Guy Goma, of the Congo, showed up at the BBC News for an interview for an IT job.
Instead, the Beeb mistook him for a Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net, who was about to be interviewed for a piece on the Beatles' lawsuit with Apple Computer over the Apple trademark. It put him on the air for an interview about the subject.
Thing is, Goma did pretty well for himself. I've seen worse so-called experts interviewed on the TV news.
If the BBC is smart, it'll give Goma the job; he certainly displayed an ability to think fast in a crisis.
