Well apparently, Prof. Hazell’s interview was cut short at some point and they had to ask him to be a bit less aggressive. Diane Morgan (Philomena) said in an interview she felt like he wanted to throttle her! So yeah, definitely fun to go on holiday with… and most likely end up missing
He's the type of person to be utterly rigid and think his viewpoints are facts, and get really narky if anyone says anything contrary to his tenets. Let's say I have experience of a man like him lol.
Brilliant Philomena. You've done it again! You coerced Prof. Hazell into offering an alternative right there whilst you interviewed him. "Gypsy Democracy!"
Had to look this up as she said that he was the one who got angriesy out of all her interviews. Apparently he had to be held back and asked not to be so aggressive. And not hit her.
"It's like saying: 'Lets vote to leave our house without knowing where we're going to live next.' No one is going to do that" Aaaaaand we've ended up having a referendum doing exactly that one year later.
I think they all knew, and were instructed to answer as normally/seriously as possible. So he probably made the decision to be extremely deadpan, and I find it super hilarious!
They don't know it's not a proper interview (she said this on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast), sometimes they get quite aggressive.
The actress who plays philomina said in an interview that they don't know, and the guy from this episode needed to be restrained by the end of it and told to not be so aggressive towards her because the producer thought he was going to punch her cause he looked so annoyed at her questions.
You could call the professor grumpy, but am I the only one who thinks that his way of speaking is kind of similar to Tyrion Lannister (as portrayed by Peter Dinklage)?
Election day is your chance to do democracy. You don't have to stand up and be counted. You can sit down and be ignored if you like, because that's your democratic right. You can choose not to matter, and that matters if you wanted to. It's up to you.
So on Sundays the country is just a leaderless anarchy? Or does the country blink out of existence one day every week? Does she know there's 7 days in the week?
This guy was wonderful! His superb logic totally stumped her. Loved it. Great comedy, why have I missed her for so long? Was this done pre or post Brexit? OK J Mobile, I just read your post saying pre Brexit.
imagine what it would be like if a country had two leaders. Ultimate democracy? Of course there always be someone who wants the power just for him/herself. And who said we're living in democracy? I've never counted votes in my life. I've been told what the result was and I had to accept it regardless. . . The question only sounds silly because we never had alternatives.
professor of government and constitution and he never heard of sortition? which was kinda what she was asking about. i doubt they´d cut it out since one could riff off that quite nicely
He wasn't though. He got elected into parliament or whatever germans call it but he became supreme leader by hook and crook. His party never had a majority of votes, they were back burners.
It gave every person in Britain a vote, except half of them, because they didn't have penises. Which if you think about it, makes it a prick democracy.
This is so weird, but with the recent fiasco with Tory leaders leaving every five minutes, I suggested on video clips of it all with Boris Johnson and Liz Truss that they could take turns being leader and if one Tory doesn't work out put another one in the next week lol. I was serious mind. Don't think you could joke about or have a laugh with that Prof dude, he looks proper narky, like the type who hasn't been to the toilet in ages. I have to live with a guy just like him in looks and personality. Please make any donations or words of sympathy payable to Jasmine Surreal. Thanks.
Taken from another comment: "They don't know it's not a proper interview (she said this on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast), sometimes they get quite aggressive."
They have clever ways of setting these things up. And they can tell this guy he will be on the BBC because it's true, and that will make him take it seriously for at least a couple of minutes. See Da Ali G Show and Brass Eye for even more ridiculous fake interviews.

When Richard Herring interviewed Diane Morgan, she acknowledged how aggro Prof. Robert Hazell became. She was afraid he'd actually punch her.

I was going to like this, but then noticed it had 48 likes, and thought I'd leave it at that rather apt number.
I suspect that's not a coincidence.
Charlie Brooker is pretty good at predicting the future... but this was made and filmed before the EU ref was brought up.
Britain existed long before the EU did and it can do it again
Or the "Green New Deal" currently.
"These horse monster things are using their wooden head sticks in a primal battle to decide which of them should be in charge."
She said elsewhere that this guy got so angry they had to stop the interview.

Really? He's one of my favourite interviewees so far because he is SO serious and sensible which somehow fits hilariously well with her character 😂
How on earth she manages to keep a straight face when she interviews that guy, god only knows. I love her so much!!! 😂
Indeed. And how some of those (including Professor Hazell) she interviewed (as Philomena) managed to keep straight faces also, has me wondering :-)

Yep.
Revisiting this in the US, where in less than six months a sizable number of my fellow citizens will vote to end Democracy.
Next time I'll be finding out how to get the noise out of plates...🤣🤣🤣
She's brilliant. This is from May 2015. What a spectacular premonition of Brexit at 3mins 51secs (I'm hardly the first to spot this.)
He's quite patronising actually. I mean people have voted against democratic policies many times, not sure how as a professor he doesn't realise this
You're right. Hitler was elected by popular vote.
He's the type of person to be utterly rigid and think his viewpoints are facts, and get really narky if anyone says anything contrary to his tenets. Let's say I have experience of a man like him lol.
He doesn’t know the principles of “yes and”
Oh she's just so brilliant... 😂

Nice jab at Russell Brand towards the end.
Now I see it, that was quite brutal
The only plan Brand ever had was 'Monkey Government' which funnily enough he didn't dare give a breath to in the Paxman interview!
merdufer he needs more than a jab,he needs his head caved in with a sledgehammer!
