VIEWERS were left baffled last night as David Tennant drama There She Goes was interrupted by a voiceover in a technical gaffe.
A BBC Two continuity announcer could be heard talking over a key moment in the show as he practised a voiceover for BSL (British Sign Language) Sign Zone.
Just minutes into the episode, Rosie (Miley Locke) says the word ‘Mama’ – but the continuity announcer interrupts her.
He says: “Now, in the Sign Zone on BBC Two, and in a change to the billed edition, an update on the product that’s kept Britain glo… going during lockdown.”
Realising his error, he can be heard saying “one more to go” before attempting the announcement again.
Viewers were quick to point out the error on Twitter.
One wrote: “What is happening with the ‘bbc sign zone’ voice over on BBC2???!”
Another said: “What was that @BBCTwo announcer doing in the middle of #ThereSheGoes…? Did anyone else hear that or was it just me?”
A third commented: “Nice continuity announcement there”.
The poignant BBC drama follows a family with nine-year-old daughter Rosie, who has severe learning disabilities.
Tennant plays her dad Simon and he opened up about how hard it was for him to read the script originally.
“My experience of reading that first script was just how painfully honest it was, you almost felt like you had to look away from the script sometimes,” Tennant told media recently.
“[The show is] obviously about parenting a very unique child, but it’s also just about parenting, and about how hit and miss that is, and how any one of us as a parent never feels that we’re ever getting it right.
“And that it’s actually quite rare to see the honesty of that written down.”
