  • why is there an advert for Dior ADDICT next to this clip. As if ADDICT somehow relates to Pete...........

  • cmoooon. what do people know really about him, his life, about his inside. i dont know much either, but at list im not talking bullshit everywhere. he is a great artist thats what i CAN tell, and his nos stupid at all, hi is a brilliant guy, of course he has his troubles, but nobody knowa anything about that. so SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  • fuera de joda, que imbecil. talking in english.. doesnt journalists realise they are talking to a real person? would they like to be attacked in everyway, and refered to as a junkie, as someone who cares a shit about his own mother, as a cliche whos going to die in 2 years?

  • @commentworthdidly You're tooting your own horn a bit, are you not? 'I as a superior wordsmith and the best lyricist since Dylan'..Get off your high horse, before you fall and break your neck.

  • 3:38 gives me hope and I really think he's telling the truth here! fuck off all you haters and non belivers! he's a genius and he will survive!!!!

  • When on drugs you can't possibly be thinking straight so how can you inspire anyone, Pete get off the drugs and lets see the real you, i know that kate moss did alot for you now give it back to your audience?

  • self destruct? what a whore

  • motherfucker

  • Such a sweet boy, addict or not he's still the poet and anything can change that even medias. "They left me by te side of the road like a plastic bag" Such a beautiful but sad quote. He's so broken here the Libertines was so important to him! I think he suffered enough.

  • Anyone else think the interviewer is a right fucking bitch?

  • i am one of the biggst pd fans, and hsve met him a few times but to quote him "they dont seem bothered by the drugs they take the inspiration from the songs" now please correct me if i'm wrong but it is the drugsd that make him the beauts he does no????

  • You all hate drugs, but you like coffee and love the beatles :D go go go social acceptance

  • FUMA QUE NEM UMA CAIPORA

  • DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. is the golden rule,Pete is a gifted and talented poet/singer songwriter,SHOTTERS NATION is a genius collection of songs,from Baby-shambles. I dont think hes a poser,i think that's Pete, on or off camera, Take Sid Vicious,not a great bassist but a great showman,The Pistols wouldn't of been the same without him,

  • Surely she should give that fucking letter to him and not read it out to look for a reaction

  • He has his mask,like everybody else.Posing

  • everyone go and search on youtube Pete Doherty ques for oasis album. Thats the real pete back when he was a young lad.

  • Why do people hate this guy so much ? I dont know much about him, I just want to know why people hate him.

  • @manwithouthat44 Don't know man.. I don't know much about him either, but from what I've seen he's just a nice guy who went down the wrong path.... He's a musical genius though.

  • @manwithouthat44 1 word mate, HEROIN. smack heads,  people love em or hate em.I dont think his voice would be the same without taking what hes taken!!!!

  • Genius

  • Just because peter's on a respectable BBC programme he is very well mannered! Good on you. He has made an effort with his clothes, makeup and hair as well!

  • Thanks god i can live when he's still alive... I missed Cobain already.

  • you all need to take your tongues out of his scruffy arsehole and get a grip

  • pete is amazing... i love you

  • Lmfao. I love the look he makes in the camera after she says, "I have this letter from your Mother"

    and

    "Would you ever play with the Libertines again?"

    "I think you're asking the wrong person."

    "No, Im asking the right person"

    No, actually you're not."

    lmao

  • Lmfao. I love the look he makes in the camera after she says, "I have this letter from your Mother"

  • What a poser, what a fucking poser!

  • @JerrySmith2 oh ok, cos hes not an accomplished songwriter...

  • @JerrySmith2 Why is he a poser ?

  • @manwithouthat44 Look at him, just look at him! Had a privileged upbringing, middle class rebel. Absolutely no time for this contrived bollox. If people actually knew the reality of drugs, what they did to people, what they become, how they smell, survive, exist, disgusting! Its all very well for him to take drugs, but dumb-ass kids dont see that and try and emulate it, no time for it!

  • He's a beautiful being. </3

  • Argh that woman is an idiot. She acts like she's talking to a teenager who gets in lots of trouble instead of an important amazing artist of this generation. And seriously, asking him if he's going to be a Jim Morrison or Kurt Cobain "cliches of a rock and roll lifestyle". I'm sorry...is that what they are?? Idiot.

