I can't help thinking that perhaps Emilia Fox, Alice Eve, Samuel West, Kate Beckinsale, Daniel Day-Lewis and many others had a bit of help along the way and did not have to start right from scratch. I don't blame them; I'm just pointing it out.

      Tara Charnow I’ve liked the Herring variety of Richard for over 27 years but he can sometimes let his nerves and comic persona drift in to the ‘offensive dick’ territory in his interviews as he admits himself. I get the feeling the E Grant variety does not suffer fools gladly unless they are friends or he gets the joke. If Herring is unknown to E Grant then I could see how this particular episode of what all the cool kids are calling it, might have been an unenjoyable train wreck for the E Grant variety. Just look at the Stephen Merchant interview and Merchant understands the schtick but is still not having a fun time!

      I was there, which I am very grateful for since it was never released, however the memory fades and it really annoyed me that he or his people didn't allow it to be uploaded. Don't know why, maybe because of Rich's teasing about not being able to talk about star wars? Or maybe he was embarrassed about Rich introducing him as being best known for playing long john silver ("You absolute fucker. I never played long john silver")

      Richard Herring... I really don't see the appeal, I don't enjoy him or his interviews AT ALL.
      (I know, there must be something I'm missing, but I just don't see why people like him, or even agree to be interviewed by him.)
      He just comes across as a wealthy boy who grew up with wealthy connections to get him 'in' to interview much more interesting people than himself.
      At least Brydon seems actually interested in his guests and what they have to say (especially about Brydon, ha, but other things as well),
      without flipping his hair every few seconds to show how 'rock-n-roll' he mistakenly thinks he is.
      If Herring cut his hair and wore clean clothes, would he have any appeal without some part of his look to play with as he twaddles along?
