Yeah - I mean ultimately it was a delayed broadcast. They cut other stuff, just cut or bleep it out. I've a lot of sympathy for the actual people at BAFTA running the live show in the room which would be very difficult, but the BBC broadcast piece just seems like a fuck up.

Although I'm not totally sure that the guy with Tourette's feelings were prioritised given that he left halfway through (so I think he missed the film inspired by him picking up best actor), or really at play.

Edit: And I suspect his feelings were mortification and embarrassment which, I suspect, is partly why he left. That's part of what makes it I think upsetting for everyone.
Let's bomb Russia!

From their own reporting it doesn't sound like they asked him to leave. Per Hannah Beachler, it wasn't the only time it happened and sounds like he was still around in some capacity after the show given when she reported it was directed at her.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.
