All of the guests were superb and Aspel, I always thought, was a far better interviewer than Parkinson

Not sure 'far better' but underrated. Personally, after trawling through the archives I have a high regard for Dick Cavett. Nice to see the blessed Arthur Marshall here - he was hilarious on the Dame Edna Everage Show.

Thank you Dirk for defending the French! God bless your soul. 25 years after your death.

We’ve lost so many wonderful people. Bless them.

Indeed we have, indeed we have.

Those were the days!

Fascinating to see any interview with Dirk Bogarde. He was so controlled, and private. He clearly didn't let Aspel ask him too many questions and did his best to ignore him.

A gentleman. Dirk was amazing.

Another winning set of guests. Joanna Lumley is a dream.

Johanna is a stunner

Had a huge crush on Dirk when I was young ( im the exact same age as Joanna Lumley to the day). Also the first film I saw of his was Tale of Two Citirs. Instant adoration of this handsome man. Loved this interview.

I remember Dirk Bogarde as Dr.Simon Sparrow and also A Tale of Two Cities

Arthur was lovely funny man , Dirk seemed happy I think a whiskey was taken before this interview,

A pleasure

One of are late great actors ,my favourite film is hot enough for June, and so long at the fair (even though he had a small part) Paul

The Blue Lamp was his best movie he shot George Dixon.

My love...Sydney Dirk Carton....I m here for you since 16 I m in love with you

Dirk Bogart, very secretive .

I agree with Dirk’s views on the French. I’m an Irishman who has lived in England for years who also speaks French and I’m afraid the image he gives of those English people who visit France is embarrassingly accurate. The majority make next to no effort to even attempt the language.

Great film Fassbinder “Despair “

Totally agree, fantastic persona for a chat show host

He sure had personal issues.

his ego is enormous

As a child I thought Dirk was great but watching many interviews later in life I think he was a most unpleasant person.

Have you read "A Particular Friendship"? A book of letters he wrote to an American lady who used to own his house. I think his personality comes out more there, and his cynicism about fame. But he comes across more human - a nice book.

Like many of his generation who had first hand experience of the War he didn't suffer fools or fame gladly.

I never realised at the time , how brittle and, dare I say, effeminate, Dirk Bogarde was. I loved some of his work and enjoyed his autobiographies. I'm local to the areas he describes from childhood. I share those childhood memories of cliff and sea. I find it hard to watch him being interviewed as he seems so brittle and quick to take offence. Perhaps it was partly nerves;he hated interviews.

@@majordolbyscat He trusted Russell Harty and those interviews are sensitive and revealing. I s'pose I'm just viewing him from a different time in my life. I also dislike his contempt for his own country. But the changes he'd witnessed were seismic, so I can understand his horror. Having said all that, I shall watch "A Tale of Two Cities" tonight. To my shame..I've never seen it! Thank you for all the wonderful uploads.!

They are anti social ,rude and most of them have Napoleon Complex. Anything if is French it is the best!!! A bit annoying at first ,then you learn to ignore it.
