Our first TV appearance

Yesterday we had quite an eventful "first": Matthew and I were invited as guests of a national TV talk show, the subject being "families".
Matthew and I were asked to represent large families - a species on the brink of extinction here in Italy, which has the sad record of having the lowest birth rate in Europe, and the second-lowest in the world (after Japan).
You can watch a replay of the program (in Italian) here:

To see our short appearance you can fast forward to 1:43:40 (1 hr and 43').... enjoy!
It is a learning experience: the studio was so much smaller than expected... and even though we tried hard to be relaxed, we were both rather tense. Next time (!) it will be better...