  • @bluecenterlightpop10 I thought she was al right, I mean she wasn't like perfect but I've seen interviewers be really shit to him before and she seemed to show at least some sensitivity and tact but I see what you mean about the " talking to a teenager who gets in lots of trouble" thing, it was like she was talking to a toddler that had just fallen into a hedge, ridiculous...

  • As far as the celebrity car crash bullshit comments are concerned,THIS INTERVIEW IS FROM 2007!!!!! He's not using anymore!!! He has an opiate Implant!!!! He cant do drugs even if he tried!!! He's Clean now!!! So shut up!!! He's proven himself ENOUGH!!! Just listen to Shotter's Nation!!! You mean you can't HEAR the change in him!!! Fuck's SAKE!! Let the man live!!!!

  • @kaliyuta he still uses but thats not releventhe's inspiring for his music <3

  • he's one of my inspiration

  • that interviewer is a bitch.....no more needs to be said

  • @ciarannevin1 why?? i don't know if you remember when this interview was broadcast but at the time pete was being demonised. I think kirsty wark was trying to humanise him and show that he was a talented musician and a poet rather than just a celebrity car crash. I actually think this interview is kind of iconic. It's just a pity that he has gone down the car crash route.

  • this makes me feel very sad. he's seems like such a sad person. he's brilliant.

  • in ALL descriptions I hear, they say he is very sensitive

  • deep

  • he is sooo beautiful I feel I'm gonna melt down

  • He's been portrayed as a thug drug addict who doesn't care, he's actually a pleasent very caring man.

  • <3 Pete

  • i think he's what elijah wood hopes to look like.

  • He seems like such a sweetie. :) If only the people that think he's just a drug-addled musician would listen to his lyrics or watch interviews, they'd see he means well...

  • I haven't watched this for quite a while, but this time I watched it and it dawned on me that Kirsty Wark seems a little bit unnerved by Peter. I don't think she was planning on getting the answers she got from him. He out-answered her questions by a long shot... It's like she accidentally pitched him the perfect pitch and he knocked it out of the park instead of striking out. Hard to explain what I mean.

  • Comment removed

  • I think he is one of the most amazing poets and song writers. he is actually my perfect man!

  • Always thought Pete was a bit of a numpty really. But then looking further into things, I see that it's the medias fault he gets the image he does. Sure, he's not squeaky clean as everyone wants 'celebraties' to be... but everyone makes mistakes.

    I hope Pete manages to sort himself out. He's a modern poetical genius.

  • He's got the most beautiful eyes <3

  • Please Peter, don't EVER push that self destruct button, & don't allow anyone else to get to you enough to let them at it either. You don't just have a special gift, you ARE the special gift. Don't let anyone or anything ruin it for you. Not pushing advice, just offering it...as someone who has learned the HARD way what it means to need your family and true friends & to have them trust & know that they have you too. That's the bottom line to it all. Everything else is the icing on the cake.

  • i know his mum, shes the nurse at my school. she doesnt like people asking her questions about his drug problems cause thats what everyone was asking her loads. so i told her how much i love the libertiens babyshambles and pete, and i told her that he's like my musical hero. and she acautly talked to me while i was meant to be sick. i think people concentrate too much on his drug taking. they need to acutally listen to the music and see what a taletened guy pete doherty is

  • @jemmaaw Hi! I read her book & although I knew it was about Peter, it really helped me w/our probs.Ours aren't drugs, but sudden illness to my hubby that turned our lives upside down. Her words really rang true w/me. If you would, please thank her from Bevy. I'd love to tell her how I came to find Peters music. It's strange indeed! I just thank goodness that I did. No matter how hard a day we're having, I get a sense of calm from his words, that somehow everything will be ok. I hope they are ok.

  • @jemmaaw i couldnt have put it any better meself mate i hate the way everyone sees an addict, as an ex heroin addict i know what thats like, ive been clean for years but most people never see you the same again, its wrong, people can change but only when there ready to, and as far as Pete, i love pete and everything he's done, i honestly believe he's one of the most talented people of his time with or without drugs, i just think theres assholes out there who allways concentrate on the negative.

