Comic fall interrupts Lebanese television interview

They could say something offensive or heaven forbid a wild or semi-domesticated animal could attack the interviewer.

It is members of the public, however, who normally offer the biggest threat to an interview as this Lebanese video can support.

Luckily for the reporter in question, he did not have to apologise for expletives or deal with an unruly saboteur.

The poor chap appeared to be taking a photo on his smartphone when his left foot failed him, senting him into the drink.

Oh dear, let’s hope the phone was waterproof.
