Sunday Brunch Viewers Left Stunned By Seriously NSFW Subtitle Fail

We definitely weren't expecting an X-rated version of the Sunday Brunch theme tune as we tucked into our cornflakes.

Sunday Brunch found itself at the centre of a rather unfortunate subtitling fail over the weekend.

As regular viewers of the Channel 4 daytime show will know, Sunday Brunch opens with a catchy theme tune, the lyrics of which are: “The sun comes up. I fill my cup. I’m waking up to Sunday Brunch.”

So far, so family-friendly, right?

Well, unfortunately, that wasn’t quite the case for viewers tuning in with subtitles.

Instead they got the decidedly less suitable-for-daytime: “The sun comes up, I feel my cock, I’m waking up to Sunday Brunch.”

And the error most certainly didn’t go unnoticed, either:

@SundayBrunchC4 The subtitles to the theme tune mix first thing!
On a Sunday morning! Even I was shocked!
Someone havin a laugh?
Fill —> feel and cup —> c..k

But Sunday Brunch isn’t the only daytime show that has ended up broadcasting some NSFW language lately.

When a light reflector ended up falling on the 19-year-old and his mum in the middle of an interview, he was heard questioning: “What the fuck was that?”

At the end of the discussion, Richard told viewers: “We just have to very quickly say there was a little bit of inadvertent swearing earlier – it was completely inadvertent. If you were offended by it, obviously, we apologise. I think we can live with it.”

Susanna then questioned: “Was that you, Richard?”

“No it wasn’t me,” he said with a laugh. “Although I have done that. I have been known to do that.”

Sunday Brunch airs every Sunday at 9.30am on Channel 4.
