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! 🙏🏿💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
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.
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).
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.
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.! 😆
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
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!
Brilliant interview, love Trevor, he was awesome back when journalists were actually journalists. Imagine interviewing Hussain and Mandela, that's quite a resume.
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.
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.
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.
@@libertasdemocratiam887 agreed but there's only one of him. Who are the gentlemen OP is thanking?
I’ve always liked Trevor McDonald. He comes across as a lovely man and he has an authoritative voice that people listen to.
Who doesn't love Sir Trevor? A real National Treasure.
Well overrated
What a national treasure this gentleman is 🫡 sir Trevor
Trevor such a brilliant broadcaster
Tonight with Trevor McDonald was one of the greatest feature shows in British history. Absolute legend!
Nonsense
@@fidgetspinner343 O...K...
Trevor McDonald, Peter Sissons and Moira Stewart, people who reported the facts and let you make up your own mind…..those were the days!
@@richardgallagher4880can you write a real sentence please??
@@richardgallagher4880 - You need to learn write proper English.
@@richardgallagher4880idiot
I'd love to see Sir Trevor on gbnews going forward, even just as a panelist. What a legend!

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
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
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.
Trevor Mcdonald fantastic bloke...
I'd love to be able to to rewind time to when this guy graced our screens. He made me care about news reporting.
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
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 ❤
Fantastic man
excellent interview
Trevor McDonald - Legend.
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! 🙏🏿💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Love Sir Trevor 💕
"I live in a mixed marriage", "Is your wife Catholic?", "No, she's white." Classic
Why was this so short!!? Love these two geezas!

"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.

You're zipping through the discussion points, was hoping for a much longer interview
where can you watch this full show outside of the UK?
brilliant segment with two of Britains finest. Your work goes unnoticed
I really enjoyed watching and listening to this. Thank you.
Great interview, thanks!!
Must have been hard for him to report on South Africa in the 80's a true gentleman ❤
Nice to see Trev still knocking about…. 😀

Ok great interview, but the nuns in the background LOL why?

Thank you Sir.
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.
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
He was such a good newsreader
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.!
😆
a fantastic news reporter. Delivered straight facts
2 extremely intellectual men,enjoyed listening to that,thankyou.🤓🙏
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.
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
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
Shout out Trever McDonald - has interviewed some of the most important figures of the 20th century.
Sir Trevor is a gentleman and a national treasure.
Trevor McDonald is a class act!
Really good interview we ❤ Sir McDonald 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲😎😎
I saw him on the tube one day around 7am. It was 2010. He’s very tall
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!
Such a wonderful man is Sir Trevor McDonald
Back when news was respected and respectable. (I’m 37 yrs old, so no dinosaur here with rose tinted glasses)
What the heck is going on with the set
I have no idea why they all have to fake their conversations 😂😂
Brilliant interview, love Trevor, he was awesome back when journalists were actually journalists. Imagine interviewing Hussain and Mandela, that's quite a resume.
Nelson Mandela sounded like such a noble man.
This is so wonderful both legends ❤
Two British legends! 🏴
Reminds me of TISWAS , remember that ? Good old Trevor Mc Doughnut ...all good clean fun !
Trevor has that Des Lynam smoothness
Trevor looks incredible for 84! Twenty years younger at least!
Must have been pretty scary with Tony Blair too... if he only knew
Back when the mainstream was mainstream.
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! 😻
What a wonderful man Trevor is. A true pro
I was just wondering which masonic lodge they were sitting in belonged to.
2 legend's I love jon cleese so much thanks for monty python
Love Sir Trevor 🏴
What an absolute G
Why knitting nuns?
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.
Saddam dissed him right at the beginning
I keep seeing this type of comment. Do people expect Saddam to be a stand up guy?
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.
The Catholics don't march in Protestant areas during 'Marching season'
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?
Sir Trevor. What a gent he is
Absolute ICON
Was this filmed in a dark souls boss room? damn
The statesman news man
Amazing part of gb news. 2 nation treasure
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.
Why are random nuns drinking and knitting in the background 😅😅
It's definitely a Cleese thing, a Monty Python thing
Wow he is still alive
Living legend
Why is John Cleese interviewing him? Why are their men in bowler hats and nuns in the background?
More quality content from GB news 🙄🤦♂️
The fucks going on with this set?
Trever Mc donut is a leg end x.
... in his own lunchtime
If Mandela was only alive today to see what has become of his party and the state of South Africa he wouldn’t be happy.
OMGOSH I wish this interview would just be quiet and let him finish speaking!🤦🏼♀️
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
