Popularly known as the ‘BBC Dad’ moment, the viral video of two kids nonchalantly walking into a room where their father was being interviewed by BBC was named the Best TV Moment at the Broadcast Awards on February 7. The clip, which created quite a buzz on social media, showed a kid coming from behind and is first spotted by the interviewer who informs the father North Korea expert Prof Robert E Kelly about the same in the ongoing video conference.

Kelly, much to his chagrin, finds the boy right next to him and tries to send him out of the room. It is only when a lady, while maintaining utmost caution, whisks the boy away that things return to normalcy.

And we won! TV moment of 2017!! Thank you voters @BroadcastAwards and of course @Robert_E_Kelly and his lovely family @BBCWorld pic.twitter.com/0GAxzKSv15

Very important business and life lesson…likeability and authenticity and humanity. I still laugh watching the brilliant interview. And a reminder there is more to life than nuclear armegedon and politics. Love it.

All the planning that goes into tv production. And then a moment of tv gold is produced unscripted and unrehearsed. Excellent

This clip gave me the most laughter and joy of any individual moment last year. Just golden!

Moreover, quite recently Al Jazeera too had a similar incident where film historian Daniel Smith was interrupted during an interview when his son walked into the frame, and insisted on sticking around. Clearly taken aback by the intrusion, Smith softly pushes his son away but the news anchor was more than happy to have his kid on air.
