Yes it was childish, but It made us laugh




Sky's football tonight programme provided the funniest moment of last weeks tv. At just after eight o'clock on Friday Claire Tomlinson and her male co-presenter were reading out e-mails and texts about Rio's departure from the World Cup. Claire read out one from a football fan stating that he was sorry Rio was going home but that Stevie G would make a great captain, she then said, "That's from Hugh Janus in Coventry."

There was a pause of no more than five seconds before she realised what she had said, whether or not the director had told her into her earpiece I have no idea, and her face began to betray the naughty thoughts in her head - the camera quickly cut to her co-presenter. When it returned to Claire she looked the perfect professional once more.

Excellent! Think how chuffed the sender must've been to see it read out on Sky.

A few years ago, on 1st April, we conned a modern apprentice into ringing up another department and asking for "Warwick Hunt".

Brilliant! Beats getting a colleague to phone the local zoo's phone number and ask for Mr Lyon.

Must have been a TV memorable moment, brilliant indeed. Mr. P. Nurse would be funnier if I didn't know one! (still funny though)
