BBC viewers are left baffled after an announcer INTERRUPTS David Tennant’s There She Goes by doing a voiceover in technical gaffe
David Tennant’s show There She Goes was marred by a technical gaffe when the first episode of season two aired on BBC Two on Thursday, leaving viewers baffled.
The comedy, which follows a family as they take care of their learning disabled girl Rosie, was interrupted when an announcer began talking in the middle of a scene.
Practising a voiceover for the BSL (British Sign Language) Sign Zone, the announcer could be heard saying: ‘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 going during lockdown.’

The announcer did the voiceover twice, before clearing his throat and saying he would have ‘one more go’ at the announcement.
His interruption took place just a few minutes into the opening episode of season two, where Rosie says ‘Mama’ to her mother for the first time in a scene that was set to lift the characters’ spirits as it meant her communication could start to improve.
Surprised by the unexpected interruption, viewers took to Twitter to inform BBC Two of what had happened and they also joked about the announcer accidentally interrupting the show.
