BBC Breakfast declared 8.23am was 'Frankie Boyle time' and Twitter is confused

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.
