fear or ineptitude.
@@handsoffmycactus2958 its been 5 years however i can still argue that you have the right to do what is best for you.
That skyp part was hilarious
+noah2x4 Link for the lazy; 12:02
lmao, oh god, I was quite bored with this video until I saw that bit, thank you both, I nearly peed laughing
Michael Bay decided to record the news that day.
8:00 "We have an idiot on the program today!"
@Pedro Natuba The shouting guy was Alex Jones, the creator of the website and show "InfoWars"-which is largely based on conspiracy theories.
These day's Alex has got major "READ THE STANDING ORDERS!!" vibes
I love how the cameras have a mind of there own!!!
12:10 couldn't stop laughing omg XD
At least he's smiling
5:08 haha he's like "if I stay still they might think I'm a light pole haha"
Those cameras are my spirit animal
they have the same personality as me
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
That's what being someone's spirit animal means, isn't it?!
Lol it's like a kid has been let loose in the studio and is messing around with cameras haha
That zoom at 11:01 always gets me 😂
Me too 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Many camera men were fired
Actually, those cameras are controlled remotely. So probably the software that controls the cameras was failing.
+Jacobo Blandón Pineda ok then many softwares were fired
but it still is awesome, isn´t it? and the ARD is awesome too... they are miles away from the bbc´s awesomeness but they´re awesome for what they do
+joshua gador run on windoz 98 no up date since then
they are automated at BBC
I think they need a new camera technician.
1:40 sweet desktop
Lol
I imagine that's the guy's laptop, maybe he works for the BBC and he just pressed the wrong button.
"you already mentioned Sandra Bollock"
10:19 How to keep cool when presenting with a packet of paper in your hands haha Nex time they should check the printer before going live.
Literally thought it was a box of cereal.
That's the best
8:15 was way funnier to me than it should've been
The cameras were like Daleks.
"We must film the news"
I would be afraid to be on that set with all the cameras running amok. They're probably scoping everyone out, waiting for the perfect time to attack.
12:37 - The opening shot of the newsroom we always see, at the top of the BBC's various main bulletins, must surely be a mirrored image. If you look carefully into the studio area, you can just about see that guy running anti-clockwise around the set, yet clockwise when it cuts to the studio camera.
Komla Dumor, your dulcet tones and seriousness shall be missed. With admiration from the USA.
12:37 james bond is on a mission
1:24 - Is he holding a stack of 200 sheets? 😂
+Michael Hayward This is my favourite one.
*10:19
Some of those bloopers are really funny! Thanks for the laughs with this VT.
hahahah that random zoom at 0:35 is killing me
Forget the robotic cameras, return camera operators! Here we can see that the system does not work in practice.
Those damn bells and cameras😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Dear BBC, please take my licence fee and pay some Camera Operators....
One day a BBC presenter will actually get flustered on air when something goes wrong.
I do remember the fuss when they installed those automatic cameras. The British public were tutting quite loudly.
Great stuff! Everyone were still very professional. BBC has really talented people working there it seems.
Larry's face. Clutched my stomach, fell onto the floor and burst out laughing.
LOL someone watching Family Guy on internet explorer at 1:40
Lol
I love automatic cameras
honeyman333 and I looooooove bitconneeeeeeeeect!
Sorry! I couldn't resist. 😜
the undercover camera

They were unimpressed.
i love the bbc, they are casual about the cameras XD
7:37 Hahaha!! XD and 13:15
This is what happens when you replace cameramen with a windows XP PC
525949 minutes in 2013. Call this video 14 minutes. It costs £145.50 for a year's licence fee.
(14/525949)*145.50 = £0.0039
I want my 0.39p back!
Don't forget to factor in the fact that there are other channels other than BBC News :)
Love watching these bloopers ,feel sorry for those get stuck in it
I literally started losing it at the Skype part
That woz funny ! I enjoyed that ! The guy on Skype woz hilarious !!!!!
I checked BBC News every time!
Haha, the new automatic cameras can take some cool shots but they don't seem too reliable. Seems they have a mind of their own. So funny... XD
1:28 Ok old man, that's enough rambling for one day!
It didn't shut him up!!
jobs are for humans, not robots. Think of all the people put out of work because of this. It's shameful.

I never thought we had that many bloopers in the news
Well there collected over a year with almost a 24 hour news program.
It's that time of the year!!😂🎄🎁
That camera shake at 10:15 is just hilarious!
All that lovely new kit at Broadcasting house...failing to do what it's supposed to.
12m03 is so funny with the hyperactive hamster on the screen, but the best is 07m38 when he sees the camera in peripheral vision but tries not to look at it until he just has to LOL
5:38 "get our ducks in a row" is a phrase I need to start using
5:02 my fav XD
the cameras keep nodding off
Back here since it’s almost Christmas😂
5:05 LOL.
"Sandra Bollock"
10:34 why would you bring up a pile of papers
+Timo Edsel It was a failed prank. He was supposed to drop it and scare the sound guy. Unfortunately, they came to him early and he didn't have time.
Literally thought it was a box of cereal.
The cameras are alive.
5:03 lmao
actually couldnt stop laughing
A cameraman's idea of funny bloopers!
7:30 I love how the graphics still appear on screen 😂
The Skype thing scared the crap out of me, it was creepy and hilarious xD
5:03 - Run fat producer! 😄
Rest in peace Komla
Thank you very much indeed. It was funny .
that guy on skype is so funny..if im the reporter there I wont recover
TV guy here.

The camera that moved into the screen reminded me of the Darlek
Look out for the series of "Merry Christmas VT" with numerous outtakes and bloopers. Saw a number of these in the 1980s.
It's like Victoria Wood's Acorn Antiques lol
i saw some of these as they happened live, i hope they never get rid of the automated cameras, funniest thing i have ever seen is when someone is being dead serious and the camera just trails off
Why does the BBC have so much problems with their cameras?
It's Britain...
+Kryonik No one's controling them, it's all auto. Which is problematic because they do what they want.
'Have so much problems' surely you mean have so MANY problems. Educate yourself.
The cameras are system operated but not fully.
Merry Christmas, VT.
As an American, I loved to see Alex Jones get the mockery he deserves! On the other hand, the BBC might want to rethink its automated camera/cueing thing. It looks like a disaster.
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL lib douche
Carlmaster96
You like Alex Jones? Really?
You don’t have to be a liberal - or even a democrat - to realize he’s an idiot.
Keep the cameras!😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The automatic camera transition sure make for dramatic cinematography.
12:25 the best moment
Do the camera people go to the local Bar (Pub) before work?
these are all examples of people thinking that the camera has switched when they haven't
Those automated cameras have really worked out well, haven't they.
At the end I can see BBC World News feed from Television Centre!
Once you have seen one camera mess up,you have seen them all!
9:08 is the best just because you can feel the sense of “I've fucked it! Quick change back! No wrong tape! No that was the right one! Mash all the buttons!"
Automated cameras are one of the most useless things ever, it’s just one big “well if we can make it we should”
i finally lost it at 13:16 LMFAO
8:15 nice to see the invisible woman getting into the weather reporting business

Most of these are an example of what happens when you get rid of propper camera operators.
You would think that after all those malfunctions, someone would hire more people to operate the cameras.
They don't have camera operators anymore they are automatic and not very good
John Lang but, today is OK
The cameras are the most bored of all of us.
10:27
That was a THICC Paper
Best part is at 5:00 and maybe the black man.
12:38 was funnier IMO :)
Wait what? There are automatic cameras? That's so cool
