  • love this guy!!!

  • worst...

    interviewers...

    ever!

  • Wow.. How dumb was this Iview.. ? wow.. Good for Spiner though..

  • Its mission to explore other galaxies?? Oy.

  • What a dumb interview for such a great guy!

  • That was painful. Brent, come to my room. I'll make it up to you.

  • These interviewers have actually made me ashamed to be British. Mr Spiner, I apologise for this travesty of an interview. Also, your respect for Star Trek fans does you credit. =)

  • Brent Spiner: "Star Trek fans are more on the higher end of the IQ spectrum."

    interviewers: Inside their brains (monkeys smashing coconuts. Guy thinks of sticking his dick in her ass. She's thinking of doing her nails and is spacing out wondering where she is as borderline retarded questions pop into her brainless skull.)

  • @CheddarBob39 well said, sadly enough! They knew nothing about the man or the show, hugely disrespectful in my opinion

  • This is like the movie Idiocracy. Brent(Luke Wilsons character) has gone into the future where the morons with an incredibly low IQ are speaking to him.

  • WOW, I was never really a "TREKKIE." But holy shit these interviewers are retarded. Do a little RESEARCH before you talk to somebody. They are giving questions somebody would give a 4 year old to Brent. They should at least know the basics about the character before interviewing. WOW.

  • embarrassing and cringey interview, but brent spiner is always awesome!

  • People here are missing the point by saying the presenters are dumb.

    What we have here is a classic case of cowardice and ridicule to look cool (for perhaps promotion/other work?). It's so funny when these people interview wacky 'stars' of the moment like Kanye West when he's acting crazy & they just go along with it like clowns because he's 'cool'.

    Their raison d'etre therefore is to appear hip and they thought they could get some laughs by reinforcing a stereotype and Brent called them out.

  • Typical British television: GOD AWFUL...this has got to be one of the most unprofessional interviews I've ever seen.

  • brent spiner on big black cock interview

  • Would it kill them to just do a little research before they talk to a guest.

  • @laparka1138 it's a slow news week piece, they are all bad :(

  • "These people are not idiots!" Thank you, Mr. Spiner.

  • Brent 1 - 0 BBC

  • "...the costumes were made by the actor's mothers."

    Aaaahahahaha! For a second she thought he was serious!

  • These guys are complete Trek noobs and I am glad Spiner put them in their place here!

  • @frogambassador They weren't just noobs at Star Trek, they were noobs at being interviewers. They were total pros at being idiots though.

  • the episode of the Original series they showed was Arena.

  • god the brits are so pompous... patrick stewart was such a gift considering the much he left

  • @richie8811 Generalise much? I don't go around spouting off that Americans are loud 'n crass, or that Irish people are all Travellers. Cos that's just rude, really, ain't it. Us 'Brits' are NOT ALL pompous. Just the two pricks on the sofa interviewing Spiner. Besides, he sorted them out pretty damn quick. And a little sympathy might not go amiss too, cos we have to wake up to idiots like that on a daily basis!! :(

  • @1978rharris sorry. but the interviewers are still lazy pricks in my book

  • @richie8811 On that, you will receive NO arguments from me! Twats, the pair of 'em!!

  • @1978rharris Nobody sympathizes with you. Americans are constantly ridiculed in British media and pop culture, and among the general public. Your people are notorious for dishing it out and yet being unable to take it. If your skin is so thin that you can't take a little ribbing over the BBC's absolutely unprofessional morning show, then there really isn't much to you, is there?

  • @mjax1111 Dumbass!

  • @1978rharris Typical British wit on full display. 

  • @mjax1111 heh? There not typically British witty at all. That classic British wit died with talk show hosts years ago and is maintained by a few comedians. It's like me saying that classic brand of American apathetic black humour is on display with two random morning news hosts.... would be a slap in the face to the likes of George Carlin.

