Live Boo-Boo: BBC with the Wrong 'Guy'

BBC had one of the most public and high profile boo-boo in broadcasting history when it had a 'Live' interview with the a Mr Guy Kewney, an IT expert of the industry, only to realise mid-way through the interview with the French accented guy that it's the wrong guy.

View the actual interview broadcasted.

Really funny, esp note his look of horror, and how he valiantly and quite coolly tried to answer the questions fired at him by BBC's consumer editor. His response is like .. OMG... what have I gotten myself in for .... die... ok, still, cannot die.. just have to do it and hope nothing goes wrong ...right, here goes .... wow...
Originally thought to be a cab driver, it seemed that this wrong guy called Guy Goma was a business graduate from Congo at the BBC waiting for a job interview instead. Talk bout a comedy of errors - all coincidental parallels.


View BBC's later damage-control broadcast clip.

BBC trying to spin a docu-story out of this boo-boo and retain some shred of credibility.
