Who hates it? I mean, who's 'he'? Him or the other he? The first 'he' must be Sean, but the second 'he' could be either one of them. Anyway, I don't think either he or he hated anything.

Anderson is too rushed. If he gave his guests space they would shine. Clive badgered his guests rather than accomodate them. Basil Fawlty of talk show hosts.