  • @mjax1111 I thank you. And it's not wit. It's called 'not rising to the bait'. And just to clarify, I, and, I'm sure, the rest of the British people can take ANY kind of ribbing from any nation. And instead of slinging comments on here, like your first one, had you asked me my opinion of the two pillocks who were doing the interview, I would have strongly agreed that they are unprofessional and obviously didn't do one jot of research before Spiner went in. But..NOO. To easy, that! Eh? ;)

  • Showing a clip from the original series? Why not play a clip from Facts of Life of Hawaii Five O? I bet Brent Spiner would like to watch a little Knight Rider while he's on their set.

  • jesus christ, a great man wasted on two mundane BBC simpletons. And a major fecking airhead!

  • LOL! Spiner owns both of them. So hard!

  • Wooo! Leeds! It's truly an honour. Moreover, I get the privilege of saying there's a decent chance I've ridden Patrick Stewart.

  • BBC News Presenters should stick to presenting the news... cos they're interview skills are hideously shit!

  • those interviewers were total british twats...

  • lol - worst interviewers ever! I love how Brent says 'I would take you both for Trekkies' - they so don't pick up on the sarcasm, it's hilarious! Go Brent!

  • "The original series costumes were made by the actors mothers"

    " Really?!"

    Brent: "No"

    Yeah, these two are really sharp..

  • What a fucking weird way to start an interview. Those people are morons...

  • Something tells me these hosts are on the lower end of the IQ spectrum.

  • It's so obvious these people know shit and Brent is like "why am I sitting here talking to these pricks?"

  • 6:02 "these people are not idiots" bitchslapped! :)

  • so am I right here? Data is acting as brent spiner?

  • the interviewers accent is so hot

  • what a charming guy..awesome man is mr spiner

  • These interviewers are absolutely horrible. Get a new job!!

  • These two morons put the BBC to shame.

  • Those Dumb twats!

  • "Explore other galaxies "....what an idiot

  • Inappropriate laughter was sort of a feature of commander Data's motus operandi wasn't it? His makeup?

    Obviously she has no clue who he is, and never saw Star Trek.

  • @wilkcards "motus operandi" means "movement in operation". You meant "method of operation" which is "modus operandi". My pedantry here is done.

  • id explore her galaxy.. xxxxxxx

  • His name is pronounced Spiner like your spine in your back.

  • So his last name is Spine-r?

    Since I started watching it as a baby, I kept thinking his name was Spin-ner, as though you're spinning a wheel.

  • Kirk saying 'screens' instead of 'shields'?

  • I wish there was more to watch of Brent. He always delivers!

  • It would be nice if there was a hard science retcon of the original series one day. Maybe CGI could be used to reimagine all of the alien races to be non-anthropomorphic. Perhaps a rational pretense for why the Vinge Singularity never occurred and why there is such limited nanotechnology. It shouldn't be too hard with the technology available now.

  • The hosts of this program are awful, I mean come on do some preparation or research before interviewing a guest.

  • The interviewers are idiots...they were blessed to be graced with the marvelous actor. We love you Brent!

  • They didn't explore other galaxies very often.

  • Those idiots are IDIOTS! Trek rocks!

  • You know, for an "aging actor," he looks terrific. A little age looks good on him. His dialogue is so far above the bubbly lad and lass conducting the interview, (no offense to fans of this talk show) it goes clear over their heads. Well done, Mr. Spiner! You make me proud to be a Trekkie :)

  • a couple of asshole british douche bags putting the rest of the country to shame, as usual.

  • Even living in Malibu isnt worth this kind of torture. The man is a saint.

  • Oh good lord those interviewers are aweful, I had to stop watching after 2 minutes of it, poor Brent having to put up with that.

  • Data wanted to be human just allow him to age like a human and problem solved and give him that gray strip in his hair!!!!!

  • I want data in the second film or in a new series and dont say it cant happen anything can happen in star trek I think Q should bring him back.

  • @KryptoWolf and with the CGI now, they could easily put Brent Spiner in the role but edit him to make him look "youthful" again.

  • @thorkyll Im not sure about using CGI. Did you watch patrick stewart in wolverine? and why don't they just put him in star trek 2! I want Data and Spock working together. Also I want Q!!!!!!

  • i truthfully read a few youtube comments, and shut this video off at 1:55 i couldn't watch it.

