That is the link to Part 1 of youtube's copy of the interview that took place between Meg and Parkinson in 2003.
It is a topic of hot controversy with split views;
some people believe that he was in the wrong and treated her insultingly and others believe that it was she, on the other hand that was hot and unforgiving.
Here is my opinion...

He was wierd to her from the start, muttering something about her fashion choices (to align with the previous fashion segment with Trinny and Suzannah) and she was off balance from there.
When she had finally gathered her bearings, he continued to fire armed questions her way, admittedly she was heading into subjective/deep territory, but I admire her for having such deep convictions on the duality existing in romance and love in her movie "In the Cut".

However, what got me offside was when halfway through he accused her of being "wary" of journalists based on her body language and the few minutes of that interview. Well I say, good on her for sticking out the interview, Parkinson should go easy on people who have their own convictions and not batter them down with his mightier-than-thou attitude.
Anyway,
hopefully you get a chance to see it,
food for thought,
over and out,
Beck
