I can't help but feel sorry for the poor fellow. He seems so sad.

I hope this man is now happy and at peace,please God 🙏

Oh my goodness. What a well produced treasure!!

4:55 Winston Churchill; "Hitler is a monster of wickedness, insatiable in his lust for blood and plunder. Not content with having all Europe under his heel, or else terrorised into various forms of abject submission, he must now carry his work of butchery and desolation among the vast multitudes of Russia and of Asia. The terrible military machine - which we and the rest of the civilised world so foolishly, so supinely, so insensately allowed the Nazi gangsters to build up year by year from almost nothing - cannot stand idle lest it rust or fall to pieces."

Beautiful

Most selfish British monarch in modern day history left his duties for a tart

Ein Glück, dass er als König abgedankt hat...als Naziunterstützer hätte er, wenn er König geblieben wäre, England u ganz Europa noch mehr in in die Scheisse geritten, wer weiss, ob dann die Allierten es geschafft hätten Europa von den Nazis zu befreien u wenn, dann wären die politischen Verhältnisse in England jetzt auch anders, dann gäbe es die Windsors in dieser Form mit diesem Einfluss auch nicht mehr.....

In the photo that accompanies this video, Russell has the appearance of a man whose head will shrink back into his dinner jacket the minute someone stops squeezing his waist.

Sir John’s reading is a rare treat ! The music does nothing at all to enhance or even complement the story.

wow 10 years old.

I posses a very rare flute. I also own an expensive recorder. I never play any of them. This is because of the grown ups; they never understand. They do not see the value in music as I do, because they see just a lack of interest or loss of interest in the wider world.

Russell failed in his mathematical (Gödel theorem invalidated it )work, and was a very angry man. He is using the ad hominen (against the man, not his ideas) argument against a man long dead, this is shameful. Like his tobacco pipe though. Cheers

Acting is about telling the truth.

_I see you're also a customer. Are you satisfied with our product?_

The epilogue starts at 3:14

I sometimes listen to part of one his recorded books to brighten my mornings, not my favourite time of day.

It's sad what being in the monarchy system can do to those inside the system. You can see what it did to him & Margaret. I'm American so I don't understand it.

Lenin literally treated Das Kapital like it's bible.

LOVE ENJOY EDWARD AND WALLIS SIMPSON DARLINGS THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE TOGETHER DARLINGS

22:07 Act II

It would be so interesting to know what Lord Russell would make of the world now.

God bless Great Britain for protecting the Jews.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I can't fathom 2 more famous and useless individuals. 🙄

Most respect for Wallis a trail blazer for the transgender community. She’s truly loved and quite wonderful in so many ways.

Precipice

It appears that TPTB decided on a mix of this and 1984.

I spot some salty communists in the comments who dislike it when their favorite historical figures are not constantly praised or adored but criticized and seen for the monsters they were.

What a couple of self-satisfied, over-privileged, useless relics.

They were a couple of Nazis while their own countrymen were fighting the nazis. You know. Traitors.

A delightful comedy of the pretensions of the English petit bourgeoisie of the 19th century. Dickens would not have only approved;but laughed all the way...❤😊...

Crazy to think that he died May 28th, 1972 of throat cancer… just over a year & a 1/2 after this interview took place.

Legend! Thatcher sabotaged it. NHS never failed, neoliberalism failed!

Sounds like Lenin had limited understanding just like any leftist today

The US was already at war with Germany in 1940, as Admiral King had confirmed at the time. Germany was overjoyed by the attack on the naval base. Ribbentrop had pressed for it for months.

Thank you mr./ms. Channel provider thank you sooooo much for these priceless radio gems 💎 😊

Typical idiot Only utilisation of Russia!

26:39 Rudyard Kipling's critique on money

Now that is a true narrator. Excellent pace and voice modulation.

Typical idiot If you pro freedom, pro humanity you’re automatically should be anti Russia. Russia it’s always totalitarianism and worst crimes against humanity

The true King. If he had remained England would have kept the Empire and not sacrificed it all just so the soviet union could control Eastern Europe for half a century. The holocaust wouldn't have happened either. Churchill is celebrated! It was him who orchestrated war with Germany - just to pay off his gambling debts and pay for his alcoholism. What a waste.

Is this abridged?

That was excellent, need more of these. Thanks.

"...I'm afraid I was very, very drunk."

So great to hear Alistair Cooke's voice again....we loved him as Host of Masterpiece Theater.

I’m here because Erik Weinstein went on Piers Morgan and told me to check it out. It did not disappoint!

The greatest poet-king Richard ever: he sings the monologues as supreme arias !
