Yeah 100%, four gun salute! BBC would be far better having quick-minded presenters with personality. Some of the bloopers with the aforementioned traits are great and a good advert for TV pros.
I know this is a Reddit staple response but I just thought about it and I reckon there's some wisdom there. Someone going out of their way to make other people's lives just a little bit better is pretty blessed no matter your spiritual affiliation
BBC broadcast journalists will usually write their own scripts! Producers can change bits here and there and they have to be signed off multiple times legally, but it’s usually the presenters themselves that will write what appears on the autocue :)
It’s a midday filler story about dormice. I don’t have a problem with her having a bit of fun with it.
It seems like someone said something in her ear about ‘habit’ but as she said, that’s what was on the autocue. Hence ‘I’m Ron Burgundy’
They get their name from "Dormor" which means "To Sleep" because they're a hibernating mouse. They're the one you see in photos of mice sleeping in flowers and such.
This wouldn't have happened up until very recently. The BBC always had very strict formal guidelines and dress code. This changed not too long ago, and they encouraged newsreaders to dress more casual and let more of their personality through to try and have more appeal.
Kinda depressing that the British public consider any update on the state of our incredibly depleted biodiversity a filler story. The state of nature should be considered primary news material
Filler story? Damn. The most interesting news to me is the stuff about our wildlife.
I’d rather hear it over the constant political crap or crimes you usually hear :/
She was like this before then - [here's her trying to show us what a supermoon is like](https://www.tiktok.com/@bbcnews/video/7273463427874508065?lang=en).
I don't think she should be talking about Hazel like that on the telly. Hazel Dormice is a lovely woman and she has worked tirelessly in her 78 years of living! How dare anyone slander her because she's tired, I mean I'm 27 and she's only just now started getting really sleepy? How is that a decline!? That's maintenance.
Can't believe this sub are all cheering this on. I'm writing to watchdog...wait when the fuck did that go of air?!?!
I thought the delivery of "am I talking about myself here" bit was a bit hackneyed but she pulled it back nicely with the ad-libbed Anchorman reference.
7/10.
She’s not wrong; if she didn’t address it, she would get a lot of angry emails for not knowing how to read and blindly reading autocues
Good save on her part
I have a Facebook friend who ends every single sentence with a question mark? In my head I read all her posts in Ron Burgundy's confused questioning style? It's so annoying?
Hahahaha fantastic. When someone takes the piss out of themselves then they can't be a target, so well done her. It's like tripping over, if you stand up and say "oh man what a silly ****" then nobody else will have any ammo to make you feel daft about it.
Top level, love how she plays the Ron Burgundy bit at the end.
She's a legend. By far the best newsreader out there.
I don't know how to put this, but... she's kind of a big deal.
She has many leatherbound books
And her apartment smells of rich mahogany
Baxter
Bark twice if you’re in Milwaukee
Sorry I don't speak Spanish
Somebody punted him?!
And has a formidable scent, really hits the nostrils!
And from what I hear, smells like panther
That smells like Bigfoot's dick!
They've done studies y'know, 60% of the time, it works every time!
People know her.
I'd do it
Surprised she hasn't been on HIGNFY yet - she's the perfect mix of funny but serious and deals with current affairs.
True I get some Ian Hislop vibes from her. In a good way ofc
_pen tapping intensifies_
I would absolutely love to see that.
Stay classy, San Diego!
100%
She forgot the question mark!
She forgot the question mark?
Oh there it is.
I recon her apartment smells of rich mahogany
That's deep research, does this recon involve sneaking in through the air vents?
I’m more of a cat flap kinda guy. Just think of me as a modern day Marv.
If she had done that, that would've been all time.
Yeah that's mad quick thinking, especially after making an embarrassing mistake 🫡
Yeah 100%, four gun salute! BBC would be far better having quick-minded presenters with personality. Some of the bloopers with the aforementioned traits are great and a good advert for TV pros.
That Ron Burgundy bit had me crying 🤣😂
I don't understand?
[I'm Ron Burgundy?](https://youtu.be/X3zfP14pLxc?si=22JIwQWTTI6_ATkc)
I hope she never gets trapped in a glass cage of emotion. But honestly she seems awesome.
My big moment and I’m a day late.
What is this, audio for ants?
Waiting for the scream jumpscare.
"Wazzuuuuup!"
[in the year 2000...](https://youtu.be/GMgsFZ4rkEI?si=yBrxf5Fcdd2LXAuY)
Not much has changed but they live underwater
That’s quite a big change if you ask me
Got 3 tits as well
3 tits? Awesome
Unexpected paul
Especially when you realise that your great, great, great granddaughter has lived to be several hundred years old and is still “pretty fine”.
