    He didn't get the job? He showed off quick thinking, a calm demeanour and handled a situation he was not even remotely prepared for.
    Those are fantastic qualities. Madness.

    The man was able to compose himself in literally 3 seconds after being unexpectedly shoved into a position many people would consider a nightmare (live TV in front of millions), and was able to answer in a way that sounds like he’s done it a thousand times. The ways he said “actually…” and “exactly…” are hilariously chill. All that in what I assume is a second language. If he didn’t get the IT job I can’t believe they didn’t at least find some other position for him.

      Pay him what? What money is he due? What money was made off of this at the time? The BBC doesn’t run advertisements - it’s state funded. Internet videos were barely a thing at the time, nevermind video monetisation.
      what money? the bbc is not a for profit, publicly or privately traded company. it doesn’t really make any profits - at-least, that’s not what it’s there for. Any money generated will go back into budgets. It’s a state owned institution, funded by the tax payers (license fee payers) in the uk. There’s no adverts on the bbc lol. there’s no royalties for him except for maybe a couple hundred pounds of online ad revenue (if they monetised it), which would not be worth suing over - because even if he was awarded some or even all of that money (unlikely) - the costs to get to that point will almost certainly be greater then any ‘royalties’ he’d get (which is contingent on the basis’ of if there are any royalties, if he’s owed any, and how much if so).
      He’s not ‘owed’ anything,
      and why did he wait 17 years he believes he’s been cheated lol?
      Any money that would be paid to him wouldn’t be his money anyway, it would be OUR and MY money. The BBC is funded through households that pay the license fee, which is almost obligatory and universally paid, such as mine for example. What did he do to earn or deserve any money?

      He seems like a good bloke. But I don't get this "he gave great answers" stuff...he was asked if the verdict was a surprise. He could have said yes or no and both would be acceptable. He said the verdict was a,surprise on him. In broken English. He was then asked if he thought more people would Download. Again a simple yes or no awnser again he replied in broken English. I'm assuming that's part of the reason he ended up in the wrong interview.

      @@billdoor3140 Yeah, you're right, but still, this was sweet! He kept calm, did not panic, and answered in a calm, polite, and quite professional way! Which makes this whole mistake really adorable! The questions were quite simple, but frankly I'm not sure if anyone would have been able to keep his/her calm and answer them without getting nervous or panic. Guy kept his calm and handled it like a pro!

The fact that I've now learned that he didn't get the job, after he adapted incredibly to a high pressured situation, and didn't disgrace the ineptitude of the BBC on live tv is astonishing. I hope Guy is doing well right now!
