BBC accidentally interviews a cab driver who they thought was an IT expert

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

This is the funniest story Ive heard in a long time, I cant believe this actually happened. Over the weekend, the BBC accidentally mistook a cab driver for tech savvy IT Expert Guy Kewney. The cabbie was waiting in the lobby for a fare when he was swooshed on set, micd up and before he knew it answering questions about the Apple Vs Apple Legal battle. Watch as he gives a face of shock then does his best to go along with it all, hilarious!

Awww, that poor guy. The look on his face when they were introducing him was priceless! I think he did a GREAT job, considering.

This guy blew a great opportunity. I would have started talking about how apple shouldn't even worry about the Beatles because they were never really popular and how all of their fans are just a bunch of old burn outs now anyway.

Read the article & I thought this is bs:

After being pointed in Mr Goma's direction by a receptionist, the producer - who had seen a photo of the real expert - checked: "Are you Guy Kewney?"

betcha a tenner the producer said 'Guy? nice to meet you, come this way'

Well maybe not verbatim, but I feel fairly safe in saying I don't think the producer said his last name.

However,

How the hell did the 'cabbie' thing start????

It was reported in the newspapers that he was a cabbie - and I expect no-one checked the facts before printing and then quoting the original story..shock horror

the funniest thing to me was when she introduced him and his eyes widened in shock LOL

I think she must have worked out it wasnt him, when she started answering; good job on her for keeping going tho

I never am one to jump from A to Q and be all 'it's cos he's black' thing, but honestly, I cannot think of any other reason - other than pershaps the accent? - that would make anyone assume he's a cabbie. And I think that sucks

maybe he's working as a cabbie part-time but thats not his 'job' if you see the distinction..plenty of people do that...who knows..

I would so love it if that's the case.
