Many weird and wonderful things
have been spotted in the background of news reports. It’s well documented on YouTube;
from sports fans longing to get a glimpse of fame during their celebrations to
local yobs acting up in the background often with the reporter losing it as a
result. Modern broadcasters are often able to blur out the background to create
more focus on their reporters while protecting the public as they pass by; but
if you look close enough you can still see the outline of people going about
their daily lives. I once saw a highway maintenance van nearly run a couple as
it made its oblivious way down a pedestrianised high street. The truck calmly
carried on while the yonder woman held back the elderly man then stopped to
comfort him. Once the man had been told what had happened, he shook his fist at
the offending vehicle. Of course, the newsreader was oblivious to all this as
she was facing the camera, but I wonder if it caught the attention of the
cameraman.
