Peter Sellers Interview 1974 PART 1

[haimstelken]

I dont know why but he reminds me of Robin Williams a bit...

[jackiescanlon]

Peter was BRILLIANT and INSANE... that's why I LOVE him!

[itsasonny]

Where's part one :-) this is epic

[charms71]

A Jew [P. Sellers] wearing a Nazi uniform? lol

[SlackerSlayer]

@charms71 They are they only ones that are into nazi porn.

[SculptedINflesh]

we share a birthday and both drummers R.I.P fellow Virgo...

[starquant]

@SamuelSeagoon In what sense?, did they rob a Bank?, or perhaps Fuck the neighbors kids, maybe these Women ganged raped and Mutilated Corpses... All double standards. I suppose in your eyes a Woman deserves a good beating if she sneezes in Public (That's generally how you Subjugate a Female).

[starquant]

@KievanTiger I invite you to watch "The life and death of Peter Sellers". It was released in 2004 and starred Geoffrey Rush and Charlize Theron. It showed a very watered down version of his attitude towards Women. Very watered down indeed. I think Britt Ekland would be the greatest source, and she played it cool for the movie. I am not going to invite more sources because that would involve people that I know that knew this WANKER personally and I'm not going to do that in a public forum.

[f4ust85]

its unbelievable how much he aged in those few years afterwards

[starquant]

@KievanTiger no its not.... once again do your homework, and don't blame a youtuber for telling the truth.

[starquant]

@KievanTiger Do yours you Idiot !. It's a well known fact.

[NiAlBu]

I'm 17 seconds old, and I love the Beatles. All those bright colors, you see.

By the way, life begins at conception.

[Manonnx345]

@NiAlBu

You're writing this from the womb?

[NiAlBu]

@Manonnx345

What? You're not?

[starquant]

Funny how Parkinson didn't interview him on why he hated Females and beat the crap out of all his wives?. This piece of SHIT should have never been allowed to breathe, let alone earn a pay check. So glad your gone Peter... hope your in Afghanistan with all the other Misogynists.

[ahemcoughaaargh]

its so courageous attacking a 5 year old!

[MannySteinerBIeeky]

i thought peter sellers was funny centuries before he was born, in a previous life.

[TheLENNON25]

Love the song at 6:06, anyone got a clue what it is

[wreyoG]

my man Petah Sellaz!

[MrTimeControl]

Sorry to all those that love him, but he was a horrible man.

[mrgb46]

@MrTimeControl was he horrible to you? I doubt it..He was cruel and disrespectful to others,but he wasn't that way all the time.He wasn't perfect..

[MannySteinerBIeeky]

@MrTimeControl - so your camp is claiming it's his fault all the timebending then?

[starquant]

@MrTimeControl yes he was.... that's why no one remembers him. He has gone the way of the dodo bird, just Like Dudley Moore and Mel Gibson.

[laosandburma]

I'm a 4 hour old sperm cell and love all the following: Peter Cellers, Fertiliza Minelli, Gene Wilder, Christopher Conceives, Truman Zygote, Oliver Seed, Seman Spielburg, Preg Norman, Organic Faldo, Yoko Chromo, Roger me moore, Squirt Reynolds, Erect Clapton, Born Connery, Ball Mccartney, ET the extra testicle......

[casualchauncey]

im in the womb and already have the entire back catalouge of david bowie and enjoy the musings of oscar wilde

[whitee1992]

i haven't even been born yet and peter sellers is great!

[khasab]

I'm only 3 and I love Elvis

[MegaGrendizer]

one of the greatest comdians ever lived

[karenharrani]

soooo SEXY!!!

[robbdarren]

Gifted but clearly nuts.

[mrbd127]

I once heard an interview from the BBC in which Sellers interviewed himself posing as Mr. Bialagi, the general manager of a bus-and-truck company performing the native version of My Fair Lady in India. Does anyone know of this and where it may be?

[89Markus98]

I suppose you'll have a great laugh when someone fall down the stairs.

[Kushami17]

I honestly think he's very lame.

[msmoo1968]

@Kushami17 i respectfully suggest you find more on peter before you call him lame

[Kushami17]

@msmoo1968 I watched the Pink Panther. And I watched the Life and Death of Peter Sellers. I also read about him on wikipedia. They all suggested to me the same thing. That he was a disturbed, unfunny man.

[anonUK]

@Kushami17

He once said- to Kermit the Frog, mind you- "There used to be a me, but I had it surgically removed."

That's one way to relate to the kids, I suppose.

watch?v=zSJc72OC7Dg

[agoodud]

People watch Johnathan Ross...this is an effortless interview. Pure gold

[SamLeChiq]

GENIUS!! Pure Genius.

[RMJ1984]

Such amazing actor, its a real shame he had so many personal issues :( he could have done so much more had he not died. But again as they same, some people dont change.

[shaunhailey1]

brilliant!

[danitza83]

Amaising glasses !

[sophandtheponies]

i love peter sellers

he is amazing

love the pink panther, i have them all on dvd,

he is soo funny, i laugh just looking st the faces he pulls and the accents

:)

x

[rotano]

the man is beyond genius

[neilo86]

The nazi routine of the start is from The Producers no?

