Newsnight: Paxman meets Hitchens

WeeBushy

Don't suppose anyone caught this?

Was on from 19.30 - 20.00, just over now. I saw the last 30 seconds, I wish I knew that it was on... checked BBC iplayer but you can't watch it in ireland

If anyone knows where else one might be able to watch it, or can put it online do tell

magicbastarder

the continuity announcer said it was paxman and peter hitchens?

WeeBushy

He must've made a mistake, twas the better Hitch on screen at the end.

Here's the link from bbc ipayer:

Thanking you. However, I've downloaded both but mgeni says that tor is not running or isn't installed. Not sure how to get tor running once i've downloaded it...

Edit: Got it working. Thank you very much

Does Hitchens have ANY furniture!?

At certain angles it really shows how much weight he's lost.

Just finished watching, superb interview.

very good interview. Pretty much sums up what Hitchens is all about in half an hour.

On a side note, i didnt recognise him looking at the youtube stills

I watched the broadcast but thanks for the links and so on above.

I thought he looked very unwell, his eyes and mouth in particular showing the strain, but his bravery is exemplary and his wry humour hasn't deserted him.

Paxo and himself are a dream team together. A superb interview.

Dave!

Damn I totally have to watch the Blair debate and then this! TOO MUCH HITCH FOR ONE PERSON!

Actually scratch that, there's no such thing...

Not necessarily soon. At the very least he has months, possibly a few years. Hell, five out of every hundred people in his position are alive after five years. Maybe he will be one.

I thought it was a good half hour's viewing. Some of Paxman's questions all but made me flinch but I was moved by Hitch's composure. On the lighter side, Paxman's empathetic face was rather amusing. Who knew he had one.

God Hitch willing...
