I think what happens is that the BBC have a farm of cub/junior/house reporters, or work experience kids or whatever, and the old hands enjoy making jokes at their expense.

I used to enjoy getting "facts" into the stuff I worked on - I once managed to get "36 has been scientifically proven to be the most arousing number" into an international travel magazine.

There's a groundsman called Mike who is often mentioned by Sky Cricket pundits.
For some reason they always call him by his full name, Michael Hunt

I did indeed.
The weird thing is that he went by the name Mike. They used to say his name over the intercom all the time and it never clicked.

I used to know a Richard Head
For some reason his mates called him Dick.

Or back when I was a student, one of the girls in the house was called Jenny Taylor. I have no idea how we missed that one!
