Peter Sellers: a very talented man, but a nightmare in most other respects. His clairvoyant Maurice Woodruff was used by others to coerce Sellers, who treated his wives appallingly.
His children regarded him as a dreadful father; perpetually absent and moving from one obsessional relationship to another.
But a good TV interviewee!

Just talking to every day people can reveal so much about a person. |

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on George Best. He was a deeply unpleasant man who was abusive to his wives and abusive to his son too. |

I think you'll find that most people in the spotlight have mental health issues, addictions and are on the spectrum somewhere along the line.
Acting, singing, writing, painting or being creative is what helps them focus and keep some kind of balance.
This is why their interviews are interesting. They don't lead 'normal' lives, but find other ways of dealing with living theirs.
Most people live vicariously through people who are in the public eye and wonder what its like to be in that position.
They are under the watchful gaze of the media and public, so a hundred good deeds will be ignored, but one bad occurance will be the action they are judged on.
Bad press sells papers.
Behaving badly gives the papers ammunition.
Instead of the public or media helping the 'stars' they slowly destroy them.

Just watched it and woke a snoring Jane up with my laughter "
Just rewatched it myself, the other thing I like is that Parkie just lets him do it, no interruptions, Freddie even has his back to him as he’s talking to Ali.
A modern interviewer has to be a character themselves but Parkie always allowed his guests to be themselves it was always about them not himself.
That’s why we get this wonderful clip and Billy Connolly bike story as classic clips. |
