He had his day in the 90s, but sadly the beeb-those who kicked him out when he demanded a pay rise-seem keen to bring him back of late. MES just takes the piss. If he doesn't think yuo're worth talking too or taking seriously he will misbehave, and that's what he's doing here. Its like sending a lamb to the slaughter

I can't believe some of things said here. If you're a fall obsessive you should know all there is to know. Plus i'd have thought it a bit strange if Brix hadn't popped up, she was married to him after all. Also, it was Mark that brought up his sisters not Frank. The comment after this was probably the most honest anyone would have made. Your comment actually makes you sound like some sort of church goer, dull & boring.

Interviews are a game, usually a band or whatever wants promotion, so they make the most of their few mintues to push themselves. Or they're young men who have lots of ideas about the world, and want the world to listen. MES has either made his peace, or never gave much of a shite to start with. He's got nothing he wants to say, so the usual interview stuff, where they ask a token question and let the interviewee get on with it, doesn't work. I think what'd be best is to get a couple of drinks down him, though not so many that he becomes a pain, and just chat about life and stuff. Make it a long-form thing, then edit down the highlights. From reading "Renegade", one problem with MES is boredom. He gets bored, and if he's pissed he'll start little fights, verbal or otherwise, just to amuse himself. But the bloke spends half his life in the pub, he must talk to people about something, so get him going like that, and record it. The usual 2-minute thing only works on people who are desperate to be heard. MES has some interesting things to say, but doesn't really care about getting them out to people.
