that you couldn t have on network television. - people are really trying to do something adventurous. [both gasp] all: channel 7, shame on you. - this is more a celebration of culture and opening the doors and allowing america to come on inside. - there s always something on television, and some of it may be better than we deserve. - [laughs] that was cool. [dramatic music] - listen to it. oh! [crowd cheering] they know when it hits the bottom, it ll be 1990. good-bye to the 80s in. all: ten, nine. all: eight. eight! eight! eight! - oh, will this horrible year never end? - when the 90s begin, we re starting to see a lot of experimentation. [gunshots] all: [quickly] seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! [cheering] - and the simpsons, i think, in some senses was inspired by not necessarily a hatred of television but a distrust of a lot of the ways in which television was talking to us. - tv respects me. it laughs with me, not at me. - [laughing] you stupid - d oh! -

And career as the man im about to meet. Hes gone from Working Class dundee in the post war years to londons theatre land in the swinging 60s and then film and television stardom. Brian cox has featured in over 100 movies and played stage roles to great acclaim. But its his role as succession s logan roy, the Maniacal Media Boss and terrifying patriarch that is seeing him become a superstar. You have to be a killer. Like the character he plays, cox can be fearsome and forthright on everything from scottish politics. We have been treated so badly time and time and time and time again. To his fellow actors, michael caine. The winner of numerous awards for his performances on stage and screen, hes a master of his craft. Now in his mid 70s, cox is at the height of his powers creatively and the height of his anger politically. Its very, very good to see you. Thank you so much for speaking to me and for speaking to the bbc. I want to talk to you about so much. I think it makes sense to begin
