The Clive James ShowInterviews with Richard E. Grant, Ian McEwan, and more.

In March 2007, Slate launched The Clive James Show—video interviews that esteemed British critic Clive James conducts in his home with notable personalities like Cate Blanchett and Terry Gilliam, as well as friends such as Sir Jeremy Isaacs and Howard Jacobson, who are less familiar faces on this side of the Atlantic. Take a look at an exclusive new interview with writer and actor Richard E. Grant, as well as a newly posted interview with writer Jung Chang from Clive James' archives.
