Fun fact, you are actually told to do that. Never apologise for technical difficulties or anything going wrong, don't draw attention to it. Always act in a way so that if someone just turned the TV or radio on as soon as the problem was cleared up, they should have no idea what just happened. They also just don't have time to freak out, they have a schedule to stick to (not that this stops some people!). But yes it was very very smooth.
I was thinking that too... I would be red faced, sweating, trying to think of a funny pun, who can I blame, who can I deflect to, then I'd have anxiety attacks for the next ten years thinking about it.
I would have been frazzled in my 20s. Saw a clip today a regular news report. The reporter on the beat began talking of the defendants "lengthy trial- 😳 lengthy hearing.." and I was like, girl, I feel ya, but it wasn't a devastating error. Lol. But it goes to show at least she cares. Hehe.

"you can pretend like you haven't noticed" I laughed out loud. She started her spill at the right cue even when she isn't on that chair yet. What a professional she is.
But she doesn't actually say "You can pretend like you haven't noticed". In fact it was "You can pretend that you haven't noticed," because, unlike most BBC print journalists, she uses correct grammar.
The best part about this video is the fact that BBC News uploaded it to TH-cam ... ain’t no covering up any embarrassment. Own your mistakes and laugh about them. That’s the way to enjoy life.
The calmness of her voice sent shudders through the control room. They knew... they all knew... it was the calm before the storm, and they'd witness the brunt of it in 17 minutes.
oh. . I love moments like these. . so 'down to earth' little mistakes of humans. .not a robot. . such a calm professionalism though. We should applaud.
@gerry findon Having death as the main headline constantly, every day, is probably unfavourable for national news. National moral is partially in their hands.
I love how you can see her on the correct mark the moment before it becomes obvious the cameras weren’t programmed right. The laugh shows for an instant on her face, but it never tells in her voice.
She was standing in front of another camera, so the director could have easily have cut to that. Looks like the director was a trainee and didn't know how to get out of cutting to the wrong camera. Another alternative is that the camera had failed so they had no choice but to have her move to her desk.
If they're in the standing position graphics show up on the adjacent screen illustrating the news as she reads it so they probably didn't have graphics ready to show for that evening's news
That's what happens when you automate. From time to time, it just fcuks up. Good on Martine for handling it so well, no flap, no panic, just calm professionalism.
Indeed. There aren't many comments talking about the automated camera set up (which has been in news rooms for a while now) and so seemingly think it was the newsreaders initial mistake "she was in the wrong place but so calm". She was in the place she was supposed to be and as you say the automated set up fooked it up!
Helloooooo there! I usually only get these recommendations about a month after everyone else on the whole damn planet does, so it's actually kinda cool that I get to interact with someone from so recent in the past! Not a lot has changed since your day, I don't think - a bunch of people sadly died (may they rest in peace), but a whole other bunch were joyfully born, so... yup - we live in exciting times!🤗
What a pro
@Bilal Khalid I did haha 😂😂😂
She handled it too well
Lol
She sure is a pro
Gracefully done with humour and worthy self possession. One's heart warms to her.
She handled that perfectly. Not freaking out or saying sorry 100 times, just pretended like it never happened

No panicking or such, she just casually strolls back to the news desk. A dignified disappearing act to keep the viewers on their toes.

Mad respect for that smooth 7 stages of grief
Why does TH-cam select this stuff 6 years later? Also why do I click each time?
we click on it because our reward circuitry has been hacked by AI algorithms that keep getting better at making us stay.

Another alternative is that the camera had failed so they had no choice but to have her move to her desk.
this comment is 2 years old but i just want it to go on record that the cameras are automated and nobody is controlling them
Even if they move automatically, they can probably manually switch between the cameras.
LauritzT do you even know how they work?
She was wearing a slightly short dress and the newly appointed female director refused last minute to show it.
If they're in the standing position graphics show up on the adjacent screen illustrating the news as she reads it so they probably didn't have graphics ready to show for that evening's news

Its not about the faults that you make but how gracefully and lightly you pick yourself up.
