STRANGESIGHTS: THE DANGERS OF THE LIVE TV CROSS; A LATE PAYMENT; AND, A RECORD-BREAKING RUBIK’S FEAT…

Historian and cat

DAVID ADAMS looks at the odder side of life…

Remember the now somewhat famous incident last year when, while doing a live cross with BBC News about the Korean Peninsula, US academic Robert Kelly’s two children decided to interrupt (before they were caught and removed by their mother)? Now a Polish historian and his cat have taken live mishaps a step further. Political scientist Jerzy Targalski was on a live TV cross to a Dutch TV show when his cat leapt on his shoulders, curled around his head and remained standing there. Unfazed, Dr Targalski kept his cool and kept talking. Journalist Rudy Bouma posted the footage on his Twitter feed. Bravo (though we’re not sure if we’re congratulating the cat or Dr Targalskli!).
