Parkinson's interview with Ali

Just saw this on UKTV G2, and all I can say is it's possibly the best interview I've ever seen. Ali just kicks so much ass in it. Anyone else see it? And anyone any idea if I can get a copy of it, on dvd or whatnot?

Well it is repeated on the 25 of March at 9.15 pm and at 1.30am.

Also worth watching that night is a repeat of his worst ever interview, Meg Ryan.

I've got an original tape from when that interview was released in the shops.. Ali = Biggest Legend Ever..

Thanks for the heads up John R, if I can't find it on dvd or something, I'll have to resort to good ol' VHS (dvd recorder is in the process of being bought).

I've seen it many times now & it was a great interview.

UKTV G2 seem to repeat it a few times every month.

Yeah pretty good you think at the start hes just being arrogant and big headed but further on he makes more and more sense and has an answer for everything. I just saw it last night too and i gotta say its the best interview ive ever seen

That's odd, I was talking to the Video editor of parkinson the other day in work. He was talking about the best interview Parkinson ever did.... Ali was up top, alongside the interview with Woody Allen. Apparently the woody allen one is great.... it looks like Woody is going to walk out have way through..... Parkinson was trying to get him on for 25 years and he finally agreed.

Which one was it? Ali did 3 interviews with Parkinson. One in 1971,1974 and 1981, I believe.

Fantastic interviews, I've never seen anything close to that sort of atmosphere on a talk show. Legendary.

The three Parkinson interviews with Ali were on UKTV G2 over Christmas. I recorded them onto DVD. I'll copy them for you if you want. PM me.
