Let's be fair here.
The interviewer was Eleanor Oldroyd, who used to do a one-hour
programme from 11 to midnight on Fridays on Radio 4, talking to
various sportsmen and generally making sport reasonably
interesting to non-sports-addicts. I heard her interview and
thought it was very fair and a decent length - if you look back
to Pierre Tanner's original message he says 4 to 6 minutes, which
is a long interview. Her failure to know the difference between a
rifle and a shotgun gave Richard a chance to set her straight,
and her interview also brought out well his very young start to
shooting and his dedication.
She certainly wasn't "dumbing down" the interview content, but
made it clear and accessible to Radio 4 listeners. It's likely
that having her mistake corrected would make the interview stick
in the listener's mind better, and she was not pushing any anti
views, which makes a change for Radio 4.
It was certainly positive enough to flabbergast me, too.
