Peter Ustinov on the Late late Show.

we had also The Raconteurs who took a little longer to tell a story they were the guys who put talked into talk-show would you welcome please mr. Peter used enough tell me about your first visit to Ireland and this is not your first appearance on RTE television I am told that you have appeared before on our screens yes it's I'm amazed how it's grown and how proficient it is when I was first here it was fairly new all this in fact the cameraman pointed at the lens and said to me just before we went on the air if you keep your eye on this you'll be all right and then one of the Chiefs of television Aaron said to me well of course we've got very particular problems here which are probably not remained where you've been that we're not so well off as the British or the others and we can't really afford all these projects and American Shola many lads yield so we're based our television largely on interviews and there I've worked out that by September 1979 we'll have interviewed everyone in Ireland we'll have to start again from the beginning how true it was no you you are a master of several languages and I want to know how have you coped so far with the Gaelic are you are you learning it while you're here well I was very touched I've drove here from kenmare I Drive everywhere I can in order to see things the way I like to see them and to stop where I like and it's it's a little frightening the the Gaelic oh I appreciate it enormously I mean I like the idea that a country should have its own language even though it had unfortunate repercussions in Shannon Airport when I first went there and when you were all so patriotic that you didn't bother about English at all and I wait went of course straight through a door saying nah I thought that must be men in the floor there were shrieks and I was taken to fear the great Tsar Peter Ustinov and with them of course Fred Astaire not in singing and dancing mood that light on the show as I recollect but still a very pleasing man they were in Ireland to make a movie called the purple taxi not good anyway