That's my response to that lyric too. I mean it is pretty huge really
As soon as I saw your comment I pictured that road and that car
Lol. I remember the first time I saw it too.. Damn it's been a minute.
the jumpscare would be sudden bbc drums.
[With better audio, and bonus content. HABITAT.](https://x.com/NathanEChard/status/1800476745826775518)
...TIL it's Dormice not Door Mice...
Same root as the word “dorment” they are named after how sleepy they are!
Wow can actually hear it this time
So much better. Thank you
Thanks dud
I'm guessing they didn't have any audio on their telly and just opened the window to capture the sound straight from the BBC.
Or from their neighbour's TV
Had editor open, so fixed it for you ;) https://streamable.com/oz88yl
Thank you, kind Internet stranger
Doing the Lord's work.
I know this is a Reddit staple response but I just thought about it and I reckon there's some wisdom there. Someone going out of their way to make other people's lives just a little bit better is pretty blessed no matter your spiritual affiliation
How high are you
The angels look like ants. Squish, squish-squish.
Come on now, I'm at work. So moderately.
Is that what was on the auto cue?
I'm good, how are you?
Turned my van volume up to 99 then the radio came on after ...
Maybe should be focusing more on the driving then.
It took me far too long to realise that no, my headphones aren't broken, the audio just sucks 😂
I thought the joke was that her name was Hazel Dormice.
I for one welcome our new Ant overlords...
I can't hear what she's even saying
crank that shit up cmon this is what max volume is designed for
Yeah that's how you get your eardrums blown the second anything of normal volume occurs.
I'm outside, there's alot of background noise
Just ask everyone if they can keep it down 'cos you have a super important video to watch and you can't hear the audio.
so was the guy who recorded it
It needs to be at least… three times as loud!
But loudness is logarithmic! This is taxing my Zoolander brain
I literally said that in my head, lol
Literally have my minirig4 at max volume and I struggled
Love that! Just put it on the autocue, she will read it! Love the Ron Burgundy reference.
Whoever wrote that was having some great fun that day
BBC broadcast journalists will usually write their own scripts! Producers can change bits here and there and they have to be signed off multiple times legally, but it’s usually the presenters themselves that will write what appears on the autocue :)
Well that makes me have even more respect for her 😂

"Go fuck yourself San Diego"
"Go Fuck yourself Salford"
As someone born and raised in Salford, couldn't agree more.
My god could you imagine the amount of gammons that would complain if she did say fuck somewhere, but it would be brilliant
Lol!
It was actually the very stern 9-10am slot They call it *the serious hour*
Thank god that guy is okay with it. What would we have done without his approval of fun.
Soon as I saw the video my first thought was oh fuck - I wonder what Eoin_Mclove is going to say about this.
Um excuse me a story about dormice is not filler. I’ve been waiting years for updates
Sorry, but the news isn't good.
I'm honestly just a little mindblown that it's not "door mice"
They get their name from "Dormor" which means "To Sleep" because they're a hibernating mouse. They're the one you see in photos of mice sleeping in flowers and such.
It was funny the first time but she cant make a habitat out of it!
I never thought about newsreaders liking Anchorman before, but why wouldn't they? :)
Hey man it’s not filler 🥺 I care that dormice numbers are going down
"I do da cha cha...like a sissy girl"
That's Bruce almighty.
Which employs the same dynamic relevant to this context.
You tell him!
This wouldn't have happened up until very recently. The BBC always had very strict formal guidelines and dress code. This changed not too long ago, and they encouraged newsreaders to dress more casual and let more of their personality through to try and have more appeal.
I did feel the slight urge to put a comment pointing out her mistake, but I'm not in the habitat of correcting people's speech.
Kinda depressing that the British public consider any update on the state of our incredibly depleted biodiversity a filler story. The state of nature should be considered primary news material
Filler story? Damn. The most interesting news to me is the stuff about our wildlife. I’d rather hear it over the constant political crap or crimes you usually hear :/
I love this. Always got time for an Anchorman quote.
Well at least it wasn’t “Go fuck yourself San Diego”
Tbf that could just be played over her first gaffe
Milk was a bad choice
In a few years time we'll be calling her a national treasure.
Since she made that first slip up she seems to just be rolling with it that people actually like her acting like this
Huw Edwards must be sat at home punching his cat.
