Back when a host would let a guest talk intelligently and not interrupt.

As the video drew to a close, the length of the possible confrontation was getting shorter and shorter.

Enoch Powell was a humanist and a gentleman never a racist

If you are honest, reasonable, and correct, they beat you up with name-calling like racist.

Can you imagine in modern media being allowed to talk this long with no interruption? If Enoch Powell could see UK now he'd be rolling in his grave. He was proven right.

Man, I literally would pay to be able to watch a TV show like this. Although a bit before my cerebral abilities had formed, I very much enjoy his early shows and have been enjoying them since.
