It may have axed his comeback show last year but the BBC has now accidentally declared that 8.23am is 'Frankie Boyle time'.
A subtitling error during a BBC Breakfast News interview with Bulgaria's European People's Party MEP Eva Paunova resulted in the corporation accidental declaration.
Subtitles at the start of the interview, which aired at 8.23am, read: "Good morning. Frankie Boyle time. Give us your thoughts on..."

The Scots comic's comeback show was axed by the BBC in January 2015 due to a joke about the IRA murder of Lord Mountbatten.
Fans of the Scots comic took to Twitter to express their confusion at the statement.
