17:09Now PlayingIt’s been 20 years since Guy Goma was mistakenly interviewed live on BBC News.
Goma had arrived at BBC studios for a job interview as a data cleanser, but was confused with technology journalist Guy Kewney - who had been due on air just minutes later.
After producers mistook him for Kewney, Goma was unexpectedly rushed into the studio and interviewed live on air.
James O'Brien is joined by Guy Goma and Elliott Gotkine, Emmy-winning journalist who accidentally put Guy on the telly, and is walked through how the extraordinary mix-up unfolded.
