Description

Watch the moment the BBC mistakenly interviewed Guy Goma, a job candidate, live on air instead of Guy Kewney, a technology journalist. Twenty years ago, on 8 May 2006, Goma was invited to interview for a role at the BBC. When he was confused with Kewney in reception, it landed him in a live slot on the BBC News Channel. Goma did not shy away from this unique situation and answered the presenter’s questions, despite not knowing the context. He did not get the job he came in to interview for.
