Anglia News tonight tried to win the award for the worst possible pronunciation of a name.
When doing a little montage of famous cup upsets, they did a summary of events in 1978, including the election of Pope John Paul II.
The Anglia presenter said "Karol Wojtyla became Pope", but rather than calling him "Karol Voy-tee-ya", they called him Karol "Woj - tiller".
I know the BBC are supposed to have a translation and pronunciation book. I guess it hasn't reached ITV.
