Brilliant Paul. The only honest interview on the BBC for many years.

i don't blame PG for being so angry, he must have gone through hell, hope he succeeds in exposing any undoing's - I'm tired of the BBC's arrogance lately

This man is not only a scholar of pop music and culture, this man is an example of standing up for truth and what is right! WAY TO GO PAUL

When a man makes a response like that .... you know he's defending the truth ...huge respect ! ✌✌🇬🇧🇬🇧

HURRAH ! AT LAST we find a man who stands up to the Met and the BBC ,and I sincerely hope he sues BOTH to the Hilt as they both deserve to be brought down.

Well said Paul, BBC, Police, CPS, all in it together, a national disgrace.

The BBC were right there with cameras during the Sir Cliff debacle. Paul has Every right to be incandescently angry.

My respect for Paul Gambaccini has increased exponentially.

Well done Paul Gambaccini! Eloquent, courageous and even humorous-despite being so angry at the situation. Brilliant performance, great to see a BBC 'journalist' being comprehensively owned.

Was it just me who found it so satisfying when Paul forced his point. Well done Paul.

"Never knew Pinnochio had a sister until Cressida Dick made commissioner" "I will dissect her like a frog without ether" Brilliant. Just needs some beats.

Paul Gambaccini's an inspiration. HUGE respect to this man.

Gambo. Total quality. Thank you sir.

Victoria Derbyshire and journalist shouldn't be in the same sentence.

Paul Gambaccini always came across as an articulate level headed man. The fact he reacts this way tells you everything.

The BBC hung Paul Gambaccini out to dry.

Respect to Paul Gambaccini here, if you think he's mad at the Met, BBC, etc, then multiply all that by tenfold how I and many feel about how the Covid scandal has been handled.

Respect this man who has suffered incredibly by slander - slander and lies believed by the Police and accepted as the norm. Thank heavens a High Court judge threw the whole lot out as nonsense, and the perpetrator of the lies is now well behind bars. Paul is a great man, and what he said needs to be listened to.

Always thought he cool and calm but glad to see him getting angry. 100% behind him

Mr Gambaccini please be assured that the vast majority of the British public are with you and the truth will come out.

Paul Gambaccini: “I will go head to head with Fran Unsworth in any public forum and I will dissect her like a frog, without ether.” What a cracking statement! Way to go Paul Gambaccini! Victoria Derbyshire’s response? “OK. I’ll pass your invitation on to her.”

Wow!! When you are honest your conviction about facts goes beyond imaginable, we can see in his eyes he is telling the truth. Well done Sr Paul. " No, no, no I am not having this" 😂😂😂😂

And they covered up for Saville.

Huge respect for such eloquent, controlled, passionate exposure

"We haven't come for the BBC yet, because we're doing the Met now..." - Wow, respect Paul.

That Paul was able to stifle a laugh when Derbyshire described herself as a "journalist" was also very impressive.

Articulate, intelligent, great self control. His integrity intact, professional and a gentleman. Brave too! Always loved his broadcasting style! What this man went through was deplorable!

Well done Paul Gambaccini for defending yourself.

Thank God there are still people in the limelight who are willing and able to speak out against corruption. They are the voice of the people. Not the corrupt BBC, Government and police. Thank you Paul.

What a breath of fresh air with this credible and convincing Gentleman!!!

The man who told you the truth the day Jimmy Saville died, go back and find it and listen to what he said back then, Legend.

No surprises again with a distrustful media and contemptible Police.

Fantastic, What a warrior, Paul, I admire your tenacity and sympathize with the dreadful pain you have gone through as an innocent man.

well said Paul back you all 100% do not pay for a tv licence

Brilliant Paul

He was spot on and far too good at making his point than the BBC realised

Always liked Paul, dont blame him for his anger over this.... The truth will come out, hopefully.

Well done Paul 👏

God bless you Paul, you and others have been deeply wronged with injustice and I hope you and others get justice. 🙏🏻

You go for it Paul. People like you do make a difference. Thank you!

Just the other week, thousands of people surrounded the BBC, chanting “shame on you”. It’s the beginning of the end for auntie.

How he managed to remain so eloquent and did not resort to "shouting and bawling" was very impressive. I'm not sure I could have done so if I'd had to endure 3.5 years before my name was cleared of any wrongdoing. Still can't get over how the Beeb filmed the 'raid' on Cliff Richard's home as it happened..

Brilliant, good for him!!!! Derbyshire is a pratt, lol'd so hard at the " don't shout at me" rub it up her. "dissected like a frog, without ether" fantastic quote!!

Her 'professionalism' is just a complete lack of empathy and recognition of human emotion.

Brilliant representation of your fight against those who will NOT be held responsible! Good on you Paul!

