@@thewomble1509 whenever the world stop making sense I come back here. Knowing the big C took out this bigoted man with the hugely disproportionate head brings a smile to my face.
@@ticketyboo2456 I take your point. He was a gifted writer and knew his way around a menu but he also had a lot of help getting to where he got. having a father who worked in TV production and being married to amber Rudd did him no harm.
"Mutton dressed as yack " was a bit harsh towards Vordeman (Caroll) but Germans - people of the forest and linguistic and phonetic typewriters thrown down concrete stairwells still typing on aluminum foil - spot on.
What a wonderful world of free speech we live in. But don't abuse a man for his views or failings after his death. Have the guts to challenge him when he can still challenge your views.
Paul Madgin this idiot could have all the time in the world to respond to the most simple question, and fail to give a answer that is even somewhat logical, don't stoop to his idiotic level.
Reading " Pour me" His words knit together insight , wit, writing about art as someone who studied art, funny and literate. Firm but fair! You will be missed.
@@user-oo8xp2rf1k Can I fight? Physically or verbally?I would say yes to both but just fists, no knives or any other cowardly bolox. I can think too, hence my enquiry as to your obvious hatred of mr Gill.
@@thewomble1509 I can't remember the beginning of this thread or remember the video and have no idea who he is. So will take your word for it that i said something foolish. And am happy to disown whatever I said earlier. Was genuinely curious when I spotted your recent comment. Good to hear you can fight. It justifies the bravado and makes it look less trollish.
I am beginning to see why he was disliked,sadly. The awkward start when he knew perfectly well what was being asked but it was the end that was revealing. The split second that the 5 minutes were up he was up and would have been away without, even, a handshake had Matthew not extended his hand to him.
Shameful things said here by a minority of contributors. I love free speech - listening to AA Gill is what a few delicate flowers just have to get used to.
@@ticketyboo2456 so the fact that someone you don't like/agree with/never knew has passed on to a horrible disease, you are happy about that? That this fella was a scourge to humanity. What a horrible thing to suggest.
His book Pour me a life is actually one of the single best pieces of writing that has ever graced a page.
Just picked it up again. superbly written.
Yes, it was. Extraordinary. He didn’t waste a word.

AA Gill - a trooper !
"I wasn't artistic, I just went to Switzerland..." Hahaha
miss this guy. his TV criticism in the 90s was essential reading. wish they'd put out an anthology
People who can, do; people who can't, critique.
no
@@jsuisdetrop yes
Brilliant writer . ✔️
I do so love this man
RIP
I agree..brilliant!
I knew there was a parallel chord in there somewhere - artschool environment to epic writer in spite of being sylexic and "Other".
The man who does these programs is brilliant. He should do more TV but I don't see him much on it. Wonder what he does now.
His Jewish Father was a Knight and his Grandad was a renowned Concert Pianist so don;t worry about him.
He actually did 220 of these.
He sometimes hosts a show on LBC now
He died in 2016 of lung cancer.
He's in warmer climes now
@@Isleofskye Matt Stadlen lives in a £4m house in Notting Hill, where he was brought up. His father was a High Court judge.
that first question was so dumb
Should be a movie made about this man if they find the right actor. Maybe one day.
W Bertie could one actor really muster enough smug English arrogance?
Nicholas Hoult might be a shout.

Your name, by law, is whatever you choose to be called
never heard of him before until a news break in New Zealand stories. Tbh I don't like his snotty attitude the end.
K W he was loved in the UK in the same way as COVID,
what a terrible interview!
Nothing to do with the interviewer though
I am so glad Gill smoked 60 cigarettes a day.
What why
@@sevans606 See what it led to.
On this occasion I'd say cancer was a good thing.
excuse me
@@hunterhemingway3477 Cancer. Dead. Nuff said.
