It's been 10 years since the BBC made their biggest mistake.

It's been 10 years since the BBC made their biggest mistake.

Some people are terrified of appearing on live TV. 10 years ago however, the BBC put the completely wrong person on air and he handled it like a pro.

Guy Goma
BBC News

It might have been a decade since the business studies graduate was accidentally interviewed on BBC News but the footage hasn’t lost any of its magic.


Guy Goma arrived at the BBC for a job interview as a Data Support Cleanser but ended up being mistaken for tech expert Guy Kewney and quickly rushed on to set and questioned about Apple’s court cases with The Beatles record label.


Of course sheer panic is seen on poor Goma's face when he realises he is most certainly in the wrong place.


He does however try his best to get through the interview without any hiccups.


Even though he didn't end up getting the job, the interview turned Guy into a celebrity overnight.


His TV appearances included Have I Got News for You, Friday Night with Johnathan Ross and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year.


He also inspired an episode of The IT Crowd in 2007.
