Footage has emerged of pranksters who apparently gained access to the BBC News studios during a live broadcast. The BBC said a group of five individuals entered the studio at Broadcasting House in central London at around 7.30pm on Friday. BBC News said the studio was being used at the time, but that the 'intruders' were were not seen on screen.
The group then left of their own accord.

Last night, a 40-second video clip was shared online which appeared to show the group behind the stunt.
Footage shows several young men inside the studios and boasting: "Guys, right now, were in the BBC headquarters and we’re gonna try and run on live TV.
"Guys, literally yeah, I ran on the set of BBC News! and it’s crazy, the video is going to be out on Sunday."
A BBC spokesman said: "We take security very seriously and are urgently investigating how several individuals were able to gain access to a studio. "No one was hurt and there was no interruption to broadcasts. "We have already taken further security measures and will take any other necessary steps."
