Dr Clare Wenham went viral after her daughter burst in on a live BBC interview
is familiar to everyone who has spent the past few months watching colleagues’ children burst in on conference calls. Yet, it still feels like TV gold every time we see someone’s offspring bound into a room while a parent is in the middle of a live broadcast. Yesterday we were blessed with this on two occasions.
‘He was also working at the same time and no one's asked me because I think it's very different to that stuff with Robert Kelly because we weren't in lockdown then,’ she says. Although lockdown means the circumstances are very different to Prof Kelly’s experience it’s interesting that the question of where her partner was has not come up. Would this be the case if she had been a man, or do we still assume it’s a woman’s role to take care of children?
‘I’m a bit like “Really? Really? Is that where we’re at?’ A. It’s weird. B. Is a mother of small children really something that people are interested in? And C. Come on, can we not move beyond thinking about sex?', she says. She admits she hasn’t had time to think about it in much detail yet in the 24 hours since she went viral, but she does hope to see it normalised more.
