Meltdown.
Well, it was lovely to be back on my show this morning. I've been off everywhere over the last few weeks covering everything! Nice to be home.
At 4.20 this morning, my studio melted down. And by this I mean EVERYTHING broke. There wasn't one button that worked and my microphone was stuck on permanently and couldn't be shut off. Awful. There was nothing I could do, so I just sat there and chatted and laughed. Ever the professional. Eventually, I moved studios and got back on air but the engineers were called out and had to rip out most of the equipment because of a major malfunction somewhere very important. We're not talking a little glitch here, we're talking properly broken.
What made me laugh was the BBC engineer's report that he filed this morning stating that there had been a major malfunction whilst on air and it did affect the show however (and I quote from the report) "it did make for very entertaining radio".
What more can I ask for?! I think maybe people listen to my show now to find out what I break next. It's kind of my unique selling point.
