Culture plus Hunt. Don’t say it too fast
A classic moment in radio broadcasting occurred in the UK earlier today when the BBC’s flagship radio show Today managed to get the name of the country’s culture secretary Jeremy Hunt wrong.
Very wrong indeed.
The presenter in question was the appropriately named Jim Naughtie.
Despite his protestations, it didn’t sound like a coughing fit to Dr Mumbo. He later apologised:
Spectacularly, in the following program his colleague Andrew Marr then attempted to ease the situation with the words: “We can’t repeat what Mr Naughtie said, but he called Jeremy Cunt a pretty strong name. I mean Hunt. I must apologise… ”
Such cunning linguists.
