Radio Interview with Ben

[Has]

Hey guys I have not posted here in ages but I have lurked regularly and its good to see old faces and new ones too !:D
I came across this post on the digitalspy cult forums and I thought people would like to post or PM questions to him for the interview.


Hi,

I work for a station called Original 106, and one of the presenters is a big fan of Farscape - something we share in common - he saw me looking at the forums and mentioned he has only got an interview lined up with Ben Browder...I think he's recording tomorrow night (Fri 03/08).

Anyone got any questions they want answered - post quickly!

Not sure when it'll be broadcast, but I'll post more when I know - just thought it would be of interest.

Thanks Has
Well the station is the new regional across the south east - so if you're in West Sussex, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Southampton, Winchester and along the M3 you can tune to 106fm - on line at www.original106.com.

As to when - well, not sure at the minute - but will probably be sometime soon - I will post well before it airs though.

I posted on the forum and it looks like this is real but if they are recording tomorrow UK time it has to be quick for submitting questions ;D I just have to think of a good one lol

Ben Browder



Farscape was a show that took me by suprise. I didn't watch the first episode and only casually dipped into the subsequent few, but then something strange began to happen. I found myself watching it more and more, and noticing the humour, the great stories, the great acting, and the central character of astronaut John Crichton lost at the other side of the universe, but with a ready quip and a likable style, he grew into his surroundings and so began to enthrall me with a set of stories that epitomised great television.

I decided that if there was ever a reason to interview the actor behind the character, I would. Before that show, I never even knew who Ben Browder was. But I soon grew to realise that this was a guy of immense talent, intelligence and wit, who really is a hero.

And here it is! The interview...But not just the radio version oh no! Whilst talking to Ben about his work on Farscape and SG1, it occurred to me that if you're a fan, you might like to hear it all, you know, warts and all.

So with Ben's permission, here is all of our chat, the bonus unheard material you might say.

Enjoy.

Hey, I was wondering if someone could repost that interview. That website no longer hosts it and I would love to listen to it.
