When the BBC News channel interviews someone, they shove them in a grey cupboard and add a background. If you are bald, your shiny head may reflect the background colour and make your head partially transparent.

I saw one a while back that made me fall off my chair laughing. The chap had a "high forehead" and untamed white hair. They were using a green screen, and it made him look like his hair was completely green - the juxtaposition made even worse by the subject matter being of a serious nature.

I’ve noticed that if the replay the interview, the green screen effect is usually tidied up. I think William Hague was once wearing a tie that completely messed with the system live, but later it had been fixed.
