Goma was waiting in the main reception area of the BBC Television Centre in west London to be interviewed for a job as a data support cleanser in the corporation's IT department.

BBC staff put on makeup, and he was ushered to the television studio, where he was seated in front of the cameras and wired up with a microphone.

When introduced by interviewer Karen Bowerman as Internet expert Guy Kewney, Goma realised there had been a misunderstanding and was visibly shocked.
