And it's not like the BBC will have made much, if any, money from it. Viral clips, especially back then, go viral because other people have posted it - and nowadays most of the "outrageous" "shocking" "unbelievable" clip shows pick it up from YouTube rather than go to the source. The BBC won't have even made £250 from You've Been Framed for it.

And any BBC employee worth their employment would have got a contributor release form signed ……
(They are bbc log in only at
www.bbc.co.uk )
But you “assign all rights in your contribution …. Worldwide in perpetuity …. in all media known now or in the future ,”
And I cannot see the BBC making any money from the distribution of the interview,

This is probably a reference to the famous Guy Goma/Kewney case so no, the BBC wouldn't ask a job candidate to sign a release form.
A better source than @Jaggy2409 can be found here...
www.theguardian.com
but ultimately this is just an advert for a podcast that Mr Goma is on. The "story" is
[*]He
plans to sue the BBC.
[*]He
believes he should earn a share of the royalties.
[*]He is
considering writing a book.
There is nothing here.

What I wrote was aimed at the employees responsible - the AP / reporter for the Guy Kewney item and or whoever collected Guy Goma

Remember he signed a movie deal in 2006. Still waiting for that too.

The biggest version of this video appears to be on the BBC's own YouTube channel with 5.3m views in 7 years. I thought it would be bigger.

It was a story SkyNews was running.

Here’s an interesting bulletin from 4 November 1995, the night Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. However when the bulletin started he was still reported as alive, but we have the situation of the News of his death being reported after the Weather and Lottery result.

I believe that the BBC at the time (and possibly still do) require either:
[*]their own evidence of an event by a correspondent, or
[*]two separate external sources before they confirm news of such events, or
[*]an official announcement, especially of a death.
Perhaps they were waiting for one of those to occur which caused the delay announcing the death.
Good find though, nwtv2003. It was an interesting bulletin.

Jeremy Bowen already said during the bulletin that there were rumours that he'd died, before saying they weren't confirmed.
