Emily MaitlisHOST
Yeah.
Emily MaitlisHOST
And Jeremy Paxman gave him a hard time, uh, at the time.
Emily MaitlisHOST
It was a very controversial interview.
Emily MaitlisHOST
I remember it well because I was, uh, on the program at the same time as him, the, the election program, and he accused, um, Galloway of taking a seat off a Black woman.
Jon SopelHOST
And you, you went-
George GallowaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
... than the color of her skin.
Emily MaitlisHOST
Well, that was vintage Jeremy Paxman.
Emily MaitlisHOST
I mean, Paxman at his, um, sort of or- ornery best, I think, and it probably was the middle of the night.
Kiell Smith-BynoeGUEST

Hopewell ChingonoGUEST
How journalists behave was our understanding of journalism.
Hopewell ChingonoGUEST
And when you leave the country, And for years, and then you go back, the cultural sensitivities that have shaped that society are no longer valid to you because, especially in my case, I mean, you spent like nine years watching Jon Snow, Jeremy Paxman, and then you go back to Zimbabwe and they expect you to be like Reuben Barrow.
Hopewell ChingonoGUEST
And so even up to now, I'll tell you a little story.
Hopewell ChingonoGUEST
You know, a couple of weeks ago, the main opposition leader blocked me on Twitter.

Why vote? We know it's not going to make any difference.
Tommy RobinsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Georgia BanjoCORRESPONDENT
The program's presenter, Jeremy Paxman, was dismissive, scathing even, his usual trademark style.
Georgia BanjoCORRESPONDENT
Still, watching it back now, it's unsettling because not everything Robinson was saying should have been dismissed.

Call it our first sliding doors moment in the Tommy Robinson story.

Heather StewartGUEST
Um, you know, the way it works, once there's a sort of embarrassing picture of a politician, it just gets, it just gets shown again and again and again.
Heather StewartGUEST
And I think there was also this sense of, you know, was he capable of being a leader on the global stage? So there was a particular interview in the run-up to the 2015 general election where Ed Miliband was doing a sort of one-to-one in front of a public audience with Jeremy Paxman, who at the time was this big sort of scary political interviewer.
Heather StewartGUEST
And Paxman said that he'd encountered a member of the public who'd said something along the lines of, "What happens if Ed Miliband's in a room with Vladimir Putin?" You know, can he...
Heather StewartGUEST
Is he tough enough to withstand Vladimir Putin?
Caitlin MoranGUEST
He was like, "People need to have some positive news.
Caitlin MoranGUEST
What is working? What legislation has worked? Where have wars stopped? Where have things improved?" And all the bad boys of news were like, "That's soppy." Uh, one of the quotes, which I think was from Jeremy Paxman, was, "Even if it makes our viewers want to open a vein, they need to see that news." But we can see that people's consumption of news has massively dropped because-
Davina McCallHOST
Yes
Caitlin MoranGUEST
... people don't want to watch news-
Jonathan SwanGUEST
Um, I think it, it can go, it can, it can take an interviewer to not great places.
Jonathan SwanGUEST
