..IT'S JUST NOT CRICKET!

VIEWERS were stunned when their tellies suddenly began to show explicit porn.

Instead of the cricket and documentary on BBC1 and BBC2, they were confronted with sex scene - including some involving naked lesbians and a five-way orgy.

It happened as technicians at Smallworld Cable carried out maintenance, sparking 20 complaints.

Viewer Gary Brown, 26, said: "I had switched over to BBC 1 to watch the cricket and couldn't believe my eyes.

"There were naked bodies all over the place, including two men and three women taking part in an orgy.

"It's just as well it was a school night and the kids were in bed - I wouldn't have wanted them seeing what appeared."

Another viewer added: "Some of the stuff broadcast by accident was really near the knuckle.

"I had a bit of a laugh about it, but I can see how some people could be offended by what was shown. It's just as well it was late at night."

Small world viewers tuning in on Tuesday night were also treated to a woman doing a lengthy striptease before dancing naked through a wood.

Other clips on the subscription channel included sex acts which can't be described in a family newspaper.

Last night, Keith Arnold, a spokesman for the network, which covers Ayrshire, apologised for the peep-show.

He added: "We are in the process of upgrading our systems and have come up against several problems.

"But this should never have happened and we apologise to those people who were subjected to any offensive material.

"We didn't foresee this problem and I can assure viewers that it will not happen again.

"If we can't remedy the fault, we will take these channels off air until work is complete."
