The BBC has apologised several times since Sunday’s broadcast, and the ceremony remains unavailable to watch on iPlayer after the corporation removed it on Monday morning.
On Tuesday, the corporation’s chief content officer Kate Phillips told staff the BBC took “full responsibility” for what happened, adding that another racial slur had been edited out of the broadcast.
In contrast, the one shouted when Lindo and Jordan were on stage “was aired in error and we would never have knowingly allowed this to be broadcast”, she said.
In a statement on Monday, Bafta said it acknowledged the “harm this has caused, address what happened and apologise to all”.
In a letter to its members on Tuesday, the organisation said it wanted to “assure all our members that a comprehensive review is under way”.
