Airways turn blue: Jazz FM broadcasts porn; weatherman uses C-word by accident

The airways have been turning blue with ‘sex noises’ aired on radio and a weather man for the BBC accidentally letting slip one of the rudest words in the English language.

First, Jazz FM had to apologise when the soundtrack to an adult film, including moans and groans, was aired during the Funky Sensation programme.

Then, BBC weatherman Alex Deakin, broadcasting live, said “bucketloads of c---” instead of sunshine. Some viewers thought he tried to say the word "country", realised his mistake and stopped halfway through. A YouTube clip of the gaffe has been posted.

'UFOs over London' - YouTube video. Judge for yourself

A video said to be of UFOs over London has been posted on YouTube and is attracting a lot of attention.

The footage was taken near the BBC in Great Portland Street. It shows specks of white light flying over the capital in daylight and a larger disc-shaped object.

But, and it is a big BUT, the same user has another video of a visual effects company called The Mill. Sounds like publicity to me.

Pink Floyd rockstar Roger Waters a murderer in his dreams - Careful with that axe, Eugene!

Picture: EDDIE BERMAN


PINK FLOYD rockstar Roger Waters has told the BBC's Kirsty Young on 'Desert Island Discs' that he was haunted by a dream in which he murdered someone.

Wow, that might explain some of the brilliant, haunting music that he has produced over many years - especially that amazing scream in "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" on the "Ummagumma" album.

Paralysed US man can stand and move legs again - electrodes implanted in spine

An American man who was paralysed in a hit-and-run accident can stand up, move his toes, hips, knees and ankles and also walk on a treadmill while being supported after doctors implanted 16 electrodes in his spine.

Rob Summers, from Oregon, a baseball player who was part of the team that won the World College Series in 2006, was hit by a car five years ago and his spinal cord was damaged.

Doctors are careful to point out that this it is not a cure, but the procedure must give hope to people with similar injuries. Tests will be carried out soon on four more patients.
