Trevor McDonald relives 'TERRIFYING' interview with Saddam Hussein 

You were never just a token Sir, you were a well spoken, well respected reporter. Thank you gentlemen.

I'd love to see Sir Trevor on gbnews going forward, even just as a panelist. What a legend!

What a national treasure this gentleman is 🫡 sir Trevor

Who doesn't love Sir Trevor? A real National Treasure.

I’ve always liked Trevor McDonald. He comes across as a lovely man and he has an authoritative voice that people listen to.

Trevor MacDonald has one of the best voices in TV. I’ve always adored this man, from when i was a kid. I used to watch News At Ten purely for him. The man is a National Treasure. 😍❤️ There was no opinion with Trevor, he just reported.

Trevor such a brilliant broadcaster

Trevor McDonald, Peter Sissons and Moira Stewart, people who reported the facts and let you make up your own mind…..those were the days!

Tonight with Trevor McDonald was one of the greatest feature shows in British history. Absolute legend!

Very distinguished & accomplished news presenter who is highly respected..... I wonder what he thinks of GB news & friends? Priceless......

Trevor McDonald what a Legend :)

Wow, never thought I’d see these two talk. Cool stuff.

Trevor McDonald is nearly 85. Very sharp and articulate

Legendary cadence.

What a wonderfully eloquent and thoughtful man

Saddam destroyed him with his first answer in that interview “ IS IT A BRITISH THING “

John kept interrupting Trevor to ask questions. Made me cringe.

brilliant segment with two of Britains finest. Your work goes unnoticed

Fantastic man

I met Sir Trevor when he filmed a documentary where I was employed at the Indiana State Prison. He is the definition of a true gentleman.

excellent interview

Trevor McDonald - Legend.

Trevor Mcdonald fantastic bloke...

Good to see Sir Trevor on the telly again and enjoying his retirement.

Always a joy to listen to Mr McDonald

Love Sir Trevor 💕

You're zipping through the discussion points, was hoping for a much longer interview

Awwww I've missed his wee face and voice!! Such an incredible speaker ❤

I'd love to be able to to rewind time to when this guy graced our screens. He made me care about news reporting.

Why was this so short!!? Love these two geezas!

The background extras are like something out of Monty Python

What the heck is going on with the set

Trevor Mcdonald is a legend

Great interview, thanks!!

I really enjoyed watching and listening to this. Thank you.

"I live in a mixed marriage", "Is your wife Catholic?", "No, she's white." Classic

Just to correct the record, Mandela's eye problems were not a result of being damaged by "splinters" from the rocks he broke on Robben Island. They were damaged by the sun's reflective glare from the lime stone in the quarry. Much like the damage from snow. A number of prison guards working on Robben Island suffered the same malady.

Why knitting nuns?

Ok great interview, but the nuns in the background LOL why?

He was such a good newsreader

Thank you Sir Trevor!

Saddam dissed him right at the beginning

What the heck is going on behind Trevor? Looks better bizarre.

Must have been hard for him to report on South Africa in the 80's a true gentleman ❤

Such a wonderful man is Sir Trevor McDonald

Black guy, in media, but you know he loves England, not bitter, that's why we love him. Not like today, they are bitter and hate the Country, especially in the BBC. I'm surprised if he even sees Race.

brilliant interview. thoroughly enjoyed.! 😉☺️😊😄 ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻 * my granny was a mick and my grandad was a proddie worked out a treat for them . 60 yrs they were married.! 😆

Why are there people dressed up in the background? Am I missing something?

a fantastic news reporter. Delivered straight facts

Sir Trevor is a gentleman and a national treasure.

This interview has some interesting moments, but why on earth is it filmed in such a daft setting? Detracts from the weight of what is being said.

What is the idea with this insane set?

Trevor McDonald is a class act!

