A cab driver brought into the studio to talk about Apple Computers court case: http://img.dailymail.co.uk/video/cabbie.wmv

Yep, read about that this morning! Comedy. What possessed him to continue walking into the studio itself? Did he not speak a word of English?!?! LoL his face when she announces he's the editor of a techonology wireless website!

his facial expression when she says that is priceless isn't it!? credit to him for carrying on with the interview though.

He was dressed quite smartly for a taxi driver. I wished they dressed that way where I lived or even drived properly on the road.

A friend of mine spotted him outside TV Centre today with a photographer (presumably of the newspaper variety)

Turns out he wasn't a taxi-driver after all: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4774429.stm

How fab. He did really well though, he could have totally corpsed, at least he made a decent go of the interview.

Wonder if he got the job ?

Well, I really hope he got the job, after all he did quite well given the surprise and the fact that he probably didn't even know what the interviewer was talking about...
Loved the way he said "good morning........."

theres a good quality clip of the full interview here on the real Guy's website. Like the way the reporter at the end of the clip on scene started with, "As you've just probably been told" Wonder if he listened to the interview or just assumed?

Just saw the emoticons 'drought' reference earlier for the first time - lol.

Classic mess-ups - when Scotland Today first introduced a new digital studio which was far more automated, everything went wrong. Absolutely no reports worked, and the presenters had to give up five minutes in. Instead we had, if I remember rightly, 25 minutes of Scottish landscape pictures.

Does anyone remember when the Blackhill transmitter (metaphorically) completely collapsed, and STV went completely off the air to the whole of Scotland. They came back with landscape pictures (this appearing to be their default reaction to things going wrong), and a news bulletin in which none of the reports worked.

The real Guy Kewney comes over a bit of an arse in this original posting:

Obviously the free pubilicity generated hadn't disuaded him from laying into Mr. Goma

What about Anthony "F-ing" Wilson on Granada News a few years back?
Sadly I don't think anyone has a clip of that.
