It\u2019s been 17 years since Guy Goma was somehow mistaken for an IT expert and interviewed on BBC News. He\u2019s now threatening to sue the broadcaster.<\/p>\n

In 2006, Goma immediately became a viral sensation when he unwittingly found himself being grilled live on air despite only entering the BBC offices for a job interview.<\/p>\n

He was waiting in the reception area of the BBC Television Centre while actual IT expert Guy Kewney was waiting to be led to the studios in another waiting room.<\/p>\n

When Goma\u2019s name was called he just assumed it was for his job interview but minutes later his face was on televisions around the world. <\/p>\n

Having absolutely no knowledge of IT, Goma clearly looked panicked as he tried to power through a discussion with presenter Karen Bowerman about a legal battle between Apple Computers and the Apple Corps record company.<\/p>\n

Goma was completely clueless but did predict music would be released online only which with the exception of vinyl and the resurgence in the cassette\u2019s popularity is basically true.<\/p>\n
