Quote:James Naughtie blames Dr Spooner after renaming Jeremy Hunt
• Presenter struggles to deliver news after mangled introduction
• James Naughtie and Andrew Marr to make personal apologies
The Today presenter James Naughtie was both congratulated and condemned after he accidentally introduced the culture secretary, Jeremy Hunt, as Jeremy Cunt live on air today.
The Radio 4 gaffe sparked a flurry of online comments, which were refuelled just over an hour later when Andrew Marr – presumably in an effort to maintain editorial consistency – made exactly the same mistake on the same station's Start the Week programme.
Naughtie's mistake came just before the 8am news as he trailed an 8.10am interview with Hunt. "First up after the news, we're going to be talking to Jeremy Cunt," the Scotsman said before swiftly correcting himself.
As the pips signalling the headlines were broadcast, Naughtie struggled to deliver the main news from around the world over what sounded like a coughing fit.
