Remarkable Punditry from the BBC
My old friend Guy Kewney gave a bizarre interview on the BBC this past week, offering a surprisingly rambling commentary on the Beatles/Apple court case. Except it turned out not to be him at all, but his startled cab driver who had been grabbed by a floor producer apparently because was holding Kewney's name tag. Reminded me for a moment of the classic Peter Sellers movie "Being There". Priceless. Check out the look on the driver's face as the interview starts to roll.....

I love the transcript of the interview:
KAREN BOWERMAN: Guy Kewney is editor of the technology website Newswireless.

Actually he wasn't a cab driver but someone looking for a job. You can imagine the conversation.
"Hello, we are a running a bit late, are you ready for your interview."
"Yes"
"Great, just through here, sit there, lights camera action"
"oooh-kay"
