Green-Screen Mix-Up Forces Low-Tech Fix in Liz Kendall's GMB Interview

Producers swapped the digital backdrop for a printed photo of Parliament after her outfit matched the green screen.

Overview

  • The Technology Secretary appeared live via video link with presenters Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley on Good Morning Britain.
  • Reid apologised to viewers as the team abandoned the chroma-key setup for a physical background.
  • A printed image of the Houses of Parliament was used, prompting on-air jokes about visible wrinkles in the fabric.
  • Kendall said she had been warned studios use green or blue screens and vowed not to wear green again.
  • Coverage framed the incident as a light-hearted production hiccup shortly after her move to the science and technology brief in this month's reshuffle.
