| BBC News Blunder - Guy Goma - 102 sec
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 Apple 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.

On May 8th 2006 BBC News 24's Karen Bowerman interviewed Guy Kewney, a respected IT expert, re. Apple Computer vs. Apple Music. Only it wasn't Guy Kewney. They interviewed a job applicant live on air instead! His expression when he realises their mistake is priceless!

| | BBC mistakes cab driver for IT-expert - 103 sec
A computer expert has described his astonishment at seeing the BBC's 24-hour news channel interview a taxi driver - in the mistaken belief it was him.
Guy Kewney - a white, bearded technology expert - was astonished to see himself appear on screen as a black man with an apparent French accent. He was even more shocked to see himself unable to answer basic questions about the legal battle between the Beatles' Apple Corps and Apple Computer over the use of an apple symbol.
Mr Kewney, an IT journalist and founder of newswireless.net, watched as the cabbie, who has not been named, gamely attempted to answer questions fired at him by BBC consumer affairs correspondent Karen Bowerman.
The man, who had been waiting for his fare in the reception of Television Centre, found himself being ushered into a studio and fitted with a microphone after raising his hand when a producer called out the name Guy Kewney.
On his website, the real Mr Kewney, said that the man "seemed as baffled as I felt" when asked about the consequences of the lawsuit live on BBC News 24.
It is unclear why the driver identified himself when Mr Kewney's named was called but it is thought he had been waiting to pick the computer expert up.
Only when Ms Bowerman announced live on air the name and title of the man who should have been there and asked the first question did the driver realise there had been a mix-up.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "Unfortunately we did make a mistake and the wrong person was interviewed briefly on air before we cut to our reporter.
"We apologise to viewers for any confusion."

| | Lantec Video Interface Edition 11 August 1994 - 299 sec
Back in the early to mid 1990s, as Marketing Manager of the UK's third largest PC reseller, I made a series of videos aimed at corporate I.T. decision makers. At the time (well before the Web) this was cutting edge stuff - and proved very popular, eventually reaching edition 32.
It was mailed out on VHS cassettes - this was well before DVDs as well!
Here then is a 5-minute tongue-in-cheek precis of one edition from the summer of 1994. (The Yellow captions you will see are mine of course.) Where are the people who made it and appeared on it? Drop me an email if you were there!
Some of the names of those involved were: Me (Steve Bell), Darren Smithson, Steve Smith, Tunji Akintokun, Alison Bull, Tim Pickard, Michael Rodd, Colin Grimshaw and Chris Roberts. Those we interviewed and featured included, David Godwin (MD EMEA Novell), John Landry (Chief Technology Officer - Lotus Development Corporatrion), Paul Bailey (MD Lotus Dev Corp UK), Rikke Helms (MD, Borland UK), Dr Alan Soloman (the original Anti-virus King), Guy Kewney (I.T. Guru and Editor-in-Chief at Ziff Davies) and many more - it was quite a list!
