BBC Interview Research


BBC Interview Research

·      What is your favorite interview and why?
My favorite interview was Martin Luther King Jr. Playing a part in achieving equality he is a inspiring and influential person, hearing his opinions and ambitions were really interesting. He gave long, comprehensive answers to the questions he was asked in the interview. The setting of Martin Luther Kings interview room were dull as the focus was solely on him, a bright and detailed background would not of suited this interview. A lot of rhetorical questions were asked in this interview.
 


·      What is your least favorite interview and why?
My least favorite interview were Sir David Frost interview the Prime Minister at the time that was, Tony Blaire. I felt that this interview dragged on a lot and did not really catch my attention. I didn’t really take any interest in what was being asked or the answers, which were being given as i feel that the interviewer was to formal which made the interview seem a lot more boring for partially my age group.


·      What is the best question out of all the interviews you watched and why?
The best question out of all the interviews I watched was when Martin Luther King was asked, confidence in yourself do you feel adequate enough to represent black people? This is because it was a very deep and meaning for question to be asked and Martin Luther King answered in


·      And the worst?
The worst question in my opinion which was asked was from Alan Whicker who asks the billionaire Paul Getty ‘ Millionaires seem to be heavily handed captain as the search for domestic happiness, do you have much aptitude or instinct for family life?” you would expect from a question like that you would receive a long, detailed answer, however the answer given was “ I like to think I’m average” this was a very blunt answer to receive if you was an interviewer and the rest of the interview seem to be very disapproving.


·      What is the funniest response? What question prompted it?
I didn’t really find any of the responses that funny however David Attenborough told a funny story which involved gorillas, he had the whole audience listening in and joining in with his comical story.



·      What is the most emotional response? What question prompted it?
the interview with Joan Crawford seemed the most emotional as it almost came across as if they were acting, they were very close on the set as they had their arms wrapped round each other to show there closeness.

·      Who is your favorite interviewer and why?
My favorite interviewer is Sir David Frost as I felt that he always asked the right questions to his interviewees and by this he always got the right responses back. I feel that the interview with  Muhammad  Ali ' Training for Rumble in the Jungle' was one of his best interviews, the questions which he asked were funny and i feel that the interview was informal but not to informal like general conversation.
