BBC Radio 4's Today programme was forced off air for 15 minutes this morning after New Broadcasting House was dramatically evacuated following a fire alarm.
The show's team including presenters Martha Kearney and Nick Robinson had to leave the building in London at 7.39am, before being allowed back in at 7.54am.
Staff were forced to wait outside the building in temperatures of -1C (34F), while a pre-recorded message was played apologising for 'disruption' and 'problems'.
A documentary about the history of the T-shirt was also aired along with the world news, and Robinson and Kearney tweeted a picture of themselves out in the cold.
Workers on the programme were allowed back in around ten minutes after the alarm first sounded, without needing to go to the station's back-up studio in Westminster.
