8:39 "The basic problem with this boat was that it was full of sea, which I thought was not the point of boats". That is an absolute classic!!
Thank you Douglas. We miss you very much.

The Melbourne Press Club, I think. And the time stamp on the video says May 5th 1999, so it was probably recorded shortly before that.

Thanks so much for the upload, what an utterly brilliant man. When and where was this recorded?
