村中璃子氏には申し訳ないけど、笑ってしまいました。
BBC、村中璃子氏にインタビューしているつもりで、ベトナムの映画製作者にインタビューしようとしてしまったようです。
間違えられた、Trinhさんもお気の毒。

BBC Woman's Hour interviews wrong person after mixing up Japanese doctor and Vietnamese film-maker
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/01/bbc-womans-hour-interviews-wrong-person-mixing-japanese-doctor/
One is a Japanese doctor acclaimed for her work promoting the safety of the HPV vaccine. The other is a Vietnamese film-maker, in Britain for the opening of her retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
Unfortunately, staff at BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour failed to tell the difference between Dr Riko Muranaka and Trinh T Minh-ha.
Cue an excruciating exchange on live radio, in which an oblivious Jenni Murray set about interviewing the wrong person.
After an introduction explaining that Dr Muranaka is the recipient of this year’s John Maddox Prize for promoting science on a matter of public interest, Murray turned to her guest. “Riko, why did you pursue this subject?”
There followed a very long pause.
Murray, a tiny note of anxiety in her voice, tried again. “Why did you pursue this subject?”
“Which subject are you pointing to?” asked a perplexed Trinh.
“The subject of the HPV vaccine. The 20 articles that you wrote on it,” Murray said, clearly wondering why the doctor, journalist and lecturer at Kyoto University School of Medicine was being so obtuse.
“It’s not me,” came the reply.
“I’m sorry?”
“It’s not me,” Trinh repeated, with a nervous laugh. “I guess you got the wrong speaker.”
“You are Dr Riko Muranaka?” said Murray. And then, as the terrible realisation dawned: “You’re not Dr Riko Muranaka...”
“I’m Trinh T Minh-ha, the film-maker,” said Trinh.
東洋人だからインタビュアー＆スタッフには同じに見えてしまって間違えられたのか。それとも、村中璃子氏のプロフィール（医師として）が見つからず顔写真も確認ができなかったせいで、BBCスタッフが混乱したとか？
Riko Muranakaという医師はいませんからね。
言うまでもないですが、彼女の本名は「中村理子」。「村中璃子という名の医師」というのは存在しないんじゃないでしょうか。
