Robin Day
Krishnan Guru-Murthy chooses the political interviewer, Robin Day. With Matthew Parris and Max Hastings. From June 2006.
Channel 4's news presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy chooses the illustrious political interviewer, Robin Day.
During the height of his career, Day was regarded as Britain's finest political interviewer, the "great inquisitor".
Some salute him for breaking the mould of deferential interviewing but others think he bullied his subjects and stole the limelight himself with his mannered performances.
Krishnan and presenter Matthew Parris are joined by journalist, Sir Max Hastings, to discuss Robin Day's career.
Producer: Tim Dee
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 2006.
