Earlier this week, a BBC employee watching something on his computer somehow failed to realize his monitor was in full view on air, for millions of viewers at home.

He was watching a sex scene, and no one was quite sure what it was. Except for Anna Paquin, who recognized herself immediately.

The actress confirmed on Twitter that it was a scene from her HBO show True Blood. Specifically, it was a scene where her character Sookie Stackhouse has sex in a graveyard with the fairy/vampire Warlow, played by actor Robert Kazinsky.

Paquin seemed to find the whole thing funny, as did her husband Stephen Moyer, who played Bill Compton on the show.

True Blood: available to watch on HBO GO, and the BBC News.