  • The BBC people are Huge Pompous A-Holes

  • @VidFeed1 yes, and paid for by the British tax payer who is FORCED to pay a TV license to the BBC just in order to watch ANY TV (or else prosecuted), even if they don't watch any BBC channels. It's a disgrace.

  • shame on you two for acting like idiots interviewing Brent Spiner.

    There acting like some failed wanna be news ancors, that have no idea of how to interview some one and think everything should be about getting some secrets and never before seen stuff from him, insted of asking him fun questions about something that fans of star trek and him would wanna know.

  • Absolutely awful interview. If Brent's comment about Trek fans' IQ is correct, these two interviewers are definitely not trekkies.

  • I respect him for giving a real life answer to the "why did the Klingons change" question. So many people would have tried to give some wishywashy in-show answer.

  • They wanted him to be a monkey with the "could you do a Patrick Stewart impersonation for us" and he pretty much told them to eff off. Nicely done, Mr. Spiner...Nicely done.

  • 7:15

    WRONG it was a virus.

  • I LOVE DATA!

  • One of the most horrible interviews I've ever seen. I despise morning shows in general, but BBC Breakfast is particularly awful. Teach these people some interviewing skills! If I was Brent Spiner, I would've gone straight to a pub after this and had a "glad that sh*t is overwith" drink.

  • 6:18 "Star Trek fans, in general, are on the higher end of the IQ spectrum."

    Thanks, Brent. We always knew you were super intelligent!

    We love you forever!

  • spiner is a real cocksucker in his convention meetings ive watched. I bet he's doing his best 'acting' on this mainstream as it is in his better interest to do so. What a cok. He's made me dislike data a bit now when I watch it though I try and keep these worlds seperate :)

  • @dwaynedibbly I understand what you mean, but if we're honest with ourselves, he's had a LOT of patience over the years. The two worst things that can happen to an actor are 1) Never being noticed 2) Being noticed too much for one character. Brent Spiner somehow got both. He's never been noticed or known well by anyone else than Trekkies and a select number of filmmakers. And the only thing he's really KNOWN for is one character. He probably wants people to realize him for the great actor he is!

  • wow, such a pair of twats.

  • I must admit I wasn't watching this video for brent spirner, i was wathing it because I was looking at the womans sexy legs... sorry:)

  • @cucumberry1 you poor desperate loser

  • @dwaynedibbly Your mother said the same think to me when I prematurly ejaculated in her mouth :)

  • @cucumberry1 oh.

  • The male interviewer sounds pretty condescending. What a jackass.

  • I am blown away at the complete ineptitude and level of pure disrespect these hosts have displayed towards such a professional, couth actor, Brent Spiner. He handles himself and their assinine questions with perfection. Brent proects himself as well as the fans; he should be commended. I sincerely hope the BBC received some negative mail on being so ridiculously rude towards the fans and to Brent.

  • what a ridiculous show this is...

  • @EyeOnTheTV leave BBC breakfast alone, now ITV have messed up GMTV its the best we british have got

  • Fucking hell. Painful.

  • What a weird choice for a clip from TOS...

  • "He's probably getting fucked in the ass" - Tourettes Guy on Brent Spiner

  • Brent comes off so well in this interview, clearly his IQ is double that of the interviewers!!! They can't even read! So embarrassing for them.

  • Comment removed

  • Most talk people R total flakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ST TNG movies went in a "different" direction.

  • Gotta give respect to Brent for not losing his temper with these two. They clearly know nothing about his character...apart from embarrassing themselves it also comes across as very rude.

  • @TheShowStopper300 I never imagined Brent as the sort of guy to lose his temper - he seems like a nice and collected chap. :)

  • @SPeacock Very much agreed.

  • Explore other galaxies? That's false.

  • After watching Star Trek TNG almost three times, it's really kind of difficult for me to believe Spiner is human... and I'm like damn serious

  • That woman is such an idiot! Couldn't they get someone better to interview the amazing BRENT SPINER for goodness sake! Laughing was one of the features of the commander.... in the episodes he only does it 2x or so! oh dear!

