Titled: Fare comment!

Drudge brings us a snippet of an unlikely hero, trying so hard to please, yet so far out of his depth. A taxi driver waiting in the lobby at the BBC was apparently mistaken for an expert in online music and rushed onto air. He gamely manages to bluff his way through a couple of questions before being whisked away. The best part is the look of sheer horror and confusion on his face when he is introduced and realizes why he is there.

The BBC apologised, saying the mistake occurred because the man was wearing Mr Kewney's name tag. Mr Kewney said: "Everyone seems to think he was a taxi driver waiting in reception to take me home. But no one knows for sure."

He added: "There were several surprising things about 'my' interview. Judging by my performance, English wasn't my first language and I didn't seem to know much about Apple, online music or The Beatles." He said the taxi driver "seemed as baffled as I felt".

Last night, the driver's identity remained a mystery. None of the taxi firms regularly used by the BBC would admit to employing him.
