Here is the forecast: An outbreak of offensive gestures, followed by severe embarrassment, with the possibility thunderous words from the boss.
BBC News Channel viewers saw weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker brazenly sticking his middle-finger up at breakfast show presenters Simon McCoy and Fiona Armstrong, who were off-camera.
近日,英国著名天气预报员托马斯-谢弗内克(Tomasz Schafernaker)向同事开玩笑竖中指的镜头就被直播了出去,引起轩然大波,而等待他的还可能会有上司连珠炮般的斥责。
Prior to the gaffe, caught live on BBC News24, anchor Simon McCoy seemed to gently poke fun at Schafernaker by saying: 'Now we will have the weather forecast in a minute and or course it will be 100 per cent accurate and provide all the detail you can possibly want.
'I've just seen Tom Schafernaker preparing for it.'
At this point, the camera pans to the Polish-born weatherman, who reacted to the sarcastic tone by sticking his middle finger up before suddenly realising he is on camera.
He then proceeds to try and disguise the blunder by scratching his chin.
A gasp can be heard before McCoy quips: 'There's always one mistake. That was it.'
