The channel’s announcer said “we are having quite a night of it”. The glitch happened during a Panorama documentary on the US election and delayed the start of EastEnders by about 10 minutes.
In a statement, the BBC apologised and said the schedule was running five minutes late.
It said: “Unfortunately major technical issues delayed the start of Panorama this evening. The BBC One schedule is now running five minutes late – we apologise to viewers for the disruption.”
Viewers shared pictures of the error message on Twitter.
Good Morning Britain host and former BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid joked: “2020 has claimed BBC One.”
