norman looks like an idiot

People also forget Barry Humphries as dame Edna the other original troll interviewer but Gary even predates Barry cos he didn't have a show til the 80s while Gary predates pretty much everyone.

Exactly. It was a bang-up fine performance from her. Zero problems with what she said. You could tell Gunston was floundering, trying to get a bite. Didn't happen.

+BigRamifications again.....we are all so inferior out here.....how would we survive anything unless she protected us morons...?

I don't think that someone who thinks Pinky and Perky were 'agents of the devil' merits being taken seriously.

@@BigRamifications Bullshit.....he was rolling along with her beautifully. Norman wasn't malicious in anything he did. His comedy was the floundering, awkward character you see here. 'Get a bite'.....nah. His genius was on display.

@@stevemurrell6167 WRONG.

That is NOT a coincidence

It was the standard for older women in that era - you must be very, very young indeed.

The old bag was a snotty old shrew!

She was an odious zealot of the worse kind, eager to impose her pinched view of existence on everyone else.

Ha haaa

Typical Fake News, even as far back as then, what with the unconscionable smearing they gave her.

That's what most wowsers say...."I just care about what people watch".

@@hcrun I'm pretty sure she was saying that she didn't care what other people were watching or doing, as long as no-one was being exploited. But maybe you need a bit of exploitation to get off...

I think she was a bit more selective about what sort of people she cared about - It certainly wasn't everyone

Are you suggesting Dick & Mary were the same person??

@@johnrebus1641Well I don't think we can rule it out.

I think Mary Whitehouse was being a bit sarcastic there and going along with the humour.

Mary Whitehouse Vs Frank Zappa. I’d pay to see that 🤣

No.

@@hanajinks1044 yes

@@interrogatorchaplain9552 How?

@@hanajinks1044 I'll tell you how. She was nothing more than a stuck up toffee nosed old toad who seemed to think she had the right to pick and choose what was and wasn't suitable for home viewing. Because of her and her retarded small army of snowflakes many films were either banned or heavily censored some of which still remain banned or heavily censored to this day which is unfair on the people who put time, money and effort into making these films. Not to mention the people who enjoy such entertainment. The simple solution is if you don't like on screen violence or foul language or sex or whatever then simply steer clear of the kind of films and TV programmes that consist of such content. No need to f**k it up for everyone else.

No. She was actually very personable and funny. I never thought of her that way. I thought she was just a stuck up humourless bore who set herself up on a pedestal telling others what they can and cannot watch on TV. I was wrong.

If you don’t like what she said/did that makes you a bigot too

John Smith please elaborate how exactly

@@JohnSmith-lt7jw Are you supporting her intolerant views? She's refusing to integrate with the society of the country that she was a visitor to - so by that logic, are you saying you would also refuse to integrate yourself with the society of a country you're a guest of and expect them to see your views as the "correct" way to live? Please confirm your position on this so that we all understand

@@thelevel10coach78 she just didn't understand his accent. At least she claimed to, at first. Then he didn't change it and she suddenly understood everything he said, and was still a bit rude to him. I suppose us colonials never talked proper.

Sounds like she couldn’t understand his accent

Pardon?

I think what happened was she was used to very serious interviews, was wrong-footed by the cleaning up the airwaves joke right off the bat, then tried to cover her confusion by saying she didn't understand his Aussie accent. As a result her bluff came off as sounding pompous. Once she twigged, relaxed and started dishing it back, she came across alright I thought.
