From the Archive: Richard Burton's last interview with the BBC

Available for over a year

We've been going through our archive for the World at One’s 60th anniversary. Presenter Jonny Dymond introduces an interview from the 1980s with actor Richard Burton about a modernised version of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, published by the historian AL Rowse. BBC Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull, then a freelancer, interviewed Burton from New York for what would be his last interview for the BBC before his death a few weeks later. Image credit: BBC
