Product Description

A man of many talents, from Oscar-winning actor and raconteur to photographer and charity worker, his topics range from army life to spying and Pol Pot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sadly missed, 23 Jul 2004
By A Customer
I have listened to this tape at least six times since I received it a month or so ago and each time it charms me anew. Why do I like it so much? Maybe it's my great admiration for the man himself and the easy way he draws in the listener to his point of view. Maybe it's the stories and anecdotes themselves, each one peppered with hilarious mimicry and deep insights into the human condition. Maybe its because Sir Peter is now gone and the sound of his voice on tape brings someone back to life who I will sadly never meet. What I do know for certain is at the end of the tape I feel lifted but also saddened there isn't another hour of banter with Peter and the genial John Bird.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare, warm spark of humanity melting the coldness of world, 23 Aug 2003
By buddingpasha "A multilateralist" (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ustinov at Eighty (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
Peter Ustinov's energy always impresses me. In this interview with John Bird,he uses the vehicle of experience and comedy to relate his work over the years both in the performed arts, his (he is very modest about this) work for Unicef and international relations and also his positive and humanistic view of the world. Burnt out and at the end of a hard week I fet the cares lifted from me. Touchingly modest he says when described by John Bird as a a Raconteur..."..that's someone who is too lazy to write it down."

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Man, 22 April 2005
By Bradley Meredith "celticwiseman" (Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this a while ago, on the strength of an interview shown with Parkinson. Never heard of the man before this and being only 19 at the time, Ustinovs humour in serious situations, the acceptability of the situation without over consideration made me think a lot. Very funny, talented all-round performer that just oozed calmness and explained things as well as anyone. He was an intellectual man, often blaming the UK for not supporting the bright things of the country, and showed that bullying is often because of someone being jealous of anothers intellect. We are taught to be middle of the road people, not push to hard or you will be beaten up. It rings true, and in this audiobook, he discusses the various cultures of Europe and how they all differ. This is a good man, very charitable as will be heard about his work for UNICEF, not as all the other celebrities just sponsor for a little while, but was actively involved. A character the world is poorer for losing.
