What is Egg on the Face : Broadcasting Clangers and Cock-ups about?

Broadcasting Clangers and Hiccups On the air, a few seconds loss of concentration by the broadcaster, mechanical failure or some unexpected interruption can create chaos. Here remembered are many of the moments that still haunt their victims and made those who heard them chuckle long after more serious events had been forgotten. Unintentional puns, spoonerisms, verbal slips of all kinds are recalled as well as those moments on "live" television when the events on screen go wildly out of control. As we listen to television and radio it all seems so calm and well organized, but behind the scenes the gremlins gather to make nonsense of the best laid plans.
