Raw Dykes Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 I remembered something weird I saw on a live TV show, and then remembered a few more straight after, so I thought I'd share them and see if anyone else saw them. Let us know what the funniest or weirdest things you've seen or heard on the telly or radio are. Doesn't have to be live telly or radio, but I think it's more likely to be. Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm thinking of: http://youtu.be/NEkB25V_ow8 I was watching live football coverage, I think it was on Channel 5 about 10 years ago. At half time or after the match, the woman presenting (no-one famous) asked a guest pundit about an incident, and if he was manager, how he'd react. "To be honest, I'd go spastic", was his response. This was followed by silence and awkward faces all round. The presenter looked distracted by something off camera, then she fumbled for a bit before saying, "We'll be back after the break." On Countdown, the guest in dictionary corner normally gets a minute or two to tell an anecdote or a long-winded joke. On one episode, the guest was some fat, old, posh bloke. No idea who he was. When it was his moment in the limelight, he decided the best thing to do would be to ramble on incessantly about caning schoolchildren. While he droned on, I was trying to work out what his point was. Was there going to be anything funny or interesting at the end? Nope. He just eventually stopped talking and stared down the camera with a weird little smile during an awkward silence, before the clearly creeped-out host thanked him and carried on. On Something for the Weekend about two years ago, a fit woman chef was preparing a dish, stood next to presenter Louise Redknapp, and going through the recipe with her. The other presenter, a bloke, had nothing to do with this part of the show and was stood at the other side of the studio watching. For a moment, the two women stopped talking while they were busy mixing some ingredients. The bloke must have completely zoned out, cos he suddenly went "Mmmmmmmm" in his daydream while watching them before realising where he was and what he was doing. The two women seemed a bit panicked and they carried on chatting. Let us know if you caught anything that definitely shouldn't have been broadcast.
purpleronnie Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 I saw Tommy Cooper drop dead on ITV once. Well its not likely to happen twice. ok maybe repeats.

dave the caveman Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 Was watching kids TV once and they were playing a game involving members of the audience. One of the players was a girl of about 10-years-old who was strikingly pretty. At one point one of the adult male presenters made some kind of mistake involving her and said "sorry...i'll make it up to you later...in a caravan", which provoked some shocked background laughter. I remember feeling sure he would get fired, but as far as i'm aware nothing ever came of it.
sphericalfox Posted 4 April 2012 Posted 4 April 2012 Firstly that's cheating. I doubt very much you were up late at night watching shite Swedish game shows Secondly this surely has to win hands down & is recently topical!!!!
