Robert Kelly's live BBC interview

The video of the two kids bursting in on their dad’s live TV interview went viral last Friday.

Never work with children or animals. That’s one of the first rules of live television. But maybe locking your doors when doing a live broadcast at home should be another rule that needs to be emphasized.

Otherwise you could end up like BBC correspondent Professor Robert E. Kelly who was taking part in a live broadcast from Busan, about the very serious matter of the impeachment of the South Korean president.

This is what happened, if you’re one of the few people out there who hasn’t seen the viral video yet.

Professor Kelly looked serious in the interview, until the seriousness in his face turned to nervousness when a toddler opens the door, and merrily walks in. As the professor tried to shoo his daughter away, a smaller child in a baby walker enters, waddling its arms around. The poor professor tried his best to maintain his composure, until a woman cartoonishly slides in the room and drags the children out. The professor kept apologizing to the camera, and to the millions watching while he waits for his wife and children to leave the room. His wife then hilariously reaches to close the door from the floor.

Professor Kelly’s mother has now waded into the discussion of what happened that night. She revealed why the kids decided to crash into the room while daddy was skyping.


Ellen Kelly said, “Robert usually Skypes with us from his home office, which is where he did the interview. The kids probably heard voices coming from the computer and assumed it was us. It was just hilarious”.

She added that she was proud of her son, and gave him her own piece of advice, “Life happens. The lesson is to lock the door”.

Lesson learned.
