The Dinosaur Hour | Sunday 5th November

[@AnotherVoice-jp1kj]

This programme starkly highlights how horrendous the conventional late night chat show format is and how tv in general infantilises us. At last, a grown up discussion for adults. Thank you so much. More please!

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

Grown up? If you think that two old has beens, who obviously have over inflated opinions of themselves, is classified as entertainment, I'd like to hear your definition of the word. They've both "grown up" financially under a Thatcher government that they both hated and have now aged into senility. Less please!

[@JesusSavesFromDeathandHell]

Very true!

[@edgyguy7084]

I newer liked the american way of doing it... U invite an increadibly interesting person and then only talk about their new movie and cut to the commertial... John Oliver didnt like that format and full focused on what he wanted to talk about, and thats why I like him. Conan O’Brien loves to interact with his guests and u can feel it, thats why I love him 2... Its like what they said... u eigher love your job or u half ass it and people feel it...

[@libbysingscontrezzo8419]

I could listen to these two discuss the world for endless hours.

[@Roz-y2d]

Yes, but I’ve gone off Fry in recent years. He’s always putting our country down when he’s being interviewed, especially abroad. Under the guise of being humorous of course.

[@Thai.Farang]

What do you want him to do, lie!? The UK has become a total shit hole over the past twenty years. If you can't see that for yourself then you need to wake up.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

@@Roz-y2d I don't agree. I think he is well enough read, travelled, etc. to see that some places do some things better, but I think he genuinely loves Britain and would just like it to do better.

[@BasWien-b8f]

I'm from the Netherlands, but seeing the work Fry he's done in the past up till now, he generally loves Britain, but I don't think he's a fan of where Britain is heading to today, I believe todays Britain is not his Britain.

[@Ron-d2s]

Check out Fry and Craig Ferguson.

[@workingZen]

Awesome episode! Love John Cleese and Steven Fry. Please get Rowan Atkinson on next!

[@kurtgodel5236]

Rowin Akinsan?

[@workingZen]

@@kurtgodel5236 my spelling is so bad :P I have changed it now

[@saltburner2]

This is what we need, and thank goodness for GBNews for bringing it on. None of the 'legacy media' would touch it with a barge-pole.

[@AB-lv1kf]

One of the best things currently on TV. I particularly enjoyed the Pythonesque song at the end.

[@mainlysmiles5823]

Almost like something that would have been broadcast in the 80's/90's. I love it.

[@aardmanmmg6667]

Just when the world grew boring, along came a great legend to brighten our lives again! God bless John Cleese. May this comedy legend live forever!

[@colinstewart1432]

Totally agree. The man bestrides the comedy world like a collosus.

[@davidparsons3432]

Fry is brilliant in his knowledge and understanding but John Cleese has that creative insight that interconnects things.....so good

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

Fry is a nasty little champagne socialist and a loather of Thatcher. He should return to his high class "nursing home", paid for by the vast amounts of money he accumulated, thanks to the capitalistic society of which he abhores. Cleese is what he is. An average actor but a horrible man.....ask Connie Booth, Barbara Trentham and Alice Eichelberger. They'll tell you all about his "creative insight" that you obviously admire.

[@jumblestiltskin1365]

Yes Rowan Atkinson would be a great guest.

[@r4h4al]

Yes, would be a fascinating interview.

[@bruceleroyhoffman]

Bean

[@colinstewart1432]

That's a brilliant idea. Let's petition GBN to get him on. C'mon people, who's with me?

[@mattrobins2002]

What a fantastic chat between John and Steven. Amazing to watch. Well done GB news.

[@colinstewart1432]

British Cultural Royalty on show here. I too saved this until it could be properly appreciated.

[@martinplatt5928]

Probably one of the most interesting and enlightening interviews I have ever seen. What an incredibly refreshing look to a late night news channel. Brilliant.

[@numbatwo2629]

Ok this is excellent. Hopefully it gets the viewership required to survive.

[@garethe9886]

Me too. If it doesn’t get the viewership it would be such a shame. I suppose we all need to press that subscribe button and share far and wide

[@nigelground283]

Be honest , this is just rubbish, Cleese has turned into a sad old codger, bitter because he is not wanted anywhere else apart from a channel made up of sad and bitter has- beens who have been sidelined from the proper channels.@@garethe9886

[@pantherking2432]

Great show. John Cleese is superb. Well thought out, full marks...

[@williammackay3321]

All the shows were recorded months ago hun

Seek fame and wealth with every ounce of your being, and you miss all the heavenly glory of life. BALANCE is the key to a joyous life .

[@NoNameNo.5]

This feels like British tv that’s not been Americanized. As an American, I think it’s terrific.

[@Canthatcrazy]

The song at the end! ❤ so British. It reminded me of classic films like Chitty Bang Bang

[@61shirley]

Brilliant episode.

[@traciebushnell1425]

Love listening to these two well done GB news for considering your slightly older loyal viewers ❤

[@musiqueetmontagne]

Brilliant, two open exceedingly bright people in a wonderful, relaxed conversation. Plus, best bit when Steven said, "I can say that, we're in a free speech haven".... Thank you GB News.

[@colinstewart1432]

Both Cambridge alumni.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

@@colinstewart1432 They must be ashamed of some of what Cambridge is doing nowadays.

[@GlenAldcroft-dh1vs]

Great conversation and the song at the end made me feel happier about our impending doom.

[@patcarroll9234]

This program is astonishing. I love everything about it.

