Britain's
public
broadcaster
BBC
goofed
up
while
showing
a
report
on
the
death
of
Bollywood
actor
Shashi
Kapoor
but
later
apologised
for
its
mistake.
On
Monday
evening's
News
at
Ten,
two
video
clips
were
played
as
presenter
Huw
Edwards
announced
the
Indian
actor
had
died
aged
79.
But
neither
of
the
men
shown
were
Kapoor
-
one
was
his
nephew
Rishi
and
the
other
was
actor
Amitabh
Bachchan.
The
programme's
editor
Paul
Royall
apologised
on
Twitter
for
the
mistake
shortly
after
the
bulletin
aired.
"#BBCNewsTen
is
very
sorry
wrong
images
were
used
to
mark
the
death
of
Shashi
Kapoor.
Not
our
usual
standards
and
I
apologise
for
any
upset," he
tweeted.
