Viral Video Chart: BBC News bloopers, Sherlock trailer, Piers Morgan
Television can be a tricky business – especially when you are working in new studios, as the presenters and correspondents of BBC News have been discovering. We've got a bumper blooper roundup from New Broadcasting House that contains plenty of technical hitches – often caused by hi-tech computerised cameras – that put Fiona Bruce, Sophie Raworth, Huw Edwards and Kate Silverton off their stride.
Someone who wasn't just put off their stride - in fact he fell over several times - was Piers Morgan when he faced a few balls from former Australian bowler Brett Lee. Rarely lost for words, the CNN presenter and former Daily Mirror editor revealed he suffered a broken rib in the nets stunt, which was condemned as dangerous and unnecessary by former New Zealand international Richard Hadlee.
There are plenty of dangerous stunts in the world of Sherlock and we've got a taster of what Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman get up to in episode two of the third series. To calm things down a little, have a listen to Chicago's magic piano or have a giggle as we find out why the Germans love English markets. Our dollop of cuteness this week comes from a beatboxing one-year-old.
Finally, if it's all been fireworks over your festive break, take a moment to relive the London New Year firework display – the BBC's coverage of the event provided the highest television ratings for 2013. Enjoy! Guardian Viral Video Chart. Compiled by Unruly Media and twisted around by Janette
