After watching countless classic interviews from these legends of old, I suddenly find a strange feeling of despair encircling me, brought on by the realisation that television has become dumbed down much much further than I could ever have anticipated. British broadcasting is now excessively commercial, and it suffers tragically.

@RichardElden I agree with most of your statement but he was definitely not talentless. He oozed a sort of unique kind of Heathcliffe-like (as in Wuthering Heights) moody smoldering charisma in his earlier films. Whether nepotism was involved who knows but he certainly had a screen presence.
A really nice interview with Oliver Reed. no matter what he says I seem to think there is something else underlying in what he says. There is something about him more than what I see at face value. A thoroughly interesting man, I love him.
Oliver Reed is one of the true legends in film history, gifted, difficult and contradictory. That is what life is all about. It doesn't make sense to condemning him for his alcohol problems. Some people make so high moral demands on people of public life. But the same people can't fullfill this demands. I call this people selfrightous. Oliver was a great actor, not always a "gentleman", but a charismatic and interesting personality.
@RichardElden .....AND THAT Ricky Split Tongue , will come back to haunt your fat mother. Get a job before you scrawl prose to me you cretin. Generally, I don't correspond with the unemployed but, for you I'll try to elucidate a little common sense into your hum drum existence, simpleton.
@RichardElden I cant believe you are STILL at it. Do you come home from work, log in the the accounts that havent been banned like PeterFirthFan, your main account and just troll? seriously? I would insult you, but it's probably a crime to offend down syndrome sufferers.
@19rude87 : Your so out of date, with a stranger's shit on the end of your bent cock, your not worth debating jack shit with! No do one kid, your mothers wants the room to a suck a sailor off for £10.
@TheLordMilton Great, that's great news altogether, who cares about me, i'm not on the TV, its not my job to be liked by anybody, and that includes you , or any other fool, yet it still does not negate the fact that parkinson is shit head
@willzer808 ...Do you imbibe often on bleach? I ask as you write as though the gurgle is pity fully painful. Which of course I fervently hope is the case you stupid poverty struck cretin.
@willzer808 ...Dear wilting Willzer, is there any beginnings to your talent? Or has the demon drink devoided you of a passing factual memory? Do not feel shame as the benign face you contort to many, has tell tale signs of deceit. Keep doing the Cliff impersonations but, don't be surprised to see the toes of the recipients curl up. The words of the gay, Monty Montgomery, spring to mind, ' Bring me another boy , this one's damaged.'
@TheLordMilton Uncle Monty...last time he was here...he was with his son.. No my mind is not devoid of such memories. I'm just trying to be civil. Of course I would be tempted to respond with some kind of caustic retaliative mulch, but I decided to be something more than a terrible cunt. I'm not from London you know. I don't care where yer from. You'll have to see me son. He runs this farm. You can't miss him - his leg is bound in polythene
@willzer: Dear Wet Wilting Wank Worming Willzer, are you of Germanic decent? Montgomery has also drank at your table? What an un-interesting time that must have been for the old knob jockey. One wonders why you set yourself such low standards which you fail to live up to? Is it your age, halitosis, hemorrhoidal stains on your work-wear or the simple fact you think all you imagine is of the truth? So many questions for a tedious pathological liar. Pray, lay down and masticate fool. Choking helps.
@willzer808 .....Wilting Wank Stain, what a liar you are and so full of shit you could open your own manure factory for potty trained chimps. The fact Parkinson is the most renowned interviewer ever appears to have passed your single brain cell by. Listen up fat arse, go fuck yourself as your a clown no one laughs at. Now sup up and p[iss yourself daft, you won't have far to go: Idiot.
