Indeed, the Show Must Go On!

Hugh Edwards was busy delivering his usual “BBC News at Ten” when a technical difficulty happened. The live feed got interrupted for about four minutes and is still considered one of the most prolonged halts on television.

Viewers at home saw their screens flipping between seeing the live presenter and various video clips. The crew later discovered that the studio’s software was malfunctioning. Edwards was at his desk calmly, reading his notes during all of this. When things got back to normal, he continued the show as if nothing had happened. It takes a true professional to keep calm and carry on, and Edwards did just that.
