I'm willing to bet that this is Tom Scott's real father.

“Oops… *I forgot to press record, can we redo that shot please?”*

[QuintonMurdock]

Not only was it perfectly timed for the flow of the sentence, but the timing was also perfect for the focus of the camera to shift since it doesn’t happen instantaneously

Bro is like a villain explaining his intentions before killing millions

[flyg]

That was the chillest, most laid back, perfect timing, I’ve ever seen! 😂

[RealestKraken]

You know production was sweating balls doing that scene

[KatariaGujjar]

Legend has it that they skipped the countdown and used his pointing finger instead for launch.

BBC Connections to this day is the best documentary series I've ever seen.

Cameraman: "Sorry there was a plane or something in the shot, can we run that back?"

"Destination: the Moon"
Me: Cool
"or Moscow"
Me: *_nervous sweating_*

I'm glad he clarified about from where the dude released them gases

I remember this show in the 80s. It was called Connections. It was on a channel in Canada called The Knowledge Network" great show. There was nothing like it on TV for it's time.

100% one of the best timed shots of all times.

[mop_man]

This is such perfect timing, he didn’t speed up or slow down his talking nor did he take a long break, just straight up said you get that then boom

[matt]

I hope this dude got a raise after this.