@TheLordMilton The fact the Parkinson is the most renowned interviewer ever shows up how stupid people are at evaluating things correctly, and that includes you, my good sir, my good thick sir. Parkinson is a pain in the arse, just as you are an equal pain in the arse. You should come with a bottle of cream that you can hand to people, just so they can hack the dull pain you transfer to those that you attempt to project your stupidity onto. You are a dullard, and Parkinson is an affected fool
WOW!!! this really needed to be uploaded, thanks for this interview. Whenever some kid out there see's Ollie in one of his great movie roles, then they can check him out on here. Wonderful...
This perennially inebriated disputatious lothario is my favorite actor of all time. Oliver Reed was one of a kind and his likes will never come this way again.
He was definitely a unique and often courageous individual. For example, he had the guts to do a totally naked wrestling scene in the 1970 film "Women In Love".
wow, he called him Cassius Clay....interesting. Nothing to do with the rest of the interview, of course, but its rare for anyone to call Muhammad Ali by this name
What a character Oliver Reed was. A closet intellectual even. Grossly underestimated in my opinion. He is dismissed by many out of hand for his boozing but there was so much more to him than that. Folks should read Evil Spirits to get more of an idea what he was truly like. A real man, a legend, a class actor and a not one who gave a monkeys about being politically correct. What a breath of fresh air!! He called Mickey Spillane out wonderfully without being too insulting and what a gentleman!
In this clip Mr Reed is erudite, lucid and able to deliver a punch without resorting to drink or his hands. For me, this shows what a charismatic and powerful personality he had. It is a GREAT shame that he ended up an alcholic. Only a fellow alcoholic would have enjoyed Mr Reed's drunken antics. I will try to remember him as the dark and brooding Bill Sykes and this complex but amazing gentleman on the Parkinson show.
@Korea4Me Burton, O'toole, Harris, Marvin and most of the same generation would technically be labelled alcoholics today. If you are seen more than once a week with a drink in your hand you're having a "crisis". Actors need to grow balls.
No, I will remember him as the hellraiser who made the bleak monotony of life interesting. I drank with him a few years back and he was an absolutely awesome partier. You never knew what he was going to do, punch you in the face, handstand on the bar, armwrestle. THAT is Ollie, not a shy, sober man like everyone else in the entire industry.
He lived life how he wanted to, died how he wanted...what is there to complain about?
Oliver Reed was a very available man, social, loved his adoring public as much as they loved him and always made time for them. So social was he that his regular "Publics" are even listed on many online sites (Mr. Reed was not a private room drinker)
The night of his death he arm wrestled six sailors in a bar, and won.
I think, judging from your response to Falstaff6, that your ignorance about Mr. Reed's social practices has made you look like a cunt.
@lesterclaypool1 ...oh dear a member of the proletariat utters forth an expletive. Listen up idiot, I knew Ollie very well and the twat writing he drank with him did not. Now should you wish to reply swill your mouth out with some dimebar. I find your ilk so tiresome and almost memorably unemployable.
@lesterclaypool1 ...I do not support or cavort with fools, and you qualify as a scumbag. Albeit, with the ugliest testis man has ever seen. Now go fix the bucket.
@TheLordMilton how did you catch me out? ring them up if you want: 02392822466. Yeah, there you go fucking cunt. Ring them, see what they say. Got me did you? Got me what?
@PortsmouthNoir ...I do not have to ring them you sweaty oaf as I know Ollie hated hotels and indeed laughed out loud at gormless twats such as thee fawning over him, now piss off you fanciful liar.
@TheLordMilton the fact he didnt like hotels is complete shit. He had to stay in them when he was working, and the Queens Hotel is infamous for not only he, but Harris and O'Toole too. Try doing a bit of research you jealous, ignorant fuck. You represent the utter shit of modern society. The internet troll. What a fucking existence you have.
@Falstaff6 You DRANK with Oliver Reed?! You must literally be fucking Falstaff and it must've been more than a few years back. And more importantly, how are you still alive?!!?! Tell us some Oliver Reed stories.
whats happened to all of richardEldons comments in this video? they have seemed to have disappeared? anyone else see them?
