crackling is partly burnt.
The roast looks good, but the
juices are burnt.

Select the next lowest weight from the instructions and extend the
time.
Use a meat thermometer (available from specialist shops) or carry
out a „spoon test". Press down on the roast with a spoon. If it feels
firm, it is ready. If the spoon can be pressed in, it needs to be
cooked for a little longer.
Check the shelf position and temperature.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish or add more liquid.
Next time, use a larger roasting dish or add less liquid.
Use hot air grilling instead of top/bottom heating. This prevents the
bottom of the roast from becoming too hot, thereby producing less
steam.
The table applies to dishes placed in a cold oven.
