BBC Breakfast viewers were left fuming and branded the show ‘abrupt’ as they were desperate to hear more about the ‘important’ interview with SANE founder Marjorie Wallace
BBC Breakfast viewers were left scratching their heads when an “important” interview was seemingly “abruptly” ended by presenter Jon Kay.
During the broadcast on Tuesday (August 13), Jon and his fellow presenter Sally Nugent welcomed Marjorie Wallace, the founder and CEO of the mental health charity SANE, via video link.
They were delving into the “distressing” Nottingham stabbings case.
The discussion followed revelations from the family of Valdo Calocane, who shared medical documents they argue highlight missed chances to avert the tragic events that took three lives. They presented a 300-page summary which they believe indicates that Calocane was failed by NHS mental health services.
Marjorie commented: “It’s one of the most damning reports I’ve read, and I’ve been going to enquiries and reports for over 30 years. But sadly, although this is a terrible, horrific headline case, sadly the same kinds of things are happening all the time not always leading to headline tragedies,” reports the Express.

Despite the conversation continuing for several minutes, Jon had to interrupt Wallace, stating: “Marjorie, I’m afraid we really… So many intersecting interests and so many questions. Marjorie Wallace, chief executive of the mental health charity SANE.”
Immediately after, the video feed was cut, and Sally and Jon transitioned directly to the weather forecast and a feature on holidays.
Irate telly viewers stormed social media to voice their dissatisfaction over the “abrupt” finish, with one peeved fan posting on X: “The interview with Marjorie Wallace Founder and Chief Exec of SANE was ended abruptly so they could go to the weather and then some guff on holidays. She has vast experience, the interview should have been extended.”

Another echoed the sentiment saying: “Yeah very abruptly cut off,” while a third added their two cents: “Marjorie Wallace spot on on #BBCbreakfast re Valso Calocane.”
Post-Panorama’s dive into the apparent blunders within the mental health framework, fans were quick to laud the doco sounding off on a desire for more discourse on the crisis.
A viewer piped up: “Well done to @BBCPanorama finally the mental health crisis in this country is being highlighted, most murders are either domestic or mental health related.”
