And the greatest broadcast interview ever is ... David Frost's interrogation of Richard Nixon in 1977. It wasn't a bad film either. This is according to visitors to the Radio Times website, which held a poll to coincide with the BBC College of Journalism's art of the interview season. A change of pace at number two ? as far as I remember Nixon wasn't asked to choose his favourite tunes ? with Morrissey's appearance on Desert Island Discs in 2009, and Victoria Derbyshire's recent quizzing of Ken Clarke about rape on BBC Radio 5 Live in third place. What else makes the list? Well, there's the Paxo and Michael Howard show from Newsnight from 1997, which comes fourth, Dennnis Potter's 1994 interview with Melvyn Bragg at number six, and at number 11, er... Michael Parkinson's infamous encounter with Rod Hull and Emu from 1976.
