Gilliam was commenting on the row over diversity triggered by the BBC’s unveiling of its new comedy programming, announced in June, at which the BBC’s controller of comedy commissioning Shane Allen emphasised the corporation’s commitment to “the stories that haven’t been told and the voices we haven’t yet heard”

“Never heard of any of them.”

That’s fair enough.

You must be old.

What films have you heard of?

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve yelled “Hold, varlet!” I’d be rich.

Such a good flick.

Never get tired of rewatching it.

Problem is with the media and celebrities, one does not need to seek it out.

Take this example. Front and center US bashing (illogical) and Obama worship.

You renounced your US citizenship in 2006, partly in protest against George W Bush. Did you vote there before that?

I haven’t been in America for 43 years. It didn’t seem to be my country any more. It wasn’t just a protest. There was the fact that my wife would have had to sell the house to be able to afford to pay the taxes when I died.

You have no plans to go back?

No, no. Even though America has been blessed with possibly the best leader the world has got at the moment, I don’t feel the need to go back and help him. He’s on his own.

All one has to do is read an interview to see it.