  • @jemmaaw i bet you dont even know his mum you bullshiter! pete doherty is a messed up wanker and his music aint even that great.

  • @martymartymarty1232 shut up you wanker. i do know his mum she works at my school. Its can windsor school, its an army school in german for army kids. So shut your face, pete doherty went to my school too! his dads a major on camp my dad knows him and his sister is a nurse in the med centre on camp.

  • @martymartymarty1232

    AND PETE IS'NT A MESSED UP WANKER. YOUR A MESSED UP WANKER! pete doherty is one of the best english musicans and has amazing talent. dont you listen to the lyrics. and havent you watched this? cause if you watched it properly you'd see what hes really like! so screw you :)

  • @jemmaaw fair play to you:) martymarty is a big fat WANKER!!!

  • @jamietrules fair play to you. YOUVE GOT 1 FIT NAME :)

  • @jemmaaw Thanks i like libertines better now but he is still good =]

  • i hate it that the interviewer is focusin on his drug problem =( thats just stupid cos he doesnt look like he exactly wants to talk about it so much

  • His voice is so smooth and soothing! I love listening to it <3

  • petes a ledgend

  • this made me cry so much. when he whinces when the interviewer calls him an 'addict' i feel like giving him a big hug. what a sensitive, intelligent charimsic guy.

    i don't like the Kirsty Wark in this, i think she approached the situation completely insensitvely, and focused too much on this drug issues, someone give this woman a Libertines album.

    Long live Pete Doherty.

  • i hate the fact that every bigoted Sun reader, calls him a 'junkie' and know him for going out with Kate Moss. listen to one of his songs wankers, and tell me he isn't talented.

  • @7838855 they're too thick to appreciate good music anyway.

  • this is highly contrived

  • bit of a shit interviewer. he dealt with it quite well though.

  • Someone should bitchslap this woman. Now.

  • Comment removed

  • @BenjaminZN whats an english diletant?

  • Sad.

  • what a lovely guy

  • Comment removed

  • It's really sad that his father refuses to talk to him because of his drug use. He was a perfect academic : he got straight A's in his A-Levels and got that scholarship to Russia for poetry. He took one croked turn and his father won't give him the support to see him through his addiction. He's a seemingly decent person, funny and obviously extremely talented. It's sounds like to me all of his goods out weigh the one bad and I think his father should try to help him see the addiction through.

  • i adore him :) i admit i used to be so annoyed by him and his constant drug use but the more interviews i see of him being honest and funny and intelligent and even completely exposed, the more I come to admire him. I obviously don't admire his drug use but every other part of him.

  • "They dont take their inspiration from the drugs, they take their inspiration from the songs." well fucking said Pete. I'm sick of interviewers thinking that fans of his gonna go out and shoot up just because he does. We can love him without loving the drugs.

  • shes quite rude..and pushy...

  • Kristy obviously didn't understand the letter she read...she is very disrespectful.  Pete showed much more class.

  • What Guitar Is It?

  • @Johann759 its a martin

  • Kind of a hard interview, and he handles it very well. Hes not only a gifted musician and poet, but also a clearly sensitive and clever guy ( and pretty hot i have to admit ^^ ). To my mind, he is one of the most emblematic, and charismatic artist of our generation, we dont care about his drug pbs, he is brilliant.

  • Petey sucked me off in a broom closet for a Double Cheeseburger

  • @OnThatPowder Pete works all the public toilets on the route of the jubilee line. He rimmed me for a fiver. Poor wee shite.

  • @fionndan nice, i gotta check that out

  • @fionndan you jealous,wanker,are you,you are arent you,course u are.

  • She is so un-cool and lame!! I just want to throw a cream pie in her face.She seems like someone that wears three pairs of underwear under her other layers of clothing......... couldn't they have chosen someone cooler --or that at least cares about music to interview Pete? For chrissake, she looks/acts like she listens to friggin Celine Dion. Makes me think the producer of this surely had a recto-cranial inversion problem when putting it together.

  • reading 2010!

