'BBC dad' parody imagines how a mother would’ve reactedAnd it's hilarious...

One week after the “BBC Dad” interview took the world by storm, the parodies haven't stopped coming in just yet.

Professor Robert Kelly was speaking live to the BBC from his home, when he was interrupted by his adorable children, followed by his flustered wife.

If you've been wondering how a mum might have handled the situation, here’s your answer; or at least a version of that.

New Zealand's Jono and Ben comedy show has produced a segment with Kate Wordsworth acting as Robert Kelly's female equivalent.

She's answering questions about the political crisis in South Korea when her daughter walks in.

Following the little girl, the toddler slides in the room, too. No father figure rushes in to grab the children - instead, she picks her daughter up, feeds her milk and then hands a rattle to the boy.

The parody then takes a wild turn involving some unusual multitasking you wouldn’t expect during a TV interview, such as cleaning the toilet, taking roast chicken out of the oven, and even defusing a bomb.

And for a hilarious ending, the dad finally appears in the door, too, but it’s not the children he’s looking for.
