Daily Mail: Is Jeremy Paxman chatshow material?

People in the US are not allowed to see Newsnight on the web using the BBC player. If anyone can figure out how to save and download this onto Youtube etc., it would be greatly appreciated. It should be a good interview.
Lol
Hitchens: They say i have cancer of the esophagus because ive used that organ for blaspheme. Ive used a lot of other organs for blaspheme as well.

Tom,
Newsnight has just sent out its programme alert, suggesting they will show the interview tonight (previously it was only a taster). best to check
Find a uk based proxy server and go on BBC iplayer through the proxy and you should be able to watch it
Hi everyone,
The link at the top of this page now contains the full interview - the short taster clip has been overwritten.
It's available internationally to watch.
