Face to Face with Kim Hill - John Pilger

Kim Hill on Her Memorable Interview with John Pilger

By Kim Hill 04/09/2024

I would point out that I didn't in fact throw a book at John Pilger, but slid it energetically across the table. On Face to Face, we had a policy of running the interviews as live, even if they were pre-recorded, as this one was. We agonised about it but decided to be true to the policy and leave it as was, and retired to our cameraman's hotel room to watch it go out on-air. I shut myself in the bathroom with the tap running so that I couldn't hear it, and I've never seen it. Mind you, I never watched any of them.......I have a face for radio!