  • I'm trying to figure out how she sat there and didn't acknowledge how lucky she was to have that song played so beautifully 2 feet away from her...and not even so much as a word or a toe tap...or a head sway. Maybe concentrating on her next question. I wonder if she rethought it after seeing it? How can you ignore that performance w/out a compliment of some sort???

  • what year was this?

  • what a fucking bitch

    pete FTW!!

  • That was a deep interview.

    I think he doens't know where the button is. First, it semmed like he didn't know what to answer.

    He's right - he should push the button by himself, but he shouldn't exaggerate. I think he enjoys situations, partys and all those stuff too much without thinking about the consequences. But it's not his fault, he seems to be a very, very sensitive and true soul, but he just doesn't know how to find the right way.

    By the way:My english isn't perfect. Excuse the mistakes:)

  • His music is the melody of our time.

  • Peter Doherty is an immortal poet. The voice of a generation that is brave enough to look that generation directly in the face.

  • @zoso212 So true - Part One of this interview compounds that. I don't knwo what to say that hasn't already been said other than Pete has the most pain-stricken eyes I've ever seen....

  • I would have NEVER thought Doherty has this kind of depth to him... It's astonishing how the media can make a scarecrow out of anyone.

  • "i know where the button is" genius

  • So honest and aware and articulate and nice. I fucking hate drugs.

  • i love it when he says: yeh.. i know where the self distruct button is. He is so raw, so honest, i just hate that people cannot see past the tabloids and drugs for what he truly is. He is a true soul

  • this just....makes me cry. He's such a beautiful person with an amazing talent.

    people have got to se beyond the drugs...I'm not saying that I like it, but...you know...don't forget his talent and what he gives to the world. I'm just saying don't let the drugs decide who he is to you.

  • pete i spoke with your mom jajajajajajajjajjajaja

  • As an interviewer, she's extremely insensitive.

  • She's an interviewer. It's her job to get answers, not pat the artist on the head.

  • He is amazing , a true poet :)

    If you read his letters you can see that!

  • Peter reminds me how to feel raw emotion. he's truly a beautiful person inside and out there is o one else like him.

  • Peter for me represents a great mistery and paradox. Paradox of a very evolved and gentle soul, but who expresses himself and defines himself by decadence. Anyway, he remains being the great platonic Love of my decadent side. And his music makes me discover some never known feelings. You just need to love Peter!

  • please don't self destruct anymore love :(

  • Pete Doherty is one of the most important guys of my generation

  • Musically yes.

  • @spooney444 the same. I would even say the most important guy for me.

  • ads on youtube. wow. what the fuck, google!!!

  • That was a really good answer 'I know where the button is' =)

  • He'll probably be fine

  • he is a sweet person, so gentl you can tell in the way he talks and all.............bless him!

  • does she want his to hate her?

    if i was him i wud tell her shes getting too personal !!! xxx

  • That woman is a twat.

  • the fuck are you talking about cunt?

  • Love doherty but this is her job and she did mention afterwards that she was moved by his performance of Music when the lights go out.

  • hahaha, i know where the button is ...and not let anyone else push it. meaning just don't go there

  • Good Health to Pete

  • anyone else feel this interview crosses the line from an interview to an attempted counciling session?

  • nahh they are just tryin to find out whats going on in his head,, i think from 3.12 onwards just sums it up.

  • @andabottleofbread Yeah its more of some fail intervention, Pete is his own person AND fucking talented as fuck. I do oxycotin every fucking day (40s) and i can honestly say it doesnt effect me that much. People like to get high, so fucking what.

  • @andabottleofbread when Pete is interviewed by a woman, as he invariably is, the interview is always an attempted counselling session

  • @andabottleofbread

    as usual in these fucking things.

  • @andabottleofbread Yeah this just goes to damn far.

  • Alguna buena alma podría traducir un poco sobre lo que habla Pete y si tiene alguna frase puntazo? graaaacias

  • Al principio la senora le lee una carta que le mando su mama la carta dice:" Peter es un poeta, escritor y pensador talentuoso. Por favor sean gentiles con el, siento que es muy vulnerable. Es una alma sensitiva y tiene muchas buenas caracteristicas. Ha ayudado a muchas personas. A pesar de lo que has escuchado de el, el esta tratando de resolver sus problemas." Traduzco lo demas al rato tengo que ir. Y que es una "frase puntazo"?

