The Big Bumper Thread of Interviews and Chat Show Clips

[DanaC]

Does what it says on the tin...

Put your interview (and comicon panels etc.) clips here if you want to separate them from the other tv show threads.

I'll open things up with Jonathon Ross interviewing Benedict Cumberbatch (2011):

For Sundae:

Mark Gatiss interview from 2006, discussing his novels and the writing process:




Up until quite recently, we had a professor in our school who spoke just like Gatiss. He's gone off to Australia now, but he was a really lovely man to work with.

[Sundae]

I think all the Gents have lovely voices.
And immediately recognisable to me from hours spent listening to the commentaries, especially when I was too depressed and anxious to even look at the television.

Thanks, chick.

[DanaC]

Oh they do. But there's something so gentle and graceful about Gatiss.

Nice little interview with Andrew Lincoln of Walking Dead fame:

[DanaC]

Noel Fielding:

[Sundae]

Hang on, Andrew Lincoln of Teachers fame?
That's how I know him

Eating up the interviews, thanks.

[DanaC]

Yup that's the fellah:-) he was also Egg in This Life

[Clodfobble]

WOW.

I had no idea Andrew Lincoln (Clutterbuck?!) was from the UK. Watching that interview was a trip. Thanks for posting it.

First five mins is a fairly rambling and chaotic intro, but the interview itself is awesome. Richard Herring's award winning Leicester Square Theatre Podcast runs weekly - used to air for free as an audio podcast and you could pay a small amount to download the full filmed version. He's had some excellent guests and the interviews range from silly to serious. Stephen Fry, in his interview, famously admitted to a suicide attempt the previous year.

Here's an excellent and really in depth interview with Ben Goldacre, on bad science, big pharma, use and misue of statistics in public policy making etc:

Lovely interview with John Oliver:

[DanaC]

Man, I barely bother with tv chat shows now. John Oliver, sometimes. I used to quite like the Daily Show interviews. Mostly though it's all podcasts and made for web interviews that impress me.i've been particularly enjoying interviews with tv writers and directors , showrunners and so on.


A really good interview with Damon Lindelof from The Verge:



I am loving the Kevin Pollak Chat Show. Really in-depth long-form interviews.

This is another Lindelof interview and is one of my favourites from the KPCS archives (personally I am not much into the rambling 20 minute intro and just scoot straight to the guest):

Shows you might enjoy: Showrunners (a documentary) and The Writers Room (a half-season TV show.)

Missed this when you posted it :p

I've seen the documentary, Sgowrunners - watched it a few months ago - it was fascinating! There was also a really good Q&A with the makers.

I've seen some of the Writers Room - haven't been able to find all of them to stream. Again, really interesting.

This was a really good interview from February.

Still pains me somewhat that the Labour Party voted this guy's younger, gawkier, and least-likely-to-hold-any-position-of leadership, brother to lead the party instead of him.

They might have won the election.
