So much of his humor is in the pauses, expressions and throw away lines as he changes subjects. Amazing talent.

I do get what people say about this interview.....but bear in mind this was breakfast TV and she would have been warned that Sir Les is quite a chap.....she kept a smile on her face and we all had fun. Sir Les is a gem, there will never be another Australian Diplomat with quite this level of charm ever again.

Humphreys is such a clever comic, lightning fast thought and brilliant delivery. I think he must have despaired over this entirely thick interviewer who is completely out of her depth. But he remains gentle and courteous with her, and gets through it: what a trouper! Met him once at lunch in HK in the late 70's, when he was appearing at the Mandarin Hotel in a cabaret turn. I recall he appeared through the audience at the start of his act as Sir Les, and took the place by storm. Offstage he was as funny and clever as when appearing professionally, it's now almost 50 years ago, but I remember being in constant gales of laughter. A comedy genius.

Bit late with a comment for you old mate, I don't know if a lot of people knew that Sir Les was born with a peculiar defect in the trouser department,a lot of women and men too I suppose,had varied reactions to noticing his massive cock,(sorry, no other words do it justice), from Parkinson's show with Jackie Weaver when she notices,a different time,but she was an Aussie as well,he talks about his defect with shame, hilarious.🇦🇺👍
