When live television goes wrong. Sometimes very wrong.

Did anyone else wince when they saw that poor pole vaulter? I hope he wasn’t, erm, permanently injured or anything like that. Ouch.

There is always an appeal to watching live television over pre-recorded – especially when it comes to bloopers. And pranks, as we saw with the weatherman clip in this video.

I think all of these were funny, but my favourite one would have to be of the bells. The timing of that just seemed way too perfect.

Mind you, it was a very efficient way of keeping him quiet, that’s for sure. Maybe politicians need to do speeches near churches more often…