That smile when he talks about the years to come. Thats not a threat, thats a promise. Paul is like the public. We are all angry and tired of having people in power telling us how to think and do things, erasing our past, destroying our culture, deriding our victories and making us be ashamed of who we are. I hope Paul is able to fix the Met and I REALLY would like to see him come for the BBC and then come for all the other establishments. He is the hero we need.

Absolutely brilliant Paul 👏 you can almost hear Derbyshires producer screaming "get him off get him off!" 🤣🤣🤣

Well done Paul Gam it’s nice to hear someone speaking the truth on the BBC 👍

Derbyshire says she’s a journalist? When it gets hot under the collar, she reads off the script.

Dreadful woman, she shouldn’t have defended the Met, when the Met wouldn’t be interviewed along with Paul…

"I will dissect her like a frog - without ether." This is an angry but cool and intelligent man who's had enough BBC bullshit. Power to you Paul.

And these are people that have a voice - what about the normal people who get unjustly prosecuted

I wouldn’t employ Victoria Derbyshire to put out the rubbish. I’ve seen some inadequate news presenters ( I can’t use the word journalist) but she really is BAD.

I feel I owe a lot to Paul Gambaccini in so much as helping me to discover 50s, 60s and 70s music, which would have been the soundtrack of my parents' lives. I'm particularly thinking about the Top 100 albums book from the mid-late '80s. From there I became a fan of the likes of the Velvet Underground, Van Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence, Otis etc...even some Simon and Garfunkel, as well as the Pistols and the Clash. Happy memories of teenage years, where there were sunny weekends, Sunday roasts, some new, but old, records to play - to hear for the first time. Keep on Rockin'

" I never knew Pinocchio had a sister", what a splendid expression.

What an impressive guy. He manages to remain articulate even when he is so obviously blazing mad. This country needs leadership of his quality..

Frankly I never had much time for this old queen but after reluctantly reading his book about the false allegations made about him and the absolutely outrageous investigation I too was outraged and from then on I have nothing but admiration and respect for this man, his courage and fortitude during the time of his accusations was to be admired so one can understand his rapid rage when faced 8 years later with Derbyshire and her insensitive remarks.

I suspect Paul will not be invited back again for BBC interviews. GB News listening?

Well done Paul, Derbyshire had a nasty reputation many years ago at GMR (BBC Greater Manchester Radio). Good to see someone stand up to this person!!

This man was treated so shamefully. A complete disgrace: same with Sir Cliff. Utterly disgusting.

I live in Australia. I have no idea what this is about but I do know that Derbyshire has form. My inclination is to believe Mr Gambaccini until convinced otherwise. Our ABC here in Australia desperately needs someone like him to ruffle their arrogant complacency.

I love her attempt to keep cool and calm, but it's exactly that attitude she displays which angers so many people about the BBC, people like Paul are mad and rightly so

It was one of those inside evil smiles I got when I heard a few years ago on the radio that Victoria Derbyshire's show had been cancelled. Why would a normal person like me that doesn't wish ill on people think like that? That same inside smile just came out in a big evil smile watching this as like a fly caught in the web, Derbyshire had no where to go here as the likes of her type of "journalism" as she probably calls herself is the "gotcha" type. Catch people off guard, fall in to line, this is your interview but it is my interview too. I just wish more people like Gambaccini would come along and it's always the quiet ones. If you'd said Galloway or the knob that is David Lammy, you'd expect it, but Paul Gambaccini lol? Well done Paul. I grew up respecting BBC newsreaders. I knew all their names as a kid. Moira Stewart, Peter Sissons etc. People naturally respected them. The likes of Derbyshire thinks that respect is deserved. It ozzzesses off her. Even in her tone of voice. I say again, well done Paul!

How brave of him to challenge the BBC and the Met. He will now be even more sidelined, silenced and ostracised.

Go get them gambo

She is so obviously out of her depth, and towing the party (BBC) line. Well said Paul Gambaccini. I have always found him to be the most articulate and eloquent of men.

I never imagined I'd see Paul Gambaccini like this! His courage is immense and he expresses his anger at injustices so eloquently and powerfully. I wish him all the very best. For a man in his seventies to take this on is admirable. I remember losing huge respect for the BBC the day they so gleefully and sensationally "reported" the Cliff Richard "news". I smelt a giant, corporate rat. Their conduct has been appalling.

"Please don't shout at me" is an attempt to belittle Paul. It's a tactic, playing that card in this victim-centric world. He wasn't shouting; he was being passionate. Being a former muck raker, I'm surprised she is so thin-skinned.

100% respect to Paul if you was facing a fight this is a man you would want by your side on a lighter note I would love to own his record collection true legend

What a fine thinker and speaker Mr Gambaccini is. I wish this man every success and afford him great respect.

