This went out live on BBC 24. You can see the actual interview from the link below.


The man who became a celebrity after he was mistaken for an internet expert and interviewed on BBC News 24 could see a film made about his story.
The incident involving Guy Goma is the basis for a film being planned by Alison Rosenzweig, who produced the 2002 Nicolas Cage film Windtalkers.


The unemployed computer technician had been at the BBC for a job interview.

But the graduate from the Congo gained worldwide attention in May after a mix-up saw him interviewed on air instead of Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net.

Has anyone seen the CNBC clip of the anchor reporting that Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest beat the opening weekend box office of Aquaman?
