It's 17 years since Guy Goma unwittingly appeared on BBC news in a case of mistaken identity when he was attending a job interview with the corporation – but now he's set to sue
A man who became an early internet sensation after the BBC interviewed him live on air by mistake says he is planning to sue the corporation over lost earnings from the clip.
The blunder has been viewed more than five million times on the broadcaster’s YouTube channel but Guy told a podcast he has not received any royalties arising from the interview. Archie told him the lack of payment seemed “incredibly unfair” given how many times the clip has been watched.He said: “I said ‘excuse me, I don’t need that, I just came for the job interview, I don’t need makeup’.”
