It is a pleasure to watch Mark being interviewed about a topic that he is interested in and by an informed interviewer.

Hilarious that the one question that is such a cliche was asked by Bill Forsyth as a joke. And Mark kind of laughed it off. ("Which comes first, the music or the words?")

Very nice interview.

Very nice. Great to hear something "new" from Mark.

Mk looks very nervous, playing with his glasses in his hands, sometimes a bit shaky...

I was surprised to see how greasy his glasses are. I polish mine every second and hate every bit of dust on them.
Don't look nervous to me though, just your typical late MK. He does look old and it breaks my heart, but that's life.

They are greasy because he have them in his hands and he's touching them all the time, moving the glasses between the fingers...

That's the reason I say he's nervous. Unless you are nervous you don't do that with your glasses because they get greasy. You take them off and put them on a table or somewhere, and some people put them on his head (I don't like when people does that...) but you never play with them in your hands, unless you are nervous and need something in your hands to touch and move.

It's interesting that they did a new interview for the bluray instead of using the old footage from 1982 or the interview recorded for the Local Hero Musical

His jowls is really bad in the BD video but not so evident in the other videos.  A bit like Droopy!  He also looks a little red around the eyes.

When I first saw this clip I thought "man, what a bad lighting set for doing an interview". We can discuss Mark's looks, but all of his imperfections has been magnified 10 times with this kind of lighting. It's a rehearsal studio, not a recording or a photo studio of some kind. I think anyone would look bad there.
