I really enjoy them. He picks topics which people have very definate preconceived ideas about, and his interviews are great because they really disrm the intervieweee, not because he asks the questions they don't want to answer, but just because of his style.
In the book I'm reading he re-visits the people he interviewed for a BBC series he filmed (Weird Weekends) - a prostitute, a self help guru, a male pornstar, UFO weirdo, the lot. He somehow manages to get into these industries really well, and actually uncovers things which can change your perception of these people.
He's very readable, very funny but very perceptive too. Much prefer his writing to his father's.