  • Yay, get a Brent Spiner interview and then get facts about his main and best known character portrayal wrong, show just as much TOS footage as you do footage of TNG, try and bait him into insulting trekkies when they love him and he loves them because they provide his meal ticket and idolize him and insult American schooling by insinuating American kids are learning more science from star trek.

    Kudos to Brent for the couple of little polite insults against their intellect he threw in at the end.

  • Those two interviewers were complete morons. That woman made her fair share of idiotic comments but that guy actually said that Star Trek is not liked by a lot of people? Idiots...complete idiots.

  • Ah, Brent Spiner: David Cameron's older more American twin brother...

  • The is interview is almost painful to watch, these are the some the worst interviewers i've ever seen, Spiner is great, but those hosts are just idiots, really did they do any research at all into Star Trek, or maybe other aspects of Brent Spiner's career. If I was to interview someone on national television, I think i'd do some research, especially if I wasn't familiar with them or the career their involved with, and I'm pretty sure these hosts have never see an episode of Star Trek.

  • Damn...Brent is really on point in this interview, as usual.

  • what a pair of muppets !!!

  • I was going to rip these interviewers a new hole, but you guys did it all for me!! THANKS A BUNCH!! ; D

  • toooo old

  • 'The actors mothers made their clothes in the first series'

    'Really?'

    'No'

    I handled her not knowing anything about Star Trek, but that tipped me over the RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.

  • Interviewers fail.

  • oh dear, on behalf of the british people I'm sorry Brent. We're not all retarded!

  • Great job, BBC Breakfast. Morons... 

  • the interviewers know literally nothing. "Yeah cos Data always was laughing wasn't he?" :/

  • @twhichy yes... especially the guy... total douche

  • Breakfast is appalling it's an absolute embarassment...as are most of our news programmes to be honest.

  • @sweiland75 You have to admit though they have not hit it as well since Picard and Data. I guess the world agrees which is why non of the other series got movie deals. Voyager was excellent, Deep Space 9 was a soap opera set in space and the boldly went nowhere as it was a static space station. The less said about Enterpise and especially the choice of captain the better - how that made it to 4 seasons allah alone knows.

  • fantastic legs Susana !! not much spunk left now !!!

  • Brent is a lovely chap, bloody good actor and a terrific singer. It would be a shame not to see him as Data again. I liked the last movie but we need a quality tv series back with Next Gen/DS9/Voyager characters in it. By the way I agree the presenters here were atrocious...kept butting in etc but Brent, being a pro, overcame it well.

  • @TRUMPER007 after reading your comment i instantly invented what youd sound like in my head which was a jolly jolly brit, smashing.

  • @ryno123321 - I am indeed old bean - have a splendid day!

  • Two bit player's, with no love lost. These presenter's are just corporate fly bye night's. Star Trek will live in the century's to come, and let's hope that future generation's of fan's will look at these presenter lowlife's for what they are...I.E.Egotistical wannabee's...

  • I'd love for Brent to play Data again! I know it's unlikely, but we can hope!

  • I feel bad for Brent because he has to put up with these two dumbasses for nearly ten minutes.

  • @darmokandgalad Bless his heart. I've got to give him huge props for being such a good sport this whole time; the hosts are so lucky they couldn't see that contempt in his face.

  • You can just see the contempt Brent has for these guys in his face lol

  • I WONT LOOK AT ANOTHER STAR TREK MOVIE IF DATA OR PICARD ARE NOT IN IT.

    the new star trek was rubish compared to old ones

  • @brealsoul

    Thank you, I feel the same way but it seems like few others do. The new Star Trek was just a bunch of pretty actors running around on a stage with lots of special effects; that's not Star Trek. Star Trek has always been the exact opposite of that. It really wasn't even a Star Trek movie, they could have just changed the names and it would have been its own film and would have been unrecognizable as a Star Trek film.

  • @darmokandgalad

    Ding ding ding ding ding ....correct! Get this man some Ritz crackers!

  • These interviewers are a joke and a disgrace!

  • love his laugh also never fire brent spiner

  • WORST interviewers EVER. Would someone please fire these people??

  • Wow, of all the amazing Star Trek scenes, they chose one of the most forgettable ones. Great job, guys.

