  • This was before Sellers truly became great. Interesting.

  • @Ramshobraja - He was already great in the UK, thanks to his work on "The Goon Show" from 1951-1960.

  • Peter...England is now full of char-a-banc loads...you wouldn't like it anymore...R.I.P>

  • The interviewer isn't even listening. Look at her. She's thinking, "Take me now. Just take me roughly this minute."

  • @chaddvanzanten - OMG you're right, you are sooo right!

  • An interviewer smoking during an interview? Times have changed! :-)

  • really? go on,

  • BOHHAA

  • I want a smoke.

  • Great clip. He's spot on about how funny an audience can be. Wish I'd seen 'Brouhaha'. God love ya Mr Sellers.

  • what is it about these amateur canadian interviewers who cut off the guest in mid-sentence. gimme a break!

  • A very interesting insight into the mind of a genius.

  • The short interviews and films from that time show people to be more cerebral then. They kept in mind how what they did or said affected society around them. People also seemed to care a lot more about their appearance. You never saw anyone on television poorly dressed. Men wore tailed suits, women wore impeccably perfect makeup and carefully selected jewelry to match their outfits. Its as though being classy all the time was expected, not something just for a special occasion.

  • Brilliant comic, slightly unhinged, which probably helped. And look at them both smoking their heads off! A different world then.

  • Sellers could never do the same performance twice. He just wasn't made that way. Technique would have destroyed his talent

  • Absolutely right. Sellers was an instinctive genius, technique would have smothered him.

  • He must have borrowed Henry Kissinger's glasses.

  • genius

  • He was such a terrific actor. So incredibly versatile. Moving in dramas and hilarious in comedies. I wish I could find Prisoner of Zenda!

  • genius

  • Amazing talent - not that this interview shows any of it - wasn't he tubby as a lad?

  • This program was brought to you by "Lucky Strike" and "Chesterfields"

  • someone made a similar joke about a bob dylan press conference

  • Back when you could chain smoke on TV! Damn right!

  • they both seem totally high in this clip

  • must... start... smoking....

  • its dr strangelove!
