BBC News Blunder - Guy Goma
Uploaded by: CDPike
Video Description:
He is the BBC's latest star - the cab driver who a leading presenter believed was a world expert on the internet music business.
The man stepped unwittingly into the national spotlight when he was interviewed by mistake on the corporation's News 24 channel. With the seconds ticking down to a studio discussion about a court case involving Apple Computer and The Beatles' record label, a floor manager had run to reception and
grabbed the man, thinking he was Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net, a specialist internet publication. Actually, he was a minicab driver who had been waiting to drive Mr Kewney home. Despite knowing nothing about the case - a judge ruled that the computer company could continue to use the A
pple symbol for its iTunes download service - the man gamely attempted to bluff his way through and, speaking in a strong French accent, sustained a (somewhat illogical) form of conversation. Meanwhile, the real Mr Kewney watched indignantly on a monitor in reception.

| CDPike - "Actually, he was a minicab driver who had been waiting to drive Mr Kewney home." ...Actually he wasn't a minicab driver, he was at the bbc waiting for a job interview in reception. It was simply a case of mistaken id. He got his 'original interview' after this broadcast but wasn't given the job. Yet, on the flip side, his website mentions a major hollywood director is now trying to produce a film about his story for the big screen...he is a legend now! |

| I think his accent really managed to get him out of that with a believable interview. If you read a written transcription of the interview, you'll see that he's making absolutely no sense at all. |
