| BBC News Blunder - Guy Goma |
 |
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.
