  • 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.

  • You might want to put Dick Cavett in the tags as people, including myself search for him on here

  • @NaviLight Done.

  • 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! ^_~\\
