It is always interesting to listen to Oliver, but not so to the interviewer who rambled rather than ask questions and was also feeding some of the answers, |

Have to agree, I found the interview more than a bit irritating. Thought Oliver showed a significant amount of patience considering the constant interruptions.

The interviewer obviously went to the piers Morgan school of interviewing, drown out the interviewee with your own voice as much as possible. |

I perceive this is a common modern interviewing technique.
Too many journalists want to be later day John Humphrys.
I prefer the Larry King school of interviewing - let your guest speak.

Michael Parkinson was the master, just allowed his guests to talk, occasionally steering the conversation. For me Jonathan Ross was the first British "personality" host where it was a vehicle for his own ego. Now it seems they're all like it. |

Who was the other guy from that time who did a similar programme to Parkinson? I much preferred him, Parky was too smarmy for me. Unfortunately he died young, so hardly anyone seems to remember him. Including me! My memory is totally fucked these days. It must be all the drugs... |

My pet aversion is the BBC sports interviewers who have been coached to use open questions, especially the formula "How (emotion) are you to have (won/lost/drawn) that? Clare Balding is the prime offender but they all do it and it's painful.
