BBC reporter losing the plot interviewing a Scientologist

If there’s one video clip you watch today - make it this one now immortalised on youtube!

John Sweeney a BBC reported loses the plot entirely with a member of the Church of Scientology during an interview.  It firstly uncomfortable to watch and then you think - well, we’ve all wanted to do it frankly!

If it’s not showing below then the URL is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxqR5NPhtLI

  1. if you want context (of a sort) then here it is..

    here you can watch the whole Panorama programme that contains Sweeney’s outburst.

    It’s not the greatest news documentary of all time by a long stretch but it’s pretty watchable.

    Still, i’ll take Southpark’s brilliant Scientology episode as the best possible way to counter these zealots.

    if you haven’t, you should…

  2. For some reason, this reminds me of the teachers in Pink Floyd The Wall.

  3. john ‘de de ner, de deh neer, de de neeer’ Sweeney (my attempt at 70s cop theme tune phonetically oh ok: unsuccessful)

    Jesus this is obsessing me! I am sooooo hooked on this story…. I love John Sweeney and I hate Tom ‘4 foot’ Cuise.

    I think the poor ba*tard was hypnotised or mind-washed personally.

    Long live the Sweeney.

    He was even stalked at his wedding (apparently)..

    my stars today said ‘virtually everything i decide today will be wrong’ which is proving unerringly accurate.
