Trevor MacDonald has one of the best voices in TV. I’ve always adored this man, from when i was a kid. I used to watch News At Ten purely for him. The man is a National Treasure. 😍❤️ There was no opinion with Trevor, he just reported.
I absolutely love history and learning daily! While I'm American and can't claim him on a national level...thank you Britain for loaning the world such an esteemed man and thank you Mr. Trevor for being just that! 🙏🏿💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Just to correct the record, Mandela's eye problems were not a result of being damaged by "splinters" from the rocks he broke on Robben Island. They were damaged by the sun's reflective glare from the lime stone in the quarry. Much like the damage from snow. A number of prison guards working on Robben Island suffered the same malady.
Thanks, the splinter answer didn't quite make sense to me, however this answer makes much more sense since too much sun glare can degenerate the eye and cause it to see ''splinters'' in its field of vision (types of distortions where they looked into the sun return when they see bright lights again).
brilliant interview. thoroughly enjoyed.! 😉☺️😊😄 ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻 * my granny was a mick and my grandad was a proddie worked out a treat for them . 60 yrs they were married.! 😆
Black guy, in media, but you know he loves England, not bitter, that's why we love him. Not like today, they are bitter and hate the Country, especially in the BBC. I'm surprised if he even sees Race.
As a child in the 90's coming from a mixed race family ? I never seen his skin colour... he was never a token. He was the news guy, who told the news the best, who reported on actual facts he found out! He went investigating the answers. There is a reason he is now a Sir. And he damn well earned it. Thank Sir! Thank you for being the true principle of being British!
It is refreshing to hear positivity surrounding Madiba, Nelson Mandela, since in South Africa today, the very people he dedicated his life to are calling him a sell out & other despicable things. And there lies the juxtaposition, the ones that fought the fight came out positive and human, the ones who got the freedom of that struggle doing absolutely nothing, are coming out full of bitterness & hate, with no serious discussions only destruction. I weep for my country, because we are such a warm & welcoming nation & there was a time where it looked like we would be a solid example for the rest of the world. Thank you Sir.
Never heard of Trevor McDonald, but looks intriguing to me, he must have been reporting years before I was born, he should go on GB News as a presenter
Brilliant interview, love Trevor, he was awesome back when journalists were actually journalists. Imagine interviewing Hussain and Mandela, that's quite a resume.
This show is so refreshing. Love John Cleese anyway. But as far as television goes here in the States, nobody's got the attention span these days for genuine thought-provoking conversation. (although this did move along at pretty fast clip). What a novel idea!
Love Sir Trevor. I wish he'd been able to talk at his leisure re Saddam & Mandela interviews. Fascinating insights. The Robin Island Prisoners quarried rocks in all weathers, no sunglasses or protective eyewear. The glare alone damaged their eyesight.
Nelson Mendela comment is really interesting. Mendela chose that life, and at some point, you have to know, especially being dedicated to so much non-violent resistance, that he did not do it for ego, he chose prison, he chose, suffering, and in the end they acheive victory and won the world. Very christ-like behavior.
I right clicked a little over a minute into the interview when the host cut in on what the guest was saying which was interesting to hear comments coming from someone who has been in the media for that long. I'm a fan of John's humour but he's not a great interviewer.

You were never just a token Sir, you were a well spoken, well respected reporter. Thank you gentlemen.
Alright, let's not overdo it.
@@koleberdinoch926he is, I'd happily have him on gbnews more often.

Traitor
I’ve always liked Trevor McDonald. He comes across as a lovely man and he has an authoritative voice that people listen to.
What a national treasure this gentleman is 🫡 sir Trevor
Who doesn't love Sir Trevor? A real National Treasure.
Well overrated
I'd love to see Sir Trevor on gbnews going forward, even just as a panelist. What a legend!
Tonight with Trevor McDonald was one of the greatest feature shows in British history. Absolute legend!
Nonsense
@@fidgetspinner343 O...K...
Trevor such a brilliant broadcaster

Trevor McDonald is nearly 85. Very sharp and articulate
Very distinguished & accomplished news presenter who is highly respected.....
I wonder what he thinks of GB news & friends?
Priceless......
No doubt he thinks you’re a scum-bum.
He obviously liked them enough to make an appearance
Wow, never thought I’d see these two talk. Cool stuff.
Trevor McDonald what a Legend :)
100 percent
What a wonderfully eloquent and thoughtful man
Saddam destroyed him with his first answer in that interview “ IS IT A BRITISH THING “
one thing and it was the 1st question then saddam spoke shit about kuwait so plz tell me how that ejit got destroyed from the hung ejit
I absolutely love history and learning daily! While I'm American and can't claim him on a national level...thank you Britain for loaning the world such an esteemed man and thank you Mr. Trevor for being just that! 🙏🏿💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
The background extras are like something out of Monty Python
I met Sir Trevor when he filmed a documentary where I was employed at the Indiana State Prison. He is the definition of a true gentleman.
Legendary cadence.
Good to see Sir Trevor on the telly again and enjoying his retirement.
Awwww I've missed his wee face and voice!!
Such an incredible speaker ❤
John kept interrupting Trevor to ask questions. Made me cringe.
No he didn't. Sir Trevor spoke for at least 80% of the interview. John is the interviewer aswell. He has to ask questions. Hardly piers morgan
I'd love to be able to to rewind time to when this guy graced our screens. He made me care about news reporting.
Trevor McDonald - Legend.
Trevor Mcdonald fantastic bloke...
Fantastic man
excellent interview
Love Sir Trevor 💕
Why was this so short!!? Love these two geezas!
brilliant segment with two of Britains finest. Your work goes unnoticed
You're zipping through the discussion points, was hoping for a much longer interview
Trevor Mcdonald is a legend
Nice to see Trev still knocking about…. 😀
Thank you Sir Trevor!
I really enjoyed watching and listening to this. Thank you.
Great interview, thanks!!
"I live in a mixed marriage", "Is your wife Catholic?", "No, she's white." Classic

