BBC NEWS viewers were left startled by yet another huge blunder on the channel.
Ahead of the snap General Election, the local Northern Ireland channel aired their huge politics interview programme, The View.

Longtime BBC presenter Mark Carruthers, 58, fronted the programme as he conducts a series of interviews with the leaders of some of the respective parties.
Ulster Unionist Party leader Doug Beattie and Traditional Unionist Voice politician Jim Allister were grilled by the host ahead of the July 4 polling day.
Suzanne Breen from the Belfast Telegraph and David McCann from Slugger O’Toole were also on hand to offer commentary from a different part of the studio.
The host conducted his first hard-hitting interviews with the leaders by a huge desk.
However, the format then required him to move to a different ‘bar’ area of the studio to get analysis from his pundits.
The first time the host wandered over to the commentators, there were no problems as the show seemed to go smoothly.
However after his second chat with Jim Allister, Mark again wanted to gauge reaction from the other on-set guests.
When the studio camera pointed towards to the round table, it seems the control room was not technically ready for the change of scenery.
Instead of the slick matching graphics in the background, a huge green screen appeared in its place.
Unfortunately it was not quite a blink it and you’ll miss it moment, as the correct studio graphics did not show up straight away.
Viewers were extremely startled by the blunder as the green screen was accidently exposed on air for a number of seconds before the error was fixed.
When Suzanne Breen then spoke and the camera cut back to her for her closeup, a distinct green light was prominent in the background, indicating further keying technical errors.
Meanwhile, the anchor seemed to be completely unfazed by the huge programme blunder as he simply just carried on.
He didn’t seem to either notice or care as he calmly guided the show to the separate segment and he didn’t address the incident in any way.
TV critic Scott Bryan noticed the error as he wrote on Twitter: “I am walking into the green void no wait no I’m not.”
BBC News’ Biggest Blunders
The Beeb has suffered a number of gaffes recently, here we take a look at the biggest, and funniest, mishaps to date:
Maryam Moshiri flashing her middle finger during a live bulletin
Tongued-tied sports presenter Chetan Pathak dropped an X-rated word during a report
BBC Look North’s Peter Levy asked viewers “how big their holes are” during an innuendo-filled segment
Newsreader Roger Johnson was left scrambling after saying “cuckoo c*ck” instead of clock
BBC Breakfast’s Nina Warhurst mixing up the names of her co-hosts live on air
The news correspondent is mistaken for shop staff and interrupted during the report
Lukwesa Burak was left speechless after being caught stretching during a break
Newsreader forced to run across the studio during epic camera mishap
And other viewers slammed the corporation on X – formerly known as Twitter – for the unrealistic graphics.
One viewer said: “At last make the background look like it might actually be a real place. That looks like Coruscant during the days of the old Republic.”
A second commented: “That might be the worst news room green screen I’ve seen. I think ppl would rather just a bland studio.”
“‘What did you make of that?’ The green screen?! She held it together well!”, joked a third user.
As a fourth added: “Looks like the corridors from the galactic senate.”
