A good 45min of terrestrial TV. Something of a rarity these days.
I do think Amol Rajan is a very good interviewer. Asks open questions and listens to the answers. It seems a simple method, but one that very few seem to follow.
Seems like he’s actually interested in what they have to say. I do think Amol Rajan is a very good interviewer. Asks open questions and listens to the answers. It seems a simple method, but one that very few seem to follow.
Broadcast journalists generally aim to get a good quote, or catch the person out with a ‘gotcha’ moment.
A rather tenuous link but a good friend from school and college married one of her and John thaws daughters, the wedding and reception was at their house in the Cotswolds. Spoke to her a few times during the day and evening after a few glasses of wine and she was just a very warm and engaging lady who had a lot of time for the rough lot friends of her new son in law. It was a great party!!
Amol Rajan is great: he clearly does a lot of research. He uses notes during the interview, but in a very relaxed and natural way.
Sheila Hancock is brilliant, and a wonderful role model for my daughters and their generation. She has a remarkable determination and drive, whilst also being caring and hilarious at the same time.

It was good and the stuff about class/accent particularly interesting. Also how John Thaw declared undying love for her.
On accents it always amuses me when you see old documentary clips with the hilariously posh accents from the interviewers.
Just remembered that it was a shame that near the end when she was talking about her outlook on life she did go into a bit of a depressing "the state of the world today" thing. Not uncommon amongst elderly people but sad when they are people that grew up in the second world war so have presumably seen much worse than we have now.
