As BBC1 switches to BBC News 24 at 1:15am, it means that people without access to extra channels (like me) can watch it on terrestrial telly.
That's if I'm still awake / sober enough to watch it at that time.

A very nice interview all aspects of topics covered - Quite a big discussion on Neils sexuality also quite funny. Well worth a watch!
The footage from the new livd DVD also looks very well put together.

Wow. As someone in the antipodes who has never experienced PSB on TV or radio, that was great.
Of interest, that Neil's nieces think I-tunes is passe and CDs are cool.
Here I am with my Ipod, and the youngies are sneering at me.
And Neil thinks they will still be touring in 10 years. Bliss.
They may even come back to Oz in ten years.

Ooh, it's about to be shown again. Fingers crossed my not entirely legal Chinese stream of BBC World holds out for the duration.

Yeah ..great interview, I loved it when he rapped on a few lines of WEST END GIRLS with the british accent Versus American accent...it makes such a difference indeed. Imagine all these aggressive rappers ( 50 cents , Eminem...) if suddenly they were rapping with a british accent ....

Yes, an excellant interview! A small quibble...I do wish Neil wouldn't keep putting his hand near his mouth when he speaks. I guess it's just a nervous reaction, but it's slightly off-putting after awhile. Otherwise he is a very articulate and eridite interviewee. I must say that this interview somewhat flies in the face of that "Ridicule" topic. Just how embarrassing can it be to like a band whose lead singer is considered intelligent and worthy enough to be interviewed on BBC World Hardtalk extra? I don't think there are too many groups around that would be given such a privilege.

I remember Stefen Kapoor (Apache Indian) being interviewed.
But i guess Bono would rather go for the normal Hardtalk

I saw Duran Duran interviewed on Hardtalk Extra about a year ago and it was also a thoroughly illuminating and entertaining thirty minutes. It's interesting to see just how much a good interviewer and journalist such as Gavin Esler can bring out of their interviewee.

I enjoyed the interview, and Neil was on his usual witty form. However, I wish Gavin had asked a bit more specifically about were the songs still coming and future projects.
Neil's comment that Chris had the most provocative opinions of the two of them but did not like to do public debate, rather piqued my interest. I wonder what some of them might be?...
