BBC programme on weight loss surgery abroad

Just watching this and it is interesting- however.....

She had an image like the bmi one attached where it clearly says "under 18.5 underweight " but her voice over said 16 to 24.9 is healthy

The kind of person who is most likely to watch this, is someone who has weight issues (either physical or mental) so I think it's irresponsible to say this.

maybe the voice over artist just read & said it wrong?

Benedict Cumberbatch did a voice over for a nature programme once and he said penguin wrong multiple times, they still aired it.

I noticed this too. 16 is not a healthy BMI.

I think it was an error but should have been corrected

I dont think it was a voice over artist, it was the reporter

If you contact the BBC, they should try to correct it somehow.

How did he say 'penguin'? Just curious.
