A BBC Points West presenter’s fake typing was hilariously exposed by a sneaky camera angle
Over on BBC Points West, which covers the Bristol and the surrounding areas, presenter Pam Caulfield gave away a newsreader secret – namely, what are they typing after they say goodbye.

That’s right – they’re typing nothing, and we’d never have known if it weren’t for that wide swing from the camera.
TV reviewer Scott Bryan spotted the gaffe and shared it to a wider audience.
