I forgot exactly what I was looking for, but I came across this interview UK talk show host Michael Parkinson did with Peter Sellers in 1974. Sellers was, of course, one of the great comic actors, but according to this backstory, Sellers did very few interviews, and was very hard to interview in his own personality, as opposed to the many characters and impressions he did.
Anyway, the interview is a bit choppy in YouTube format (there’s a lot of overlap between the first two videos), but is full of fascinating Sellers impressions and bits, some Pink Panther outtakes, as well as a pinch of pathos about his failed marriages toward the end.
Seller died in 1980, but Michael Parkinson is still alive.

Love this interview with Peter Sellers and Michael Parkinson – there is a section I believe that has been omitted – it is where Peter Sellers refers to a time when he was in the band, Jive Bombers as a drummer. The recording of the show had this reference in it….can you tell me where to locate the entire recording so I can track this piece of information. My father played piano with Peter Sellers in the Jive Bombers in the later 40’s to 50s in London so it’s an important item to me. Please email me if you have any leads to this snippet I am looking for re JIVE BOMBERS
