Just a heads up - some may be interested in this being shown on BBC One Wales at 9pm tonight:

Being Mavis Nicholson: TV's Greatest Interviewer

Quote:

Elizabeth Taylor, Helen Mirren, David Bowie and Margaret Thatcher are just some of the names who queued up to be interviewed by Mavis Nicholson, recently named as the greatest TV interviewer of all time. This film explores how a middle-aged woman from Wales became Britain's first female chat show host. Including contributions from Maureen Lipman, Paul O'Grady, Elvis Costello, Judith Chalmers, Eamonn Holmes and Mavis herself, alongside many others.

Possibly not only the greatest, but also the most underrated interviewer of all time?

And what a wonderful documentary it was. Plenty of old clips and lots of touching tributes from her famous interviewees and friends
