Live TV gets the channels more eyeballs, but it’s far more difficult to manage it compared to recorded broadcasts. One mistake and it hurts big time. There is no scope of any problem in Live especially in this age of Social Media where everything goes viral instantly.
While we are talking about avoiding small mistakes, there happened a big blunder when BBC reporter accidentally pushed a woman with her breast Live on TV.
The incident happened when Ben Brown, A BBC reporter was Live interviewing the assistant political editor, Norman Smith. This is when a woman member of the public came into their shot and while trying to be the astute professional by palming her off, Ben, unfortunately, suffered poor hand placement.

No need to explain to us…………if she makes an official complaint as a crime you can explain it under caution.

Well, this clearly looks like a publicity stunt to us because one just can’t act ignorant to such accidents. If Ben pushed her accidentally, the least he could do next was saying sorry. How much effort it takes?
