The BBC interviewed a cab driver by mistake thinking he was Internet expert Guy Kewney. The cab driver thought he was there for a different interview.

QUOTE
As Bowerman introduced him, there's a moment when the still unidentified driver realized the mistake. He scrunched his face into a grimace, and in panic tried to open his mouth as if to explain.

"Were you surprised by this verdict today?" Bowerman asked.

"I'm very surprised to see the verdict come on me because I was not expecting that," he said in a heavy French accent, blinking in the studio lights. "When I came, they told me something else.''

Growing more confident, he gamely went on to deliver his opinion on the future of music downloads following the landmark verdict.

Meanwhile, the real Kewney, who was waiting to be taken to the studio, looked up on a monitor and found another man ensconced in the interviewee's chair.

I love his 'OMGWTFWAAWAAA' face as he realises he's live on national TV.



'Yes, the internets, everywhere, you can download, internets, yeah.'

EDIT: I read elsewhere that he was the taxi driver for the guy who was supposed to be interviewed. And that they took him to the interview room cause he had a namebadge of that guy.
