BBC Radio 4 listeners were left baffled as 'Broadcasting House', the Sunday news programme, was interrupted by yodelling.
Shortly after the programme began, Lord Digby Jones, the former head of the CBI, was about to review a Sunday Telegraph article on the World Trade Organisation’s new director general, Roberto Azevedo.

Suddenly the show was interrupted by sounds from more than half a century before as yodelling broke out on the airwaves. For around 10 seconds there was nothing but the sound of the gospel song Jesus Put a Yodel in my Soul made famous by the US country singer Wanda Jackson.
Then presenter Paddy O’Connell came back on the air after the brief interlude to apologise for the “glitch”. The corporation explained the mishap occurred when the battery in the radio car Lord Jones was speaking from in Warwickshire began to run out and the engine had to be restarted.