    5:54 "To what degree do those Trekkies associate you with the character you play, is there a confusion there?" WTF??

    Brent's such a naturally affable person, it's clear why Data was so popular.

  • @mssharpie where the hell did you go to school? good luck getting a point across with your poor spelling.

  • @mssharpie What the fuck?

  • @xxl2007 My feelings exactly. She needs to crawl back under the rock she came from.

  • Look how uncomfortable she is around him (body language)

  • @mongrelchild What does this imply?

    She is frightened? Unsure? 

  • @Ignozi shes uncomfortable around the male host. maybe he tried to hit on her or something

  • absolute embarrasment. 

  • why didnt they just let the poor bastard speak. they are pricks and useless interviewers

  • God this makes me ashamed to be British, anyone who's commented could have done it better. Poor Brent.

  • poor brent. idiotic brits

  • to datalady brent spiner fans (i'm not 1 of them,i'm no 1s' fan but my own) are notoriously bad judges of character.your intellects are not sharp enouph to judge character correctly.the fact that brent spiner often sits with legs crossed is just ONE of the indications of effeminacy.the PROOF of brent spiners' effeminacy is that brent spiner CONSISTENTLY REFUSES TO USE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRLS FOR SEX.i rest my case.

  • @mssharpie I got news for you, honey; that's not what a true man is. A man who is decent, modest, and has respect for women is a true man. Brent is a true man, and there are other actors who sit like him and have the same qualities: Mark Harmon and Gary Sinise, to name two.

  • Oh my god. May PLEASE someone call the Borg and assimilate those interviewers? How in Q's mighty Universe can such an interview be held by people who have not the slightest idea of the Star Trek Universe, the meaning it has for trekkies and of the trekkies themselves? This is disgusting!

    Brent Spiner has reacted really adorable :)

  • Was für Idioten.

    "star trek fans in general are on the higher end of the IQ spectrum" und BBC-Moderatoren sind on the lower end of this spectrum

  • Thank you Brent Spiner for defending people who like Star Trek against those interviewers who thought we were too big of idiots to understand that Data was a fictional character.

  • Thank youfor uploading this as I am a big fan of Brent Spinner all the way from his Night Court days. Hate the interviewers. Nuff said.

  • "So many people hate it."

    Wtf? You don't say that kind of crap in an interview. And most definitialy not when you are talking about a cult classic like Star Trek.

    Have these people even watched one episode of tng?

  • this is brent spiner creepy and effeminate

  • @mssharpie If you think he's effeminate just because he crosses his legs, you're crazy. That doesn't make him effeminate; it makes him a gentleman. He's not nasty about anything - he's modest, and I admire that about him.

  • Brent Spiner is so attractive in real life

  • Jeeeez, what a pair of pillocks....

  • Oh That was embarrassing. Mr.Spiner certainly showed restraint. Morons. Not because they are unfamiliar with the show. That is forgivable. Because they are in a profession where they should have at least some preparedness. Disrespectful to the guest AND audience. Jeesh

  • lol those presenters were terrible

  • What are couple of twats. Why the hell are those two interviewing?? They didn't let Brent talk

  • "Star Trek fans in general are on the higher end of the IQ spectrum" - OH YEA!

  • @CraziekatieM they in fact are hillbillies and ghetto types don't watch ST

  • @CraziekatieM

    [citation needed]

  • @SwedxSimon02

    It's not a fact or a researched finding, it's just his opinion :)

  • @CraziekatieM Huh? I didn't get it. ; )

  • WHAT TOS EP WASN DAT?

  • @seveeona Arena from season 1

  • after reading these comments, i don't know if i can go ahead and watch this now, seems TOO cringeworthy...

  • i'm glad you're attracted to data,but brent spiner's not data.may be data might do u,because he's not preoccupied by social status.but brent spiner will never do u b cuz he views all u fans as social inferiors.brent spiner likely isn't doing any 1 right now,anyway,brent spiner is celebate like the dali lama.and since brent spiner wont do u fans (and many of u r good looking),that's UNMANLY.that's EFFEMINATE.good luck.with brent spiner,u'll need it.
