Who's the woman in 8:25?

That's Victoria Wood, if I'm not mistaken...

I completely disagree with what Stephen Fry said about being the last generation of people who cared about overseas politics. I know many young people who are very passionate about current affairs.

Pete Townsend... the man, the legend(ary pervert)!

@TheAliBongo I agree but considering this documentary was made in 2004 it's easy to understand his view. The Iraq war was still fresh and there wasn't a global movement against the war similar to that of the Vietnam era. There were protests, sure, but if there was a unified front it pales in comparison with the late 60s - early 70s ideological movement. Still, I do agree with you. Many of us care.
