BBC News viewers left baffled as bizarre technical glitch creates 'scary sound'

BBC News viewers were today left baffled over a technical glitch that some claimed sounded “like gremlins.”

The channel had a sound issue and was forced to switch to recorded content before it was shortly restored.

A message from the channel apologised for the “interruption.”

Many viewers took to Twitter to wish the IT team “good luck” and share their interpretation on what went wrong.

One user said it “sounded like something from a spooky 70s sci-fi.”

While Ray Palmer joked: “BBC News terminated as TARDIS is heard landing in Katowice.”

One user said: “BBC News channel went off air for about five minutes and are now replaying recorded footage which itself is now disintegrating.”

It isn't the first time this week, the channel has suffered from a technical glitch.

On Wednesday, viewers were left baffled after a child appeared to teleport into the middle of a television interview.

In the footage, a broadcaster is interviewing a woman about Theresa May's leadership when a young child appears out of thin air in the background.

While in October, news anchor Fiona Bruce was rushed to the BBC’s Millbank studios in a police car for the 6pm bulletin following a technical issue at the network’s main building in central London.

A spokesperson for the BBC told the Standard: "A technical issue led to a loss of sound in our studio this morning and we briefly ran some recorded content. Live output was restored a few minutes later."
