“Baffled cabbie” on BBC

May 15, 2006

If you haven’t yet seen this, check out BBC’s baffled cabbie. Apparently, this gentleman was in the lobby of Television Centre, waiting for his fare. When he heard his fare’s name called, he raised his hand, and was quickly escorted into the newsroom to comment on the Apple vs. Apple decision. The first 10 seconds of the video are priceless, as the man realizes that he’s been mistaken for someone else, and then makes a split-second decision (that you can see on his face!) to wing it through the interview.

Story and video via The Mail on Sunday: story and video.

UPDATE: according to Boing Boing, this gentleman isn’t a cabbie, but rather an IT job applicant coincidentally named “Guy” (Guy Kewney was the man who should have appeared on the BBC segment). When they called “Guy,” and mentioned an interview, he assumed he happened into a job interview. That explains the clothes.