Total respect to this man and his perfectly legitimate and understandable rage. Probably like the majority of people in this country, I am sick to the back teeth of the media and in particular the BBC and how they conduct themselves, I mean really sick. The way they were complicit in the Cliff Richard scandal is beyond words, absolutely disgusting and a vile way to conduct themselves.

Me, a relative nobody, emailed Paul some time ago to express my sadness at what happened to him but also my admiration for his courage and purposeful anger. He was gracious enough to reply. As for the BBC, there's a deep and tragic story to be told about an organisation that for decades protected and cosseted one of the very worst sex offenders the nation has ever known, while showing malicious complicity in the witch-hunt of Mr. Gambaccini and other innocents.

Holy shit that was absolutely fantastic. BBC "impartiality" ripped to shreds with a smile.

This man goes to the top of the class , in my opinion. At last someone stands up.

Good on you Paul.. this man knows what he's talking about.

Great interview, Well done Paul! It's about time the BBC are called to account.

Derbyshire is just another hack.

Paul is absolutely right about the higher echelons of the police. The rot set in in the late 1970's when the graduate entry scheme was introduced to create rapid promotion for graduates. This has led to a situation today where we have people of Assistant Chief Constable rank with hardly 3 years experience of policing. There are too many people at the top of the police service who have more degrees than arrests. Many couldn't investigate a smell from a drain, its that bad. As for 'leadership' you don't become a good leader from staring at a computer or just drifting from one office to another. I remember listening to a Met Superintendent during the Lawrence enquiry, telling the enquiry that he didn't know what his powers of arrest were. Can you believe it? Pathetic. Front line experience is essential in policing, understanding the sort of people you will come up against and recognising that the police are dealing by and large with dishonest and wholly unscrupulous people who will go to any lengths to evade the law. Too many at the top in policing don't understand that. Its getting worse because of this woke and diversity rubbish where today officers are being promoted for no other reason that to tick boxes in the drive for more diversity. Police leaders need to know about policing, but too many are just pen pushers staring at computers all day. The fault lies with politicians who have politicised the police, demanding degree qualifications for recruits, intruding political people as Crime Commissioners countrywide. Police forces need to get back to having hard nosed coppers in charge not academic idiots.

It was shocking to hear Crassida Dick was promoted, bearing in mind she was the Gold Commander involved in the murder of a innocent Male shot to death at Stockwell Tube Station by police officers.

The house of cards is toppling. Well done Paul!!!

Still haven't bought a license...14years 👌...well done paul

I find that woman’s interviewing technique to be abusive at times.

Well done Paul behind you ALL the way !!!

Is this the same Paul Gambaccini who knew about what Jimmy Saville was upto for years and never said a word!

I'm absolutely blown away that this even got to air. Paul Gambaccini told it how it was and the so-called presenter has been ripped another arse.

Look at what Alex Belfield has gone though

Go Paul.... total respect for you..... I detest the BBC.... I stopped paying my TV licence a long time ago.... I would prefer to cut my arm off than fund the BBC....

Extremely well done Mr Gambaccini. What a wet interviewer. Whats with the 'please don't shout at me'? If you can't stand the heat then don't interview emotionally charged topics, which clearly this is! What a prima donna this woman is! Cold as fish. Does she not understand what this man has been through!!!

You can understand why he is incandescent with rage. Stressed out and upset would be an understatement.

Wow, well done Paul for bringing to the public's attention how corrupt our police and public broadcaster are.

I do so hope Paul keeps to his word when he says that he and others will be coming for the BBC in due course - or words to that effect. I'm sick and tired of that organization's arrogance right now.

I just luv this man. So many people are screwed by the police and the BBC.

This man should be Prime Minister. Absolutely spot on.

I met him last year at Costa coffee Ashby de la Zouch, spoke to him for a couple of mins. Really nice bloke. I just get the feeling he knows what he's on about here. Top man.

“Please don’t shout at me “ trying to play the victim.

Anger - righteous anger, is at the point of boiling over in Britain. It is wonderful to see. Please keep your heads cool and be very clear what you want and how to get it. Don't expect anything from the ruling class except boots and truncheons to the head, teargas, fit-ups and divide and rule dirty tricks. Stick together and we will prevail

bbc and the police at last the truth is coming out thankyou and respect to you Paul Gambacccini not many put themselves in the fireing line

“… and here’s the weather from Louise” Awesome performance from a man who’s apparently got his integrity and his soul intact. Thank you Paul Gambaccini. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely bloody brilliant!! Dissect Fran Unsworth; I’d pay good money to see that!! Paul is an absolute LEGEND

Good for you Paul don’t take crap from this dreadful woman