Must have been hard for him to report on South Africa in the 80's a true gentleman ❤
brilliant interview.
thoroughly enjoyed.!
😉☺️😊😄
✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻
* my granny was a mick
and
my grandad was a proddie
worked out a treat for them .
60 yrs they were married.!
😆
2 extremely intellectual men,enjoyed listening to that,thankyou.🤓🙏
He was such a good newsreader
a fantastic news reporter. Delivered straight facts

"I'm surprised if he even sees Race" What does that even mean?
@@BigBillKelly-x2zit means that he doesn’t mention people’s skin colour every two minutes like most media corporations
@@crazytrain216 So like the opposite to just about every other black man then... That's a refreshing change.
This interview has some interesting moments, but why on earth is it filmed in such a daft setting? Detracts from the weight of what is being said.

He was the news guy, who told the news the best, who reported on actual facts he found out! He went investigating the answers. There is a reason he is now a Sir. And he damn well earned it.

Sir Trevor is a gentleman and a national treasure.
What the heck is going on behind Trevor? Looks better bizarre.
It's just a pair off nuns playing poker and knitting what's your point
Such a wonderful man is Sir Trevor McDonald
What the heck is going on with the set
I have no idea why they all have to fake their conversations 😂😂
where can you watch this full show outside of the UK?
I saw Trevor outside Landsdown Road Dublin reporting on the Ireland vs Northern Ireland game back in the 80s some serious tension at that game
Really good interview we ❤ Sir McDonald 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲😎😎
Why are there people dressed up in the background? Am I missing something?
Atmosphere
It's monty pythonesque
It's John Cleese by the way. Haven't seen the cats yet, eh? 😻
They're nuns goddammit.
It is refreshing to hear positivity surrounding Madiba, Nelson Mandela, since in South Africa today, the very people he dedicated his life to are calling him a sell out & other despicable things.
And there lies the juxtaposition, the ones that fought the fight came out positive and human, the ones who got the freedom of that struggle doing absolutely nothing, are coming out full of bitterness & hate, with no serious discussions only destruction.
I weep for my country, because we are such a warm & welcoming nation & there was a time where it looked like we would be a solid example for the rest of the world.
Thank you Sir.
Trevor McDonald is a class act!
This is so wonderful both legends ❤
Shout out Trever McDonald - has interviewed some of the most important figures of the 20th century.
Ok great interview, but the nuns in the background LOL why?
Nelson Mandela sounded like such a noble man.
Never heard of Trevor McDonald, but looks intriguing to me, he must have been reporting years before I was born, he should go on GB News as a presenter
I saw him on the tube one day around 7am. It was 2010. He’s very tall
What a wonderful man Trevor is. A true pro
Two British legends! 🏴
Reminds me of TISWAS , remember that ? Good old Trevor Mc Doughnut ...all good clean fun !
Brilliant interview, love Trevor, he was awesome back when journalists were actually journalists. Imagine interviewing Hussain and Mandela, that's quite a resume.
This show is so refreshing. Love John Cleese anyway. But as far as television goes here in the States, nobody's got the attention span these days for genuine thought-provoking conversation. (although this did move along at pretty fast clip). What a novel idea!
Trevor has that Des Lynam smoothness
Back when news was respected and respectable. (I’m 37 yrs old, so no dinosaur here with rose tinted glasses)
Why knitting nuns?
Love Sir Trevor 🏴
What is the idea with this insane set?
You must be new. Haven't seen the cats yet, eh? C'mon, it's John Cleese! 😻
Trevor looks incredible for 84! Twenty years younger at least!
Must have been pretty scary with Tony Blair too... if he only knew
2 legend's I love jon cleese so much thanks for monty python
What an absolute G
Saddam dissed him right at the beginning
I keep seeing this type of comment. Do people expect Saddam to be a stand up guy?
I was just wondering which masonic lodge they were sitting in belonged to.
Back when the mainstream was mainstream.
The fucks going on with this set?
Sir Trevor. What a gent he is
The Catholics don't march in Protestant areas during 'Marching season'
Absolute ICON
If only gb news has news presenters like him and not the crass ones they have
What's the purpose of the nuns in the background?
Love Sir Trevor. I wish he'd been able to talk at his leisure re Saddam & Mandela interviews. Fascinating insights.
The Robin Island Prisoners quarried rocks in all weathers, no sunglasses or protective eyewear. The glare alone damaged their eyesight.
Amazing part of gb news. 2 nation treasure
The statesman news man
Was this filmed in a dark souls boss room? damn
Nelson Mendela comment is really interesting.

Very christ-like behavior.
Why are random nuns drinking and knitting in the background 😅😅
It's definitely a Cleese thing, a Monty Python thing
OMGOSH I wish this interview would just be quiet and let him finish speaking!🤦🏼♀️
Why is John Cleese interviewing him? Why are their men in bowler hats and nuns in the background?
More quality content from GB news 🙄🤦♂️
Wow he is still alive
Living legend
I right clicked a little over a minute into the interview when the host cut in on what the guest was saying which was interesting to hear comments coming from someone who has been in the media for that long. I'm a fan of John's humour but he's not a great interviewer.
Trever Mc donut is a leg end x.
... in his own lunchtime
Why are there nuns knitting in the background when though lol, why can’t they just do a normal interview?
His blue eyes are so pretty
If I was Sir Trevor, I would be a little uneasy with fake nuns behind doing synchronised motions
I love this man
