True, but that WAS the shows very essence so it had to stop absolutely dead at 5 minutes.

Yeah lol...

I guess even though they were timing it I didn't actually BELIEVE they would stop it at the EXACT second because that's so bizarre lol. I guess part of me thought they were joking...

I mean wtf? It would only take 2 seconds to finish the sentence - it's well worth that lol!

I think the style of interview was only good for quirkiness and/or good humour. Other than that it was a bit...inefficient I guess lol.

Funny tho Tongue

Now you're getting it ... the point of the interview WASN'T to interview Richard Dawkins, the point was to see how much of Dawkins could be interviewed in 5 minutes and no more.

Good talk from a very smart man.

It lead me to this one by Sir Terry Pratchett.
