Comedy legend Mel Brooks is (nearly) effusive in his praise of Terry Wogan, as the pair sit down for a wide-ranging chat about table ornaments, vision mixing, directing, Andreas Voutsinas' musings on humour, the similarities between Irish and Jewish comedy, Hollywood moguls, wine snobbery, ties, how Queen Victoria's wardrobe enabled sudden flashes of violence, life in London, Anne Bancroft, the difference between turnips and turn ups and the correct pronunciation of composite, lever and aluminium.
Clip taken from Wogan, originally broadcast on BBC One, 18 February, 1984.
