Oldest known recording makes BBC announcer giggle uncontrollably
Anything and everything anytime
Hundreds of listeners have contacted BBC Radio 4 after newsreader Charlotte Green dissolved into giggles while reading a bulletin on Today.
She lost control after playing a clip of the oldest known recording of the human voice.
Green’s hysterical outburst started after a studio member remarked that the 1860 recording of a woman singing the French song Au Clair de la Lune sounded like a “bee buzzing in a bottle”.
I bet this record really got the family clapping and stomping their feet as they sat around the new phonograph.
