BBC News 24 mistakenly interview cab driver instead of an IT Expert.. Live on air

[MUFC2007]

BBC is the worlds greatest broadcasting company, and it is true, they do make mistakes, alike everyone, sometimes the news readers make mistakes live, sometimes the technical team show wrong footage, sometimes the radio team mess up too, but that's life - In 2006 Karen Bowerman interviewed Guy Kewney, a respected IT expert, except it wasn't Guy Kewney but a job applicant!!!

Fair play to him, he quickly played cool and tried his best.
This is a little old but I doubt everyone has seen it.

This is really old for anyone who's in the UK, but still pretty stupid of the BBC.

I love how she's like "expert" and he's like "OH SHIT."

Yeah, my main reason for posting this is for the lack of knowledge on the BBC in a similar thread in this section, and for those members to perhaps get a little laugh from this. Poor guy, at least he stayed there and didn't mention that he wasn't the IT Expert.

Well played for that guy to go through answering the questions.

I love how he's like :byodood: though.
