    I knew I'd seen an ad for it on TV - but for some reason I thought it was RTE.

    Is this a repeat of a show that was on previously or something new? I remember watching The Root of all Evil - but not this.

    (9pm tonight, btw)

    I'm able to series link it so it must be, well, a series. :D

    I've got Sky and it's showing on More 4 at 21:00 and 12:05 tonight. The blurb for both states "Professor Richard Dawkins launches a wholehearted attack on religion as the cause for much of the pain and suffering in the world." Looks like the same show, just shown twice. I can series-link the first one, but not the second showing.

    This is the same. When RTE Showed ROAE it was shown in two parts.
    "Root of all Evil - The God Delusion" was the second part, can't remember what the first part was called.:o

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've watched this one before. Might watch it again though if nothing else is on.

    Lol, I remember when Tubs was interviewing Dawkins on The Late Late Show and my mother was watching. She thought Dawkins was a loony and was just laughing at his crazy notions. Tubs fault really, I'd expected a conversation on the beauty of diversity by evolution but not to be.

    Just watching that on youtube now because I hadn't seen it at the time.

    So far it's basically a "justify yourself, you freak" type interview :(

    Pat Kenny did a much better job(Although I really don't like him usual) but the crowd made my head explode.

    Indeed. Pat actually gave him a bit of time to answer his questions.

    And I thought the guy on with him was quite reasonable. Could have been a lot worse.

    I watched the interview and it was miles better than Tub's version! At least there was some kind of constructive dialogue, until that is, when the philosopher brought up the whole alien thing :rolleyes:

    I wish I could say the audience's questions were not as expected.

    Do you or anybody else not find it a bit funny if not foolish,that he denies all existence of anything other than what's here now yet he believes in aliens?

    He doesn't deny all existence of anything other than what's here now. He does not believe in any supernatural god. There's a difference.
