BBC apologises after Radio 2 scheduling error

The BBC has apologised after a scheduling error meant that listeners to Elaine Paige’s show heard a repeat of the previous week’s programme.

The singer and actress, who is known for appearing in musical theatre, hosts a show every Sunday afternoon called Elaine Paige On Sunday.

An error meant listeners heard the wrong second hour of her show on Sunday.

A BBC spokeswoman said: “Unfortunately, due to a scheduling error, the incorrect second hour of the show was broadcast yesterday.

“We apologise to listeners and are currently looking into how this occurred.

“The correct programme is now available on BBC Sounds.”
