Why can't they just play the interview in full & not talk over him?
-
Rather than yammering about the video, why not just show the whole thing?
-
Who not play the entire 9 minute interview, then bring in the commentators? It's not too bright to hide the star of the show.
-
VIDEO: A lost interview with infamous Cold War spy #GuyBurgess has been found in our archives.
-
This show needs to be redone. First, play the whole thing. Then bring in a few experts, say, Christopher Andrew, Ben Macintyre and perhaps a retired MI6 officer to discuss the film rather than make short, superficial, unconnected comments. It was a terrible idea to only play about a minute and a half. A great opportunity was lost.

Next up: The scandalous story of how CBC managed to mislay footage of such importance for half a century.

Amazing. Thanks for posting
-
And of course the CBC can't be bothered to show us the interview with Burgess in its entirety.
-
Dear editor...the human eye still need more than half a second to read a name.
-
I love the "The Day Today"-style over-animated flashy name captions.
-
My mother (Canadian) worked for British Intelligence during WWII in Washington and New York City. I bet she saw this interview and had some understanding of it's implications in 1959! She'd probably get quite a rush over this if she were alive now!
-
I reckon the BBC was told to ignore it by the government of the day.
-
Britain didn't want his answers, not in public anyway.
-
8:06 Simple, they wanted to forget the whole thing, it was way too embarrassing!
-
"The Walrus" and Michael Flynn brought me here...
-
I was amused when she said the Reform was ‘once a gentleman’s’ club’. I think that some of the current members think it still is.
-
Half of this vid was taken up by sheer assessment and interrupted by people making assessment.
-
I have a signed copy of "Don't Shoot The Yanqui" by Erik Durschmied, that I picked up in a charity shop in 1996 for about £1. Brilliant book. I'd never heard of Durschmied before, but upon reading the book, I realised I had watched many of his reports and documentaries on TV all through the 1970s and early 80s.
-
Unstable? He had no trouble outwitting British intelligence did he?
-
Wish they just showed the whole interview instead of talk over it and interrupt.
