The sort of behind the scenes thing you don't really need to know.
We had an interview planned for 15.00 with the Czech foreign minister. Three o'clock came and went. Another (iPM) interview planned for the same time, which we'd postponed a little, was done around 15.10.
15.20 came and went. Calls were made...still no foreign minister.
15.30.
15.40.
At 15.50, I could stand it no longer and went to the loo.
While I was in trap 5, the Czech foreign minister called in. Just as a search party was being despatched, I arrived back in the office.
The moral - and broadcasters the world over will confirm this - if you want a delayed guest to show up, just go to the loo.
