I didn’t see this happen live, but only just found out about it. ITN’s Alex Thompson, who is currently the main anchor of More4 News, the sister programme to Channel 4 News, and his cameraman, are interrupted by a protestor. The result is a scuffle, and the studio anchor, who isn’t familiar to me, has to take the lead in to the next report.
Have to say, the protestor is a bloody idiot for thinking he could interrupt something like this and get away with it, and I have to say to those who think that this was an arranged act, to stop being so cynical about news broadcasting. You don’t arrange for these kinds of interruptions. Ever.
