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.
Here is a link to some of the visual representations of these interviews. They aren't complete, but at least it's something! ua-cam.com/video/SfxxEfdmn_Y/v-deo.html
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.
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
Figarohey : Exactly my thought ! There may be one somewhere...🤔 Dudley was so funny doing his impressions of Opera : " Die Flabbergast " was SO good. And with Peter, here , they were both improvising in a wonderfully effective way : how many of the current " celebrities" could do the same ?🤔 Dudley's suffering was heartbreaking, especially for such a gifted musician.🎼🎹💙 🇬🇧⭐🎼🎹💙🌈🇬🇧
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 UA-cam😊📖. Recommended.👍. 🇬🇧⭐💙🦉🎼🌈🇬🇧
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?
@@lovingsongs1762 I guess if a huge organisation like U.N degenerates, there's not much one person can do, except Whistle-Blow, perhaps....🤔😢 Years ago, U.N. seemed like a " toothless old buffalo "...😢 In what ways has it declined ? 🤔 Is there corruption ?

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.
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.
in order to fit in at school, Peter picked up the English idioms probably to a fault, trying to be absolutely as English as possible ( Including those little conversational tics that you mention). He had a miserable time at school, they teased him thinking his name was German not Russian. This was just after World War One.
I thought that surely Ustinov would rise above the British outright refusal to pronounce foreign words corrrectly. ( For example, Don Juan is called Don Jew-un by the British. Ugh. The entire world knows how to pronounce Don Juan.). But no. When he referred to Don Quixote as Don Qwix-ott my hopes were dashed. And if you’re British, FYI: Quixote is a Spanish name, and Cervantes’s world famous character, for centuries now. . The name is pronounced Kee-ho-tay.
The poster probably probably tried to add it but couldn't or copyright reasons. At least you can hear it so enjoy it and don't be moaning. You can see clips of this interview from another UA-cam upload that was part of a documentary of his interviews with Parkinson broadcast in 2005.
This was broadcast around 1977. It was most probably recorded on reel-to-reel or cassette tape. Lie back, close your eyes and visualise it for yourself. [Another Aussie in Aussie]
if ww2 had not happened we would not have lost India if we had not lost India Pakistan would never have been created. and if Pakistan had not been created this country would not be full of legal or illegal immigrants sucking the blood from this country (and p,s it has nothing to do with race its to do with why they come here)

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

Great to finally hear the interview in full!
Peter Ustinov should be declared a "World Treasure"!!!
As far as I’m concerned, he is!!!!
I'm sitting here laughing at the opera bit and wishing I could see it. Fabulous.
Figarohey :
Exactly my thought !
There may be one
somewhere...🤔
Dudley was so funny
doing his impressions
of Opera : " Die
Flabbergast " was SO good.
And with Peter, here ,
they were both
improvising in a
wonderfully effective
way : how many of the
current " celebrities"
could do the same ?🤔
Dudley's suffering was
heartbreaking, especially
for such a gifted
musician.🎼🎹💙
🇬🇧⭐🎼🎹💙🌈🇬🇧
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 UA-cam😊📖.
Recommended.👍.
🇬🇧⭐💙🦉🎼🌈🇬🇧
They don’t make them like Ustinov anymore! 👍
With Dudley Moore at 60 minutes is glorious.
Priceless entertainment!
RIP Sir Peter Ustinov
TY Michael Parkinson
And to think what horrible conditions duddly moore died under it just so sad.

Peter Ustinov would have been brilliant on Graham Norton's Show.
Hé would bé so angry to see thé depths of depravity that the UN has fallen to.
I'm surprised that he didn't KNOW the UN would become the cesspool that it's become. He must have been quite an optimist.

I guess if a huge
organisation like
U.N degenerates,
there's not much
one person can do,
except Whistle-Blow,
perhaps....🤔😢
Years ago, U.N. seemed
like a " toothless

In what ways has it
declined ? 🤔
Is there corruption ?
Is it in the running
to be put up as
" World Government"?
Or would that invite
Tyranny , or
takeover , by a
Theocracy, perhaps ?
We've seen how
top-heavy
Bureaucracy
in E.U. is
counter-productive,
so what chance,
U.N. ?🤔😢🙄
Have they had a vote
telling the warmongers
in the Middle East
to STOP🔥 THEIR 🔥
MADNESS🔥, for example ?
Or is the Veto System
delaying progress ?
🇬🇧😢🦉🔥🤔🇬🇧
Is there a visual of this interview. Would love to see all of Mr Ustinov's expressions - they are so deliciously funny.
Yes. Snippets of 6?
Why is this just audio when it was filmed in a TV Studio?
probably couldn't get access to rights to rebroadcast due to copyright?
I suggest 1977 or maybe 1978 for this broadcast, given his autibiography was published in 1977
Yes I think you're correct.

At least hé doesn't use "you know" and "like"!

..unfortunately pro Churchill Propaganda... I feel sorry for Ustinov. And... I dont believe, he doesnt know the real history behind WW1 and WW2.
well he was there and should know; were you?
...and that would be ?
WHO ISNT IN AWE OF CHURCHILL HE WAS A GOD AMONGST MEN THERE IS A REASON HE,S NOW ON THE £5 NOTE
if ww2 had not happened we would not have lost India if we had not lost India Pakistan would never have been created. and if Pakistan had not been created this country would not be full of legal or illegal immigrants sucking the blood from this country (and p,s it has nothing to do with race its to do with why they come here)
1914 1922 another conspiracy theorist bullshitter. You weren't there, Ustinov was.....GET OVER YOURSELF.
I think this was from 1977, this interview is about his Autobiography Dear Me, which came out that year.
