Cliff Richard Cover Sparks Hilarious BBC Blunder

Brothers Justin and Dan Hawkins of the rock band The Darkness recently appeared on BBC Breakfast to promote their new rendition of Sir Cliff Richard's Christmas song "Mistletoe and Wine." The interview, however, quickly became a focal point for viewer criticism, with many describing the segment as "excruciating" and a "car crash" due to apparent distractions and unconventional conversation.

During the discussion, Justin Hawkins made several notable remarks, including a comment about the studio technology and a humorous observation about Sir Cliff Richard's enduring appearance. He even attempted to send a live message to Sir Cliff. The interview took a more pointed turn when Justin quipped about Oasis potentially performing at Knebworth, stating he was eager "to not go."

The segment concluded with the revelation that Justin Hawkins was wearing hotel slippers. When questioned by the hosts, he explained that comfort was prioritized over traditional footwear. This interview followed a previous instance where The Darkness' performance during the VE Day celebrations also drew mixed reactions, with some fans confused by the band's inclusion.
