Did you miss BBC’s Hard Talk show last week?
Thanks to Zoo Station, I discovered that the BBC site has the videos of the all the “India Week” Hard Talk shows (sans the advertisements). The talk show featured the following guests last week -
N.R.Narayana Murthy
Varun Gandhi
Brinda Karat
P. Chidambaram
Aishwarya Rai
I just finished watching the Hard Talk show that featured P Chidambaram. Our FM was almost cornered when the topic of ‘Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme’ came up. It’s always a pleasure listening to PC and I eagerly look forward to his Thirukural references in his budget speeches.
At a time when most of the news channels are looking at online revenue models, it is good to know that BBC is providing free access to these interviews. I googled to check whether Karan Thapar’s heated Hard Talk India show was available online and I managed to catch the ‘It was not a pleasure to meet you’ interview once again.

Thanks for the links ! Jayalalitha did seem a rational person. Clearly, it seemed Thapar was biased towards DMK and was regurgitating whatver the slimy press was publishing.

@Nagu, Chennai Chatter and Cogito,
U r welcome
@Nirav,
No tech wizardry required. Just see it using Real Player
@Prerona,
what surprises me is the fact that they are using space and bandwidth to load all old archives
@Anon,
I don't think Karan Thapar was biased. He was just quoting from media reports.

ya - but their whole philosophy as an entity i think is influenced by the fact that they are not revenue driven. they dont have to do the 'right thing' or the most profitable thing
