BEEB WANTED TO QUIZ DEAD STAR
From Daily Record - 01/04/2005 (129 words) By Eva Simpson

A BUNGLING BBC researcher tried to get an interview with reggae legend Bob Marley - 24 years after his death.
She wrote to the Bob Marley Foundation asking if they could arrange for the Jamaican to appear on a BBC2 documentary, No Woman No Cry.


Current affairs researcher Paysley Ross said it would 'only involve Bob Marley spending one or two days with us', adding: 'The story would only work with some participation from Bob Marley himself.'


Marley died in 1981, aged just 36.
Last night, a Marley family source said: 'We didn't think there was anyone on the planet who didn't realise that Bob passed away years ago.'


A BBC spokesman said: 'This is not an April Fool. We are very embarrassed.'

According to a co-worker of Ms. Ross, seems she is headed to LA for a reporting job by week's end. Must be nice.