When he said he doesn’t like pussy, he didn’t mean that
Maybe he’s up to something else? I hear he’s got surprisingly diverse interests!
He isn't interested in fisting pussies.
She was like this before then - [here's her trying to show us what a supermoon is like](https://www.tiktok.com/@bbcnews/video/7273463427874508065?lang=en).
I definitely do
Shameful! This upbeat story about dormice ought to have been handled with befitting gravitas.
The dormice in the report did look genuinely terrified tbf
[удалено]
Hazel Dormice. Or, you can be Ronnie Hotdogs.
Or you can just be Honky Tonk
Unexpected mince
Wanted to type a Mince quote myself, only it was too difficult because of my brass hand
She always passes the vibe check
I don't think she should be talking about Hazel like that on the telly. Hazel Dormice is a lovely woman and she has worked tirelessly in her 78 years of living!

Frank Watchdog retired years ago
Oh my fucking god. And he was on BBC. The conspiracy doesn't stop. I'm writing to my local PM, this can't go on any longer.
Write to John Newsround. I think his middle name is Cravens.
Dear Points of View...
When the edibles hits her while she’s live on BBC.
Think the edibles hit the autocue writer first. Someone must've bought some brownies in.
Cannamilk was a bad choice
The audio on this is terrible
Because they recorded their TV.
The audio on the tv is terrible
The recording of the audio of the tv is terrible
The recording of the audio of the tv through my computer is terrible
they recorded their TV with their toaster.
Quality audio here, if you like. https://x.com/NathanEChard/status/1800476745826775518
Wow the users in this sub have really lost the joy in life haven't they? Poor form in the comments.
this sub has truly gone down the pan
What a legend 🤣
Ha. Zero fucks given. I’m in love.
Sorry about the low sound, I was at work. ...I know I'd be commenting the same thing if it wasn't my own post.
https://x.com/scottygb/status/1800487450055508463?t=w7ue8QCopbOVysNSMekgzQ&s=19 In better audio
I thought the delivery of "am I talking about myself here" bit was a bit hackneyed but she pulled it back nicely with the ad-libbed Anchorman reference. 7/10.
before you filmed this on your phone, did you take the time to turn the volume down to barely audible?
She's good, it almost makes me want to watch the news
It's middle finger lady
She’s not wrong; if she didn’t address it, she would get a lot of angry emails for not knowing how to read and blindly reading autocues Good save on her part
Wish she'd ended it with 'I'm Ron Burgundy???'
Go fuck yourself, San Diego!
Eh…. Edit: ahh. You were meaning specifically with the question. I see.
It's from Anchorman - the autocue had a question mark at the end so it went up like a question
I have a Facebook friend who ends every single sentence with a question mark? In my head I read all her posts in Ron Burgundy's confused questioning style? It's so annoying?
I work with grown up professionals who do it - so annoying?
Someone says “anything you put on that thing (meaning the autocue) Burgundy WILL read” And they have some fun with it
If you've never seen the will Ferrell classics Anchorman, it's one of those few movies that I'll say is a must see for most people.
Honestly, she has great vibes
Tried getting this on BBC News using iplayer. Found it, however it's the one where she doesn't do this. This was around 10:54?
What's her name?
Maryam Moshiri
Ron Burgundy
Good job OP had their Nokia N90 handy to capture this
We need her to give a middle finger to the autocue writer
Go fuck yourselves Dormice.
Wtf did she say?
I’m Ron Burgandy! 😂
Turn your TV up mate, can't hear shit
Absolutely brilliant
She's brilliant
I love her so much
What did she do?
Absolute class!
I love how she does not give any fucks!!
top tier comedic timing lol. I'd be curious if the managers have told her to up the jokes during the news
she's getting bolder after they didn't fire her for her birdie
She's starting to become my hero.
Love this presenter, she is the best.
Give this woman a pay rise
Too loud please post a quieter version.
She's wonderful.
Hahahaha fantastic. When someone takes the piss out of themselves then they can't be a target, so well done her. It's like tripping over, if you stand up and say "oh man what a silly ****" then nobody else will have any ammo to make you feel daft about it.
Sounds like its been recorded with a talkboy. Cant hear shit.
New favourite news reader
Fucking hate the "news". But she is very much a legend.
She’s making a habit of this
Hazel Dormice sounds like a character in Toast of London.
“I’m Ron Burgandy”. Just brilliant.
Yup, throw the auto queue man under the bus.
Iconic
I’m Ron Burgundy just thrown away at the end of
It was funny the first time but she cant make a habitat out of it!
She's a legend