[Dalek1230]

@neilo86 yes

[indiemen]

i'm only 5 and i love peter sellers and hate justin bieber

[starquant]

@indiemen Great spelling for a five year old.... don't make FAKE posts.

[blutobelushi]

Perhaps the greatest comic genius ever. He died very young.He was one of a kind.A true genius.

[forbiddenvalley]

John Lennon and Peter were kindred souls!!!

[starquant]

@forbiddenvalley utter nonsense and pure crap... don't Mention John Lennon's name with this idiots/ WANKER in a sentence.

[locolapapa]

Seeing Sellers in bellbottoms changed my life

[consman22]

this is most relax interview i have seen peter seller has done

[rubbersoul420]

how come whenever a young person is watching old stuff they're so proud of themselves they have to say how old they are. "I'm only 19 1/2 and i love smokey robinson..." yeah yeah great

[randomist92]

@rubbersoul420 i think its more to show that fact that this comedy will live on and isnt just loved by the people who grew up with it

[Nic01224]

@rubbersoul420 Maybe that because everyone tells us we DON'T appreciate stuff and that is your below 50 you havn't lived and can't comment on anything artistic. Well we can and we do and we will. In short, maybe where sick of being stereotyped as brainless idiots. I'm 21 so don't bother talking down to me.

[rubbersoul420]

@Nic01224 couldn't resist throwing your age in there could you, congratulations on being so well educated at such a tender age.

[Nic01224]

@rubbersoul420 Maybe its because younger people are so sterotyped! In short-if we act young and our age, you don't like it and you'll complain and then when we actually appreciate other stuff you criticise us for appreciating it. Arn't you a peice of work saying such nasty things? Its not pride in themselves, its appreciating the artist, do you get that? Then again, you have to wonder about your mindset posting such a mean spirited, pointless, dull peice of rhetoric, I've made it interesting.

[UBIQUEROL]

@rubbersoul420

HI IM 12 AND WHAT IS THIS

[pato0231]

Miss Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan dearly

[webaroos]

A comedic genius and a sad character, could not live his own life so lived through his characters. Died at the age 54, a real loss of a unique character.

[MrDarkbloom]

It's incredible how much his voice changes in this interview. He really was like a sponge for accents...

[pickyantivirus]

Started watching the pink panther movies with him in it. amazing actor funny even now in 2010 and they were made in the 60's-70's. i find 80's music amazing and i enjoy most older films. i have seen and own all carry on movies and Sid James is another legend i unfortunately didn't meet..

[MINIHermanator]

I love peter sellers one of the greatest charicter actors in history

[peterblack70]

He had his faults, but he was, and still is, IMO, the King of Comedy. Interesting to note his singing voice is close to John Lennon's when Lennon himself was such a huge fan of Sellers.

[zuhairbk]

Compare Robin Williams with Peter Sellers.

[beowulf20062006]

Jay Leno must have bought his denim shirt and jeans from Sellers garage sale.

[cassianto]

Peter Sellers.....you just dont get comedians like this anymore, a cleache i know, but it is true. the likes of *...... for example are not fit enough to wipe his arse. It is sad that this type of comic genius is now long gone never to be repeated.

*Micheal McIntyre......sorry but his name was not fit enough to have even have been in the same sentance as this great performer!!!!!

[ChicagoDreamer5]

Marvelous! I'm such a fan of this great, great man. So wonderful to see this, as we in the States didn't have an opportunity to watch it. Thank you so much!!

[Claire3007]

genius.pure genius 

[PAULFC93]

The guy was ahead of his time

[honeyzuckled]

Oneword.... genius!

[brilleaben]

That us a quite ukele-like banjo....

[odsall]

He really is overated isnt he. Total arse of a person, the way he treated his kids was shocking. Not even that funny, bit like having teeth pulled.

[JazReviews]

@odsall No way is he overated you complete idiot of a person.

[odsall]

@JazReviews Just my opinion, now go and take that BIG chill pill, you muppet!!!

[JazReviews]

@odsall You fewl

[odsall]

@JazReviews I take it literacy isnt your strong point!!!!

[JazReviews]

@odsall Do Not Taaake that tonne with me Missue

[marinos1977]

He was a funny fucker but a big cunt

[SIRSMITH08]

the sad clown !

[lexo30]

That's eerie how Sellers's voice starts out in the purest clipped RP when he's talking about being a drummer, but when he's talking about going to Yorkshire his voice suddenly goes Northern, and then when he changes the subject it goes back to RP again.

[brabon1]

why is sellers doing the scene from the producers?

[WormYourHonor64]

@brabon1 He apparently loved the movie; he was the reason that it got off the ground.

[engineroomapocalypse]

Amazing stuff

[GanjaStuPipesUp]

What a bastard!

[aewd1980]

inspite of the unique comic talents that peter sellers possessed, he was not the easiest man to get along with as he himself supposedly pointed out. interviews like this one from 1974, simply do not show the real man. perhaps no interview could ever show the real man that was peter sellers.

