From Twitter, though he has since deleted his tweets

"Robert Coxwell, a photographer and journalist, wrote on X that he was the gallery producer for the show and said it was “regrettable” that someone had “found the need to amplify it”, adding that only two people on X had noticed but it “went largely ignored for 10 hours. Until someone went on to a BBC system, clipped it up and sent it out.”

Coxwell said it had been taken from an internal archive system called Autorot, adding: “Luckily Autorot provides a log of who did what because it triggers an email to say the clip they wanted is ready to be downloaded.”

He then tweeted: “I am so deep into the workings of Autorot I can’t tell you. Christmas could be coming early for someone!”"

Does that last sentence imply he is trying to sack the person who 'leaked' it when it went out on air? This seems very weird. The person getting punished should be the one messing around infront of tv cameras.

It was clipped by really big Twitter users right after it happened, this whole 'only 2 people saw it' is just bonkers.

Indeed, does Coxwell forget that the output itself is a global news channel - and not some live stream on Twitter!

More evidence of unprofessionalism, if you ask me, that the way the BBC now appear to measure audience reaction is via Twitter outrage (or lack therefore).

It would be typical crazy HR-driven madness to sack somebody for posting the clip (which wasn’t actually “leaked” via a BBC internal system as it went out on the air) but allow the actual transgressor who had created the “moment” to go unpunished. If that happens, I would be disappointed in the BBC.
