Attack of the news gremlins
The gremlins had the run of Australia’s news bulletins last night.
Over at Seven News, Chris Bath gradually faded to black before being abruptly interrupted with a trailer for Today Tonight. The show then switched to sports reader Jim Wilson who owned up to technical difficulties and filled until the news bulletin was back on track.
The pair handed the situation, Dr Mumbo is happy to report, with somewhat more equanimity than Helen Kapalos’ spill night disaster.
Meanwhile, things were not going entirely well over at the ABC. It would seem that the on screen super writer knocked off for the night half way through the bulletin…

You have to admit this was an entirely different situation and Chris & Jim had each other to bounce off to fill the air space plus a promo was played to fill the airspace while they were things back on track.
Yes they handled it well, but just another reason to have a shot at Helen Kapalos isn’t it. Grow up Mumbo.
