In The Psychiatrist鈥檚 Chair
Kirsty Young, herself no stranger to the art of interview, recalls Anthony Clare's extraordinary skill in encouraging well known people to reveal themselves in his interview series
25 years ago, the actor Glenda Jackson became Anthony Clare's final interviewee In the Psychiatrist's Chair. The series had featured scores of well known people talking about themselves, often with refreshing candour and honesty.
Kirsty Young, herself a highly respected interviewer, looks back at those programmes and talks to some of those who took part - Ann Widdecombe, Uri Geller, Hanif Kureshi, Paul Theroux - and finds out more about Anthony Clare the man and his extraordinarily incisive methods.
