The BBC has been forced to apologize after an image of Viola Davis from January’s Golden Globes was shown on its news channel with a headline identifying the Oscar winner as history-maker Beyoncé.
BBC News’ rolling coverage of the Grammys included a few seconds period when the image of Davis was matched with the caption “Beyoncé’s Big Night,” before the segment moved on to the next image.
BBC News has in the past hour apologized via a Twitter statement and said the error “fell below the BBC’s usual standards.”
“We apologise for the mistake last night when our news channels briefly showed a photograph of Viola Davis from January’s Golden Globes alongside a headline about Beyoncé at yesterday’s Grammys,” said the statement.

Leicester-based filmmaker Steve Lawson seems to have struck up quite the partnership with UK distributor High Fliers Films, having had the last half a dozen or so films he’s made released on DVD here in Blighty – distribution that has seen his films hit supermarket shelves across the country. That’s probably because Lawson has recently focused on making genre films based on familiar tropes – Dracula, Jack the Ripper, Jekyll and Hyde; hell Lawson has even tackled the likes of the Musketeers and Dick Turpin!
With The Mummy: Resurrection Lawson tells his version of the all-too-common undead horror icon, turned cliche. And by his version, I mean a film made on the cheap and on as little a number of...

Ripper Untold is writer/director Steve Lawson’s fourth consecutive film with a historical setting after Bram Stoker’s Van Helsing, Saltwater: The Battle for Ramree Island and The Haunting of Alcatraz. And like them, it was filmed on a very limited budget. Can Lawson manage to make it work this time and not end up with another boring talkfest?
Whitechapel 1888. The body of a young woman is found, her throat slashed and body mutilated. Inspector Rees (Phil Molloy; Outlawed) goes to work trying to track down the killer. He’s aided by the coroner, Thomas Locque, a man who’s battling his own demons. And who seems to have known the victim, and several of her fellow working girls.
As the bodies begin to pile up so do the suspects. Apart from Locque,...
