Yes, you read right ...

Myra Lee was doing a live report from Bath on 'yoofs' causing trouble, and they threw a yellow flare at her.

Didn't look like anyone was hurt, but surely if you're going to do a live from a place like that, you've got to think about security.

If they just rolled up with sat truck and cameraman, they were asking for trouble.

as they went to the live report she was bending down trying to remove something from view but then got up and carried on with the two-way - it seems a few things were thrown towards them and even the cameraman had to clean the camera lens, whilst live in air just before the missle was thrown...................aaaaahhhhhhhh

Just watched that clip. Thought Myra handle it as well as can be expected. Not sure you could discribe it as funny though, more odd.

Funny is Points West's Richard Angwin pushing the virgin mary out of shot during a live weather transmission at Christmas because she was a drunk. If anyone could trace that clip, that would have you in stiches.

I agree. Duncan getting egged by the wonderful youth of Grimsby on Calendar was far funnier to watch.
