Yes, he did look well, have to say that I am a fan of "wossy" meself.

me too - although he was genuinely out of his depth a little bit, big movie stars etc he happily takes down a peg or two, but with the great man he didnt really know what to do.

It was great to hear his views on religion (on a mainstream show) after the Darwin programs, tricky business very tidily dealt with.
respect is due.
imo.

I like Ross. I don't agree with everything he says or does but he can be entertaining and was excellent on "They Think It's All Over".

Different strokes for different folks.

I'll second that!

I'll also agree with Ron that JR was often very funny on They Think It's All Over, although I do think he has taken his "laddish" persona a bit too far since then. And I've yet to meet anyone who thinks he's worth £16 million.

I wonder what Sir David thought about appearing on the show. He certainly seemed quite comfortable but I can't help thinking it's a shame there are no serious interview programmes on these days.

I agree with H Monkey that it was brave to approach the religion subject and it was answered well, this is what i was alluding to in an earlier post.

As for a serious interview programmes, Piers Morgan is certainly putting on a good series of interview programmes. Whilst Piers clearly plays to the cameras he is pretty searching with his interview techniques and he is certainly well prepared. As I write I am watching his interview with Richard Branson and it is clear that Piers is pushing RB to react. However it has been an interesting interview that allows the viewer an intimate understanding of Bransons life story.

I caught the Richard Branson interview, I thought it very interesting.