[@Przykominku]

"Second best" - what a start. I grew up listening them for laugh - now I listen them for wisdom and understanding...

[@scribblehead42]

What a fantastic song at the end too - very Noel Coward-esque - listen to the lyrics, absolutely briilliant. Well done to whoever wrote it!

[@colinm9038]

Excellent interview with Stephen Fry, great television.

[@joog730060]

Stephen Fry, stirred my memories of the sweets that existed back in my baby boomer childhood. Great discussion and so true.

[@bellablack5756]

Ahh so nice to come across some decent conversations on tv. Thank you John.

[@antoniopalmero4063]

Cheers John .🇬🇧

[@thia26]

I’m glad I saved this until I had time to really enjoy it. ❤🎉What a treat! Maybe we could have two hours? Please?

[@deadduck4041]

Great show, And very entertaining song ...Bravo 👏👏👏

[@HonestJohnstories-lv7sb]

I didn't attend a posh school but I too remember all of those sweets!

[@ScottHodgins29]

What a wonderful video to stumble across on such a time and place. Wisdom, intelligence, curiosity, and a concern for the well-being of society. I admire these two.

[@TheGAZGUN]

Fantastic Work. So rare these days. Top notch.

[@geraldineclarke5434]

Fry and Cleese together - Heaven!

[@michaelsimpson4400]

There is a reason Joe Rogan is the number 1 podcast in the world. It is long form. Gives time to just explore. More please.

[@Canthatcrazy]

Great show. ❤

[@kitsophrenik]

best new show on any network or channel i've seen

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

You need to get out more. This is appalling. I love GBNews but ......................

[@Jimmimorris]

Thumbs up! What a lovely show that will ripen with each episode.

[@geraldineclarke5434]

I've always loved Fry and Cleese but Schaffer is a new love.

[@ianinkster2261]

This is what conversation used to be.

[@gedreillyhomestead6926]

Re the internet, it started out as a great source for gathering information and finding answers to questions but now every search comes back with something that someone is trying to sell you a product or service or something. Most annoying, we need another non commercial internet.😢. Also why are you bleeping out words? Every swear word can emphasis the depth of feeling about a statement.

[@r4h4al]

Yes, have found many websites are now ruined by adverts, & will just crash your device.

[@234cheech]

I DONT LISTEN NOR WATCH THIS GB NEWS BUT THESE TWO ARE LEGENDS

[@madincraft4418]

Best thing in YEARS

[@okandarocks]

Thankyou for giving us something thats intellectually stimulating. Its sorely needed in a world that tries hard to make us all woke robots.

[@PaulMann8666]

There might be "artificial intelligence", but not artificial compassion, inborn and then honed by the experience of being human.

[@colinstewart1432]

A great point. If you haven't already, read Isaac Asimovs' books " Robots & the rest of Robots " Very predictive of our present with AI eventually becoming involved in Government.

[@MichaelLeBlanc-p4f]

Excellent !

[@mintdog531]

Wow!! Stubled upon this. Fantastic!!

[@beth-eileenwalker8579]

Thank you! Thank you for this amazing show and sharing it on KZbin. American TV is so insipid and this is humor, intelligence and subjects that thrill and make you go Hmmmm? Love it and of course, like Cleese, I am a almost Dinosaur... Love from the states. (Psst. Missing Stephen Fry terribly, such a treasure and wonderful to see him and listen to him on this show.

[@bellap3527]

A brilliant second episode. Looking forward to the next one. 👍

[@louisegeorge136]

Thoroughly great show, thanks to John and to Stephen - and i'm a Gen X (the generation that really don't give a f0ck) wonderful musings :)

[@owengreene382]

An unbelievable intelligent conformation of wittyness. I love these Thank you.

[@Catmadjen---1974]

Great song! And what a true treasure Stephen fry is

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Brilliant.... Loved the intermission pauses to hear Mr Schaffer show his talent too!

[@stevenweikert7062]

Really?! What talent might that be? That he is only mildly displeased when his name gets mispronounced? That he may or may not know what the word "endemic" means? That he is as mystified by the game of cricket as is most of the rest of the world? The glaring difference between the 2 discussions is almost painful - Fry and Cleese talk about ideas, Schaeffer and Doyle talk about themselves.

[@guiltydwarf495]

This! This" This is what we need!

[@BasWien-b8f]

We will never see another generation that will produce the unique individuals such as the likes of these two gentlemen. Todays generation just sucks balls.

O my nerves, I’m so happy I found The Dinosaur Hour! Wonderful program with Steven & John and giving us such intelligent conversation! And now Lewis Schaffer too. But where are they sitting? With nuns, and cavorting kitties, and a chess game going on-aren’t they interested in the conversation too.

[@nikanur3766]

Just Fantastic! This episode is so good!!!!! 👏👏👏

[@birtybonkers8918]

The problem with the super-rich is that they eventually do realise that they have enough money and that they need to use it. That’s when they get really dangerous.

[@Thomas15]

Wealth and money aren’t the same thing. Most wealth isn’t money and can’t be spent.

[@shamteal8614]

You don't think these two rich old men haven't worked throughout their lives to become wealthy? Could it be like many of the rich chattering classes they feel a little guilty that they have what the majority of us will never have?

[@colinstewart1432]

I've always thought that Greed, the unnatural and excessive acquisition of money simply for the sake of possessing it, should be listed as a Mental Illness in DSM 5.
