Guy Goma turned up at the corporation’s headquarters for a job interview in 2006, but when he arrived he ended up being interviewed on the BBC News Channel about internet music downloads. The blunder has been viewed more than five million times on the broadcaster’s YouTube channel but Mr Goma told a podcast he has not received any royalties arising from the interview.

He added that the BBC has been using the clip for 17 years with “no penny to me”, later adding “that clip made them richer”.
