Thanks, Michael. At the risk of blowing one’s own trumpet, it was me. I knew there’d be some media interest around the 20th anniversary, and so I planned the publication of our book - “The Wrong Guy” - to come out at the same time. And after 25 years as a journalist, I know who to call (and if I don’t, I know people who do, and I’m v grateful to all of them). Happy to chat to discuss in more detail. Did I mention the book’s out now? 🙈 https://t.co/KJbOBaAU9L
Think you know this story? See the film and think again…
Laura Bayston gives a performance for the ages as Kate McCann. I’m incredibly proud to have written this film.
‘Under Suspicion: Kate McCann’
See it 9pm Wednesday 20th @channel5_tv@AllAboutOrchard

Wednesday 20th May - @channel5_tv
9pm - ‘Under Suspicion: Kate McCann’
Okay. I admit it. It was me wot done it: I was the producer who - almost 20 years ago - accidentally picked up Guy Goma - @RealWrongGuy - from the wrong reception area at BBC TV Centre and put him on air. Now I’ve written a book about it, along with Goma.
“The Wrong Guy: the inside story of TV’s greatest cock-up” is a never-before-told, insider’s account of how a death-defying escape from civil war-wracked Congo put Guy on the path to a job interview at the @BBC - and 15 minutes of improbable fame that has endured for two decades.
Delighted to say @NickPisa at the @DailyMail has written about the book (and Guy and me) describing it as a “hilarious account…telling in fine detail the buildup and the aftermath of what became television history.”
The book is already available for pre-order. Do please take the plunge and buy it.

If you are wondering what happened to episode three of my ‘Shedload…’ series last night: it was postponed out of respect to Will Daws, co-founder of Plum Pictures, who
produced the show. He died suddenly on Monday evening.
You will meet him in the episode when it airs. Some of you will remember him from Manlab and Oh Cook as well. A great bloke and a great mate. Here we are comparing shirts on the set of The Reassembler. I’m the awkward looking one.

It's #Scandinavia ep3 this Sunday night - #Sweden and #Denmark ... for me it was one of the most interesting progs I've ever filmed. See what you think - on @BBCTwo and @BBCiPlayer.

With a world of thanks always to the brilliant team who made it possible - @nigelsleftboot, Chris and @TheGardenTV
Quick tease for the #Scandinavia series starting tonight, @BBCTwo and @BBCiPlayer at 9pm.
I think for me it’s one of the most interesting journeys I’ve undertaken. The Scandis and the Nordics - Denmark, Sweden, Norway + Finland & Iceland, are so close to us, geographically, culturally, historically, and we really don’t know enough or talk enough about life there.
Huge thanks to the amazing team who planned it, worked on it, filmed it, directed, produced, edited, SP’ed, Exec’ed and commissioned it - especially all at @TheGardenTV
