OK, for those not aware, the BBC invited Guy Kearney to discuss the Apple court case. Instead however, the producer went to the wrong place, called his name out, and a certain Guy Goma got up. Times and Mail versions of story, and YouTube video.

At first, the story was it was the cabbie due to collect him. It now turns out Mr Goma is actually a "data cleansing expert" there for a job interview; he thought the recording studio was part of the interview process. It's so funny, even William Gibson is posting to his blog about it. Best bit? The producer had previously looked at Guy Kearney's website. Mr Kearney is, noticeably, white. Mr Goma is distinctly not. You really would have thought they'd have twigged a little earlier.

Ha ha ha... The look on his face when he realised it wasn't his name... priceless!
