No, I watched the whole interview. At 3:44, Dawkins says "possibility" of a superior intelligence. To me this is no different than religious speculations and Dawkins allowed himself to be drawn into it. No different than reading Isaac Asimov's Sci-Fi books.

We have difficulty, it seems, accepting the world as it appears (to us) without adding to it our own "explanation" as to why it is the way it is. The world looks, smells and sounds a lot different to different species then it does to us, and their reality is quite different from ours.

We just have difficulty saying "As of this moment, we don't know." We succumb to our fancy and create answers. Dawkins obviously succumbed to his, at least for a moment.
