I have had moments like it.
I did three winters on a live shopping Chanel doing one hour shows. Live means that there is no escape if things go wrong.
One day I was working with another presenter and I had to field live telephone calls from satisfied or dissatisfied customers so I had to think on my feet as it were.
The particular product was a doormat that when trodden on removed all dirt mud etc from you shoes and all was going really well.
That is until Mrs Jones from somewhere in Wales called in with a question.
Oh hello Mrs Jones what can I do for you.
Well are you sure now that those mats really do work.
Yes Mrs Jones I have sold them for many years and I promise you will find the to your liking.
Oh that's wonderful,said Mrs Jones and are they trip proof.
Yes Mrs Jones the are very thin and it is impossible to trip, why do you ask?
Well it's my son you see, he only has the one leg and I am sick and tired of seeing the one foot print going down my nice clean hallway.
At this point, and I kid you not the sound and camera men were on the floor rolling about and I mean that literally leaving a full close up shot of myself and the other presenter.
We were both biting our lips and no way were we going to look at each other we just kept mumbling incoherently while the crew regained some semblance of composure Finlay someone in the control room had the wit to cut to something else for about one minute whilst we all gained a little self control.
That was the longest minute in my life.
Live TV is a scary thing and that is far from the only thing that went wrong during my time at Ideal World shopping Chanel.

When I was at college I had a part time job at Thamesmead Radio. It was a small radio station with only 3 studios.
Studio 1 was the main studio, studio 2 was the back-up and studio 3 was where all the mixing and pre-recorded stuff went on, even so, studio 3 was still a fully functioning studio it just never went live.
The day Roy Orbison died me and my friend Sue were doing some pre-recording in studio 3 and neither of us were very interested in what we were doing so we started messing around.
She was pretending to interview me and I was being a loud-mouthed, foul-mouthed, stroppy pop star.
I was slagging off other pop stars and telling who's shagging who and we were havng a right laugh.
After about 10 minutes of all this the studio door flew open and about a dozen people threw themselves in the room and started stabbing at buttons on the mixing desk.
Apparently, goodness knows how, we had managed to make studio 3 go out on the air.
All my swearing and slandering had cut right across the Roy Orbison tribute show.
And so came the end of my radio broadcasting career.

great stories. i'm always getting into trouble for inappropriate laughing and giggling. funerals seem to have that effect on me too.
Raymond
Funerals? Although I must admit I did get a fit of giggles at my Uncle's funeral once, but to be fair he was such a jolly man that if he had been there himself he probably would have started a knees-up.

I was the same at my ex mother in law's mass. When the priests got up to say something, they said it into a microphone of which the volume was turned up really loud, the priests words boomed like it was God talking!!! I was in hysterics... that together with a woman who sang like a wounded whale. The priest looked over a few times (face red from the wine)because I was jerking and my shoulders were going up and down like crazy... even though I was in the back, I'm sure the priest saw me... Obviously I tried to stop and I didn't dare look at my ex hubby who was more inclined to make you laugh more! I couldn't win. My ex Sister in law was giving me the daggers but ahhh, who cares
The best version of that video Raymond is the full one with the subtitles, I think it's about 7 minutes long.
It is the funniest video in the world, bar none. I've seen it over 200 times and it still has me literally in tears of laughter every time.

my youngest get the giggles at her trumpet lesson often... which makes it impossible to play the trumpet .. which of course makes her laugh even more
and then it cracks me up .. and more so because her emotionally inept trumpet teacher never gets the joke and is as serious as Hitler and makes us laugh even more ... oh dear her and I together its deadly for anyone serious
Raymond
It's one of those situations where you know you shouldn't laugh but let's face it, people with funny disabilities are hilarious.
I can't help laughing at people with nervous ticks. The worse the tick the more I laugh. It kills me.
Raymond
No inappropriate laughing here but certainly some undesirable bodily functions:
Ah, I love Fern and Phil. So funny once they get going... I've been watching a few of those best bits and just ruined my make up As for the guy being sick... Ewwww. I was expecting him to fart all the way through the interview instead... Not sure why actually!!!
Raymond
This is definately 'one of those moments'. Firstly, watch the bloke in the middle of the line-up, then pay attention to the man's face who is sitting at the desk. Classic!
LOL. that countdown one has got to be a fake. no way would they allow that
Raymond
Yeah, I think it's been done by some computery geek. What are the chances of eight random letters coming out spelling a word like that?
It is funny though.
