The “BBC dad” blooper turned 7 years old this weekend — and the world got sweet photos to celebrate!
On Saturday, Professor Robert E. Kelly shared new snapshots of his family on X (formerly Twitter) to mark the fact that it’s been seven years since the viral video of his daughter Marion, then 4, and her younger brother James crashing their dad’s very serious BBC interview.
“BBC Dad content. Today is the 7th anniversary of the BBC Dad blooper. So here it is again, with some recent family pictures in the thread below,” Kelly wrote in his post.
Along with the original 2017 video, the father of two shared photos in which he posed with his wife, Kim Jung-A, and his two rather grown-up children.
“These are from Marion’s birthday party today, and James and I hiking this morning,” he captioned one set of four photos.