  • Muchas gracias por la traduccion!!, una frase "puntazo" me refiero a si dice alguna frase memorable o genial, te agradezco mucho que estes traduciendo esto. Saludos!!

  • When the interviewer began reading his mother's letter describing him, note the expression on Peter's face...a sad, soft look. He seemed really touched by what his mother said about him.

  • "So when His Lordship--"

    Oh Pete xD

  • I think she treats him like a child because he gives off a very child like wondrous expression. It makes you want to be less harsh to him...

  • i think the interviewer was brilliant

  • ''so when his lordship is ready to talk to me'' hahaha classic pete

  • yeah i found that brilliantly humorous as well....

  • Oh god..

    He is such a genius..and soo very beautiful..

    I don't know why everyone has so fucking prejudices against him..

    He is so lovely..still wauting to see hin live one day <3

  • He's very smart. He's a genius, and it's usually people who are "genius" have had a troubled life. Weird stuff.

  • jesus christ i agree, they really do talk to him like he's retarded.

    pete's great, loved him live :)

  • Pogue Mahone!

  • that poem = genius<3, &well said gorgeous, think your the love of my life(L)!

  • why do the people interviewing him always patronise the fuck out of him?

  • that's so annoying indeed, I've noticed that in other interviews as well! I don't think it's always intentional..some probably don't know how to deal with him so they put up this shield. I'm surprised he's not reacting more aggressively..

  • 0.20... <3 That face!

  • i know where the button is

  • I really don't like this lady haha.

  • pete is what he is. but not only that he is poetic, intelligent and gifted musically. I think he is an absolute legend and yes he does have his demons but dont we all and if you dont u r very lucky.x

  • he is brilliant so inteligent

    i love him

  • bless him. love the sarcasim :) when he looks at the camera afer the letter and prtends to cry. its really good of him to put up with all these people poking their noses into his life x

  • i love his sense of humour, it's so awkward X] and his face when the lady is talking about the letter from his mom. she's actually the most decent interviewer i've seen in a while. and obviously pete is adorable.

  • Pete Is a legend!!!!!!

  • Do you know what its soooo lovely to see that nearyly everyone on here has made a nice comment about pete doherty! he is soo amazing and hismusic iss so pure... i wish everyone couldtake a step back and look at the bigger picture and see that he is a amazing musician. to me his music just.......soo... oh i cant even put it into words he is just a incredible human being

  • haha..they left me on the side of the road...in a plastic bag. lol. he's always trying to make light of those bad situations. they should just leave him alone. it is what it is, ad BabyShambles is an awesome band. He's wonderful, taleted, kind and very funny. I cannot wait for his album to get here just a week or two away yay!!

  • he is a gifted poet. I LOVE HIM

  • well it's true she's focusing on the drugs. But still, this is the most sensitive interviewer I've seen. She doesn't take it lightly, but she isn't rude either. Is it fair to attribute this quality to the fact that it's the BBC?

  • Agreed. Watched an interview on The Late Late show before, it was just drugs, drugs, poor relationship with father, drugs.

    Pat Kenny (The interviewer) was so careless, insensitive in the way the questions were asked.

  • Pat Kenny was a real arse at that interview.

  • legend, nothign else too it he is a complete legend

  • Bloody hell, why is getting interviewed about his addiction and not about his talent? His addiction is a private thing that he needs to deal with himself - I can't stand these kind of interviews. I hate how the media loves to sensationalise peoples sadness to make money. We live in a very fucked up world.

  • i totally agree, but at the end of the day, we don't need the bbc to tell us how talented he is, so maybe by looking deeper into his mind, you can understand his music with more depth.

  • hes so cute and "vonourable" lol

  • There is a lot more to Pete than just the drugs. Underneath is a truly talented guy, sweet, vulnerable and a little bit too naive for his own good. I wish him well and hope that he eventually finds whatever it is he's looking for.

  • Pete you legend!!
