ONE of the funniest videos of 2017 has to be named as Professor Kelly and his family accidentally gatecrashing an interview with the BBC.
The professor of political science at Pusan National University in South Korea, was speaking to BBC World News about the impeachment of the country’s President Park Geun-hye.
Speaking to the BBC about strained relations in North Korea, Professor Kelly's daughter struts in, unaware of the solemn interview her father is conducting.
Kelly tries to keep his daughter out of shot before her little brother toddles in, followed by the children's mother and Kelly's wife running into shot frantically, trying to collect the kids and shut the door all at once.