2 extremely intellectual men,enjoyed listening to that,thankyou.🤓🙏

Trevor has that Des Lynam smoothness

I saw Trevor outside Landsdown Road Dublin reporting on the Ireland vs Northern Ireland game back in the 80s some serious tension at that game

where can you watch this full show outside of the UK?

What an absolute G

As a child in the 90's coming from a mixed race family ? I never seen his skin colour... he was never a token. He was the news guy, who told the news the best, who reported on actual facts he found out! He went investigating the answers. There is a reason he is now a Sir. And he damn well earned it. Thank Sir! Thank you for being the true principle of being British!

2 legend's I love jon cleese so much thanks for monty python

Nice to see Trev still knocking about…. 😀

Two British legends! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Really good interview we ❤ Sir McDonald 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲😎😎

Reminds me of TISWAS , remember that ? Good old Trevor Mc Doughnut ...all good clean fun !

Love Sir Trevor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Back when the mainstream was mainstream.

I was just wondering which masonic lodge they were sitting in belonged to.

This is so wonderful both legends ❤

What a wonderful man Trevor is. A true pro

Never heard of Trevor McDonald, but looks intriguing to me, he must have been reporting years before I was born, he should go on GB News as a presenter

This show is so refreshing. Love John Cleese anyway. But as far as television goes here in the States, nobody's got the attention span these days for genuine thought-provoking conversation. (although this did move along at pretty fast clip). What a novel idea!

I saw him on the tube one day around 7am. It was 2010. He’s very tall

Brilliant interview, love Trevor, he was awesome back when journalists were actually journalists. Imagine interviewing Hussain and Mandela, that's quite a resume.

Back when news was respected and respectable. (I’m 37 yrs old, so no dinosaur here with rose tinted glasses)

Why are random nuns drinking and knitting in the background 😅😅

If only gb news has news presenters like him and not the crass ones they have

Must have been pretty scary with Tony Blair too... if he only knew

Trevor looks incredible for 84! Twenty years younger at least!

It is refreshing to hear positivity surrounding Madiba, Nelson Mandela, since in South Africa today, the very people he dedicated his life to are calling him a sell out & other despicable things. And there lies the juxtaposition, the ones that fought the fight came out positive and human, the ones who got the freedom of that struggle doing absolutely nothing, are coming out full of bitterness & hate, with no serious discussions only destruction. I weep for my country, because we are such a warm & welcoming nation & there was a time where it looked like we would be a solid example for the rest of the world. Thank you Sir.

Nelson Mendela comment is really interesting. Mendela chose that life, and at some point, you have to know, especially being dedicated to so much non-violent resistance, that he did not do it for ego, he chose prison, he chose, suffering, and in the end they acheive victory and won the world. Very christ-like behavior.

The statesman news man

Trever Mc donut is a leg end x.

Shout out Trever McDonald - has interviewed some of the most important figures of the 20th century.

Sir Trevor. What a gent he is

Absolute ICON

The Catholics don't march in Protestant areas during 'Marching season'

Was this filmed in a dark souls boss room? damn

Why is John Cleese interviewing him? Why are their men in bowler hats and nuns in the background? More quality content from GB news 🙄🤦‍♂️

Deport

Amazing part of gb news. 2 nation treasure

Wow he is still alive Living legend

Why are there nuns knitting in the background when though lol, why can’t they just do a normal interview?

Love Sir Trevor. I wish he'd been able to talk at his leisure re Saddam & Mandela interviews. Fascinating insights. The Robin Island Prisoners quarried rocks in all weathers, no sunglasses or protective eyewear. The glare alone damaged their eyesight.

OMGOSH I wish this interview would just be quiet and let him finish speaking!🤦🏼‍♀️

Compromise? Hmmmm… what an interesting concept

His blue eyes are so pretty

I right clicked a little over a minute into the interview when the host cut in on what the guest was saying which was interesting to hear comments coming from someone who has been in the media for that long. I'm a fan of John's humour but he's not a great interviewer.

Bong!

Never a token

I love this man
