We need more people like this on the telly.

When I first saw Richard on BBC World, I couldn't stand him. But, somewhere down the line I have come to find him totally compelling. I only wish we could see him in action here in the UK.

Richard is great, Although he seemed a bit more "wild" when he used to be on the beeb compared to now on CNN, maybe the brits fed him more cups of coffee in the morning and the americans have him on decaf lattes :)

Ps Hi Jonny W , long time no see
