Great to finally hear the interview in full!

They don’t make them like Ustinov anymore! 👍

Peter Ustinov god bless him was a talented genius and his impersonations of people he knew were outstanding. I could listen to him for hours and always looked forward to him appearing on talk shows especially Parky. We will never see a man with his talent again.

Peter Ustinov should be declared a "World Treasure"!!!

Peter Ustinov was a unique treasure, I wish more of his interviews - especially full Parkinson interviews were available with the visuals as his expressions were so much part of his storytelling.

Thanks for sharing this. It is longer than the ones with visuals.
A brilliant man and a class interviewer.

I like the fact that the band played the theme from Peter and the Wolf as he made his entrance.
Ustinov is always fun to listen to.
Thanks for posting.

As a.... portly youth I saw the film ' Death on the Nile. Not only did I feel privileged to see the masterpiece on the silver screen, I had found my very first Idol. I researched everything Ustinov. I want(ed) to BE this genius when I grew (grow) up

Priceless entertainment!
RIP Sir Peter Ustinov

Peter gives SO much ,
in conversations.  
His storytelling is
so entertaining😊,
And yet, still can
be absolutely
serious about
UNICEF, etc.
I read his book,
" Dear Me", and have
just found a recording
Peter reading it,
on YouTube😊📖.
Recommended.👍.

With Dudley Moore at 60 minutes is glorious.

And to think what horrible conditions duddly moore died under it just so sad.

Hé would bé so angry to see thé depths of depravity that the UN has fallen to.

Is there a visual of this interview.  Would love to see all of Mr Ustinov's expressions - they are so deliciously funny.

Compare a raconteur like Peter Ustinov to some of the self-promoting nonentities paraded before us on today's chat shows.  Will Graham Norton never run out of second rate mimes  pontificating  about their latest roles?

Why is this just audio when it was filmed in a TV Studio?

I suggest 1977 or maybe 1978 for this broadcast, given his autibiography was published in 1977

I love audio, and am an ardent admirer of Ustinov, but why do media celebrities ((incl interviewer) feel the need or compulsion to say "I mean" or "of course" at least once in every second sentence? It was disappointing to say the least that someone as eloquent as Ustinov could not resist the practice. I wonder if anyone had the fortitude to point it out to him.

Well that was very annoying what on earth watching it not seeing him in person, stupid

Great Actor! Sad that Now All the Oskar Winners ARE very LOW  TALENTED and even without Education! So we can explain why for these actors is More Important HOW THEY ARE DRESSED !!! We have to change the level of appreciation.
