Twenty years ago, Guy Goma went for a job interview at the BBC...and found himself on live TV, introduced as internet expert Guy Kewney (who was still waiting at reception).
Mr Goma carried it off with such aplomb that the BBC didn't even admit there'd been a mixup until a week later. Hilariously, despite being neither Guy Kewney nor an internet expert, his prediction about music downloads has proved to be quite correct.
He has now written a book with the producer who collected him from reception, titled - of course - The Wrong Guy.
