This is glorious! What a joy to see Arthur Marshall in full flow, a laugh in every line - and with the brilliant Mavis Nicholson, the best telly interviewer we ever had, in my opinion. More Arthur Marshall please!
Dead right about the wonderful Mavis - I so wish there was a DVD of her work instead of all that Parkinson crap.
@@ysgol3 Hear hear
I wish England was like that now.
Haha Guess who's hellbent in demolishing it.
We need more sweet people like him in the world. . . Delightful 😊
RIP Mavis, by far the best TV interviewer we've ever had,
I just love these old interviews with him
Lovely to hear the lovely Arthur Marshall
I loved Arthur as a Kid and forgot all about him until now. Wow, this is great and I agree with the younger me, Arthur is a force of nature.
Arthur Marshall was a national treasure.
Camp as Christmas, and all the better for it - much missed.
Arthur Marshall, MBE (10 May 1910 - 27 January 1989) was a British writer, raconteur and broadcaster,[1] born in Barnes, London[2] in the UK. He was best known as a team captain on the BBC's Call My Bluff.
Yes remember well.
He was a Dunkirk Veteran
Dear Arthur Marshall! I always loved him, but his remarks on P. G. Wodehouse sealed the deal. Any admirer of the Master is OK with me. Plus Arthur had the most endearing laugh.
Listening in jan 2024 ( lovely man / great interview) and full of humour .
Both good people. What happened to Television?
Fabulously fantastic
Isn't he delightful!
Treasurable!
Yes indeed, I've only recently found a few videos with him.
crystalheart9 lol yes he is! Lol
We viewed his house in Devon after he died. A lovely cottage but needed alot of modernising. We would have liked to live in Christow. It never happened
I always had a crush on Mavis Nicholson.She is as appealing as I remember from when I was 7.
Hats off to the editor who signed him up for The New Statesman in the 70s. There was always a gloomy Trot writing in to complain about this ‘bourgeois’ columnist, but most of us loved him. He must have met The Hitch and Martin Amis! Amazing, adorable man.
He was a good friend of Larry Grayson❤❤
I wonder what he’d think about the price of a stamp these days. They’re also trying to get out of delivering post on Saturdays now.
Treasure
A wonderful old gossip.....lol
منور يا جون
It's a delight to hear someone speaking so fluently on the television. But essentially he is a very self-centred man, and this rather takes the gilt off the gingerbread.
I suppose I can understand why you might think that, but he did live on his own and he was paid to give his opinions, both written & in person, and his opinions were loved, so how else do you expect him to sound? Public figures generally do behave like this, so pointing out Marshall in this way does seem a little odd, and frankly I don't find it that pronounced, as I'm interested in his opinions about life or himself either way!
I always remember him being quite an affable chap; however, in this interview he comes across as a moaning pain in the arse.
Yes I used to to enjoy him but the more I learn about his political leanings the more I go off him.
@@Omnicient. Snap, Omni !
@@Omnicient. I wonder what they were?
@@Omnicient. So you like someone until you realise that they don't agree with you, not a good way to be.
A grumpy old man complaining like a grumpy old woman.
