Wogan and Jupitus off-air

Alarm bells were ringing this morning during Breakfast at the BBC's Western House complex. The fire alarm meant both Terry Wogan on BBC Radio 2, and Phil Jupitus on BBC 6 Music switched to back-up discs as both they both had to evacuate the building.

The programmes were only off-air for 10 minutes, but had worried listeners thinking the worst had happened to Sir Terry.

The alarm was activated by steam coming from a staff gym within the building.
