The fact that Spock became real in some many peoples eyes is a clue to have good of an actor he is.

These people were not only tremendous actors but also very intelligent people. Sad that today we only hear swearing and political correctness and all that cesspool of ideas today.

Two of my favourite people. Terry Wogan was so funny in his interviews and Leonard Nimoy brought life to Mr Spock. R.I.P to both of them 😥😥

Very interesting interview with Leonard Nimoy, 33 years and so glad to hear his thinking and words about his role. Thank you BBC Archive!

Leonard Nimoy has a great laugh. something a person see much with Mr Spock. Mr Spock was my favorite character from Star Trek. I really liked his common sense, and how articulate he was, and logical he was. as I grew up I've tried to model my life after the character. in using common sense and logic, and I think it has made me better at understanding the world around me. although this world can be very illogical at times.

Great interview. Leonard Nimoy was so human.

RIP both gentlemanly persona quality of discussion proves captivating to hear

I remember him playing Hamlet on Spitting Image around that time: "To be or not to be? That… is illogical, captain"

Star Trek 1 and 4 were the biggest hits at the box office. 2 and 3 were both successful, but not at the same level. 2 actually earned more than 3, so Wogan and Nimoy's talk of 3 and 4 being the main blockbusters is a little misleading.

Thanks for this👍 I love media info delivered in this way…more please 🤗✨

Fascinating.

Thanks for posting.

I remember Leonard & on a different occasion George at SFO, back in the day. It was *good* to be a kid in the bay, back in the day. Momma was a stewardess, so we visited fam. Live long & prosper!

Two wonderfully talented and engaging Carbon Units.. Brilliant. How great would it be to have interviews like this now? Instead we have to endure the interviewer who, by and large has an agenda..and po-faced so called stars.

His story about meeting the kid in the airport when I was a little kid I was a big Star Trek fan and onetime I was watching a commercial with William Shatner and my family says:"look there he is! That's Captain Kirk!" But I-like the kid in the airport-didnt recognize Shatner without the gold shirt and black pants. I guess kids see things differently than adults.

The late, great Leonard Nimoy had a well concealed birth defect hidden to most fans. He actually had 3 ears. A left ear, a right ear and a final front ear.

Nimoy makes it sound like "Wrath" stumbled but it was a huge hit, maybe not -as- big a hit as TMP but that's because TMP was more of an event than a typical movie. However TWOK was a major success, it was more profitable than TMP, broke records at the box office, and it was a critical success which spawned an entire series of movies. Thankfully they went in a different direction with TWOK because TMP, while an interesting piece of Star Trek history, is just a poorly conceived movie that was, as Nimoy says, trying too hard to imitate Kubrick's 2001.

Met him on a flight in 1987 just jfk / LA Remember him being very scruffy

Alternative title for his biography might have been 'In Search of... Spock'!
