Child interrupts BBC News interview - BBC News

Dr Clare Wenham was giving an interview to the BBC News Channel on local lockdowns when her young daughter interrupted.

Speaking to the BBC afterwards, Dr Wenham said it was ironic that this had happened given she recently wrote a piece for the British Medical Journal on the subject. In it she argues that the collision between our personal and professional lives that has been brought about by the Covid-19 crisis may actually help further gender equality.

But she added that she never thought it would actually happen to her.

That mom brain is amazing. She gave a very professional answer no matter what.

[raghavmishra]

The best thing is mom is still adjusting to the situation and not just shouting. She still has a smile on the face ✌🏻

The lady: How can I compensate for this unfortunate incident?
BBC: Don't worry, We will get more views for this video than our news videos

What a joy to see the host engage and include the little girl. The simple act of letting her know she’s NOT a nuisance but is welcome

I bet 99% of the people didn't listen to what the women was saying and only came here to see the child instead😂😂🤣

Her whole aura changed the moment he asked for her daughter's name.

[snowmass]

He asks my name.I have every right to know his name.

The smile after "what's your daughter called?" is wonderful

[AdibFahri]

what a good move for the host to ask the daughter's name & complement the unicorn etc., just so that the mom doesn't feel bad / embarrassed about the interruption

[muhammadsiddiqui]

I really appreciate the host for making it so natural and human.

[amandadavispomeroy]

I’m completely charmed by all 3 humans in this video. 🥰

Scarlett : Mommy what's his name?

Christian : started sweating silently.

"that 's the most informative interview i' ve done all day" truth.

The moment the host asks her her daughter's name and she breaks into the most lovely smile is so underrated, and reminds me that underneath it all we're just... human.

I had to phone a high level company manager whilst she was at home.
A tiny little voice explained to me that Mummy was unable to speak because she was having a pooh :)

I love how they both reacted to the little girl and how the mom was not embarrassed by it. I've seen some interviews where kids interrupt and the parents seem awfully ashamed when it should be a fact that, given the interviews are done at home, kids interrupting will be inevitable. Great attitude from both the mom and the interviewer.

Beautiful - It's amazing how this mother radiates with beauty when she starts talking about her daughter. Christian is not just a five-star generalist but also one of the most compassionate and human individuals I've encountered. I salute him for that.
