Mark Lawson Talks To: GF Newman

I’ve loved these programmes, and this one is a great example of how wonderful it is to have undiluted access to an interviewee. GF Newman is a strange fish. A believer of reincarnation with no argument to support it, famous for imposing a vegan regime on film sets, and personally crediting himself as the inspiration for Dick Wolf’s Law & Order series, he makes compelling viewing if for no other reason than he is really quite scary to watch. Like a coiled spring, or Hannibal Lector eyeing up his next victim, I’m surprised Lawson managed to stay so calm. Only a day or so left… Hurry, hurry, hurry.
