Few things bring glee to viewers quite like a live TV mishap or a cheeky slip of the tongue.
At the weekend (September 9), a live Sky News report was interrupted when a passer-by asked the presenter: "Did you see a skinhead running past with a mobile phone?"
Political reporter Lewis Goodall was just about to deliver a segment on the government's emergency Cobra committee meeting from outside the Cabinet Office in Whitehall when his broadcast was overshadowed by the random man probing him about "a skinhead".
"If you see him, just send him back to me," he added, as he walked out of the camera shot.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "Did you see a skinhead with a mobile phone? Classic on #skynews," while someone else said: "@SkyNews best moment ever. Where's the skinhead with the mobile phone?!"
Another added: "@SkyNews where IS the skinhead with the mobile phone? Better get your top team on this breaking incident."

It's since emerged that the passer-by is actually known Irish prankster James Slattery.
But Sky News reporter Lewis Goodall could seemingly take the joke, later tweeting: "That's no way to talk about Chris Grayling."
