One viewer pleaded: "Ok BBC can we sort the sound out, I wanna hear Graham! ".
Another commented: "Sort ya sound out, Graham," while a third echoed: "Dodgy sound there."

Addressing the technical hiccup, Graham stated: "I think there might have been some problems with my microphone at the beginning."