[yaywhewclips242]

sellers is a comedy genius NEVER EVER broke character. concur with smoke, in Dr. strangelove he played a madman and the American president so beautifully.

[TheodorBjork]

Is it awful that I don't fint Sellers funny? (RIP)

[nelsano3]

Peter Sellers was a real one off, and looking at people like Will Ferrell and Mike Myers hes been a real influence on their work, Id say he was an original and ahead of his time too. Parkinson tries hard to get the real man and i think at times he does here but i sense Sellers needed to hide behind his characters and he was a little uncomfortable in his own skin. something that made him interesting and added a depth to his work, something that i dont think is there in Ferrell or Myers work...

[DeepAbsentia]

Like he used to say, his self was clearly surgically removed. I`ve never seen better impersonations regarding accent techniques.

[avisionofsorrow]

What is extra sad is that you couldn't do the german sketch at the start on today's tv. PC madness.

[izaprod]

I just watched "Being There", wow what an amazing talent! Thank you so much for posting!!!

[Hastaj00]

@izaprod you must watch Dr. Strangelove.

[izaprod]

@Hastaj00 Already did!!! ;-)

[jsingleton03]

I was quite impressed that parkinson's bass player was able follow sellers' banjo playing on first listen.

[dpthomas37]

Listen to Parkinson says at 2:37. I'm just sayin...........kinda gay.

[itsallinallston]

It's crazy how Sellers, Elvis Costello and John Lennon all sort of look alike!

[jimmyadcock]

@itsallinallston yea ur right, more like lennon i reckon, kinda crazy they died in the same year aswell

[logans105]

the best comic mind ever - ajb

[misayumi]

seeing this is the same as very sad and very uplifting. when i see peter i always saw a genius that all his life was affected by the fear of failure to being not one. r.i.p mister sellers

[kgooner]

Was allowed to watch Parkinson as a treat on Saturday night's... As a kid I thought this what was TV was like ... and would be so in the future... How wrong I was... Technically, tv today, is amazing.. content wise, it's appalling... Thanks, Endekanisos, for some lovely memories of Peter Sellers, my Dad and happier, simpler times...

[Escargency2008]

Gestroppo.....

[CarbonTV1]

Maybe I missed the context, but that whole Hitler schtick at the beginning was lifted directly from Mel Brooks' The Producers.

[As50rs25cls]

He makes me laugh - it's got to be your era just like Blazing Saddles - you've got to bit a bit crazy yourself to get it!!!

[Rarab2]

Haha his Peter Lorre is great.

[mathewjohn5174]

totally not funny

[my1990ful]

great comedian

[suddenchad]

He was sooo talented. I thought he was a hottie too. Loved all his straight and comedy work.

[roachy333]

I think he had too much talent...and maybe this was part of the problem.

Personally I think he was one of the greatest actors that ever lived and that's both comedy and straight.

[capricious71]

Check out the Parkinson interview with Richard Burton as well.

[capricious71]

We just don't STARS like Peter Sellers anymore. Lots of "celebs" but where are the characters, the talent these days?

Parkinson interviewed pretty much all the great ones. I think he retired at the right time. He had one of the best jobs in the world.

[viewer949]

Daneil Day Lewis is a fantastic talent. Very wide range.

[herbal1971]

He certainly is a good actor. Hardly, a great interview. What I mean is, where are the raconteurs. Hollywood was full of people that weren't just good actors, they were interesting when interviewed. I think that era ended a while ago. You only have to watch Parkinson to who fits the category and who doesn't.

[deLimitedProductions]

Later in this interview, when Sellers begins to settle down, he reminds me so much of John Lennon. At times, he even looks like John!

[daisyheyes]

Peter Sellers is a genius! I'm 19 years old and I've seen him in all the Pink Panther movies and he's awesome!

R.I.P Peter Sellers

[SuperSmokey89]

im 20 years old and i love peter sellers. dr strangelove is one of the best films ever made. the guy was clearly a genius.

[martinnolan88]

@SuperSmokey89 if you are 20 and you like peter sellers you are clearly awesome.

[SuperSmokey89]

@martinnolan88 Ha! why thank you kind sir

[alizarin89]

@SuperSmokey89 I hear you, pal! I'm 21 and I can't get enough of Sellers. Comedic genius. You should check out Spike Milligan too; they both have a similar style of humour.

[strawberrypie75]

@alizarin89 + SuperSmokey89 Don't worry, you're not alone on that, buddies! I'm 16 and I'm dying here! Spike's awesome too, isn't he? And the goon show.... =D <3

[KarloR27]

He's excellent at impressions! he so had a voice for characters.

[emoviebuff87]

thank you!! this was originally deleted. anyway, he was a very gifted actor. the only one to be nominated for best actor for playing multiple characters in the same film.

[dancingdiplodocus]

@emoviebuff87 that is pretty cool. someone else under forty who actually knows who peter sellers is.

[mortysand]

Doing Mel Brooks at the start.

[Iminthecarsi]

Genius

[SonOfGrieves]

Great stuff.

[loverlybird]

thank you so much for putting these back up!

[robg71]

Great, Thankyou for posting these again,

[Delacroixet]

Thanks for posting these again!
