    Twenty years ago, Congolese man Guy Goma came into the BBC for a job interview but, in a now legendary case of mistaken identity, ended up live on the BBC News Channel. Now Mr Goma and the producer who put him on air have written a book about the experience called The Wrong Guy. Speaking to BBC Africa, Guy explained how he felt in the moment and how he managed to stay calm under the unexpected pressure of live TV.
