Reminders of Face to Face in both it's Freeman and Isaacs incarnations on BBC4 this evening. The full length interviews - Paul Eddington, Tony Hancock and Joan Baez are only rivalled by John Wilson's programme these days imv but being where we are, I couldn't help wishing that Otto Klemperer/Freeman had been given an airing.

All the Freeman Face to Faces (except Albert Finney where permission was withheld) have been available on DVD for some years. I found the older subjects the more interesting (Lord Birkett, Bertrand Russell and especially Lord Reith) though atthe time Adam Faith was a surprise for most viewers who found he was a much more serious person than they had supposed.Comment
