An exceptional presenter and a thoroughly decent man. For me, his tenure on Newsnight stands out as the best of his work. We'll never forget that famous Michael Howard interview. Thanks Mr Paxman ❤ 😊
I reccommend Paxman's 2001 book, "The Political Animal", a most entertaining, enlightening and at times sympathetic look at the lives of politicians and why in nearly every case, a political life is destined to end in failure.
haha i never thought paxman was wrong to treat politicians the way he does but then after the points he made at 0:27 and 0:50 i began to see his point even tho he is showing remorse at the time lol
@hirvi93 They're poppies. In the UK we have poppy day every November to pay tribute to all our past and present servicemen & women. Do you have anything similar in Finland? :)
Its not like overseas people have that option. and I lived in the UK for 10 years and paid it then. Just sux there is no option to have it via satellite or something :(
Jeremy Paxman seems to be the only honest being within the ... well, entire British media industry. He's just so above show business that whenever he does it, he can't help but speak of how he felt about it (to whomever asks). THAT'S what it is with him! It's not that he's got something up his ass. He's weighty and intimidating because his soul still remains ... all the while, everyone else's is missing in the depths of hell, leaving behind the husks to work from muscle memory.
There are always commentators on University Challenge who say Mr Paxman's rude, etc., etc., etc., and that they hate him, etc., etc., etc. I've watched a lot of UC episodes and have never ever found him even remotely rude, etc. Always friendly, polite, and above all, never patronising, meaning that he teases the contestants a bit, and they take it for what it is, while there's always some w*nker commenting who gets her/his knickers in a twist.
This is the Catch 22 the BBC is in: the British public pay for content via the licence fee. The BBC are not a commercial broadcaster and therefore cannot sell it's content online via subscription, otherwise it's unfair on other commercial broadcasters, who don't get the licence fee money. This means the BBC's has make sure most of its online content stays in UK for the people who paid for it. For ex-pats like myself, it's incredibly annoying, I would pay, but they wont let me. So piracy wins!
Hmm, strange that my first thought when there was a bang and she fell to the ground was that the next line would be "but she was shot by a terrorist on her way to the polling station". I guess that's enough of an indictment of our current foreign policy..
BBC worldwide and the British Broadcasting corp are separate entities. One is corporate, one is public service. They share content but one is able to generate revenue using advertising. Google it. That is why there is a 'fucking advertisement on this video'
I would like to see Jeremy Paxman, Alan Rickman, David Dimbleby and Marco Pierre White run on to an American chat show and swan about ostentatiously without saying a word
Just to say when I briefly met Paxman many moons ago, he was very polite, respectful and humble, actually a nice chap.

Nice to see the juxtaposition of the two greatest interviewers of all time, Jeremy Paxman and Alan Partridge.
He's about the only person in the BBC that has got any bollocks.
Good on you, and he shouldn't feel any remorse!
lol
JP is really among the most incisive, intelligent and thoughtful journalists out there
Excellent!

He seems to be quite the inspiration for Aaron Sorkin when he wrote "The Newsroom".
Paxman does not ask questions which politicians are trying to hide
Paxman rocks!
Paxman is a cool guy.
Who's here after the latest revelation?
What revelation? Jeremy's illness?
no, one is a non-entity...the other is a deeply intelligent man...paxman
Wow, a side to him I never saw: a funny, not entirely serious side.
Dry fella, Paxman, an ironist.
haha i never thought paxman was wrong to treat politicians the way he does but then after the points he made at 0:27 and 0:50 i began to see his point even tho he is showing remorse at the time lol
I wonder if Parky threatened to overrule him!
Does anyone else see the similarity between Paxman and Simon Cowell?!
The way they talk, attitudes, once-in-a-blue-moon-smile/laugh -- twins!
xD
yeah for sure!
@hirvi93 They're poppies. In the UK we have poppy day every November to pay tribute to all our past and present servicemen & women. Do you have anything similar in Finland? :)
yeah why is there advertising. maybe its youtube who are doing the bizzle.
To me Jeremy Paxman is the greatest Englishman of our age.
Because it's BBC Worldwide - commercially funded and doesn't use any of the Licence Fee.
good analysis lol
richard jackson, webster griffin tarpley, paul rogers,noam chomsky
I would love to see that spitting image sketch.
I widh there was a Paxman in Spain, or in every country for that matter.
execuse me im finnish but what are those red stickers on their jackets?

It's BBC Worldwide, distinct from the domestic entity since it operates exclusively abroad, which explains its presence on TH-cam

@Ellie8969 No we dont have. Thanks for the information!
God Paxman looks exactly like Alan Partridge here!!
Reminds me a bit of Richard gere
@kealyc Nobody would be expecting that.
Paxman...Prime Minister
Exactly - let's see Cowell be subjected to an interview by Paxo. 14-0 would be my bet
its because you dont pay the TV license
paxman rules
i'd make him PM !!
mind you, though i fully agree.... bbc worldwide is a private entity and allowed to advertise.
