ISnt he wonderfully eloquent, sensible, amusing and charming?

I am Jewish, and I do not believe in the Creator, especially if he's some 5,000 year old Jewish dude, because if he was, I'd never have to buy retail.

@82abhilash I remember seeing it when it was originally broadcast - it was transmitted in colour.

This guy just won one Internet.

excellent stuff, every word true and a gem; I'm 60 and English, so, in a sense, have grown up in parallel with Miller, and he has said/written some powerfully silly things over the years, but this is the liberal humanistic outlook at its very best - I'm happy to live and die by this creed.

After discussing this with some Jewish friends, it seems some people think he's only talking about Judaism in the religious sense of the word. I think it's bigger than that. He was also talking about "Jewishness" as a national or cultural group as well. What a great man!

Any form of identity politics is divisive.

@donnyab I was thinkin' the `70's too but then at-a-glance thru the listed vids, I noticed "Part 1." of the interview [by Dick Cavett] that this clip is excerpted from. So you can find Part 1 on this page & the other two parts will presumably follow. A great 'find,' plus there are more of these earlier interviews of Jonathan Miller. Hope you get this reply so's you can come back & find'em as well. Enjoy! ^_~\\
I wonder how old this interview is? it is in black and white yet he mentions The "Life of Brian" movie. Can you imagine a fireside chat between Jonathon Miller and Stephen Fry? Who would not want to be a fly on the wall to listen to that?

@Mackeson3 It ix from 1980. It is not really black and white. The print is bad.
