The BBC\u2019s Today programme on Radio 4 temporarily dropped off air on Monday morning after an alarm interrupted the broadcast.<\/p>\n
The news bulletin was interrupted by an alarm just after 7:30am, which could be heard announcing: \u201cPlease leave the building immediately by the nearest exit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may be able to hear we have a little alarm going on here,\u201d broadcaster Nick Robinson told listeners as the sound continued in the background.<\/p>\n
His fellow presenter, Martha Kearney, said that they would try to \u201ccarry on for a little bit\u201d before a loud alarm started whirring. \u201cWell, maybe it\u2019s going to be quite hard to carry on with this alarm going on in the background,\u201d she said, adding that she once had to leave the building during a show due to a fire.<\/p>
Robinson introduced a pre-recorded report as the alarm continued whirring in the background and then the broadcast dropped off air until 7:55am.<\/p>\n
Robinson tweeted a picture of himself and Martha Kearney to confirm staff were back inside the studio, alongside the caption: \u201cWell that was interesting. Emergency over. If there was one\u2026 we\u2019re now back in the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n
