Simon Callow speaking French in an interview

I chanced upon this piece of footage on my satellite receiver one evening, when the Edinburgh Festival was still ongoing. It shows Simon Callow discussing Charles Dickens in French with a journalist from news channel France 24. UPDATE (Nov. 2014) I have added subtitles to translate what is being said; access these through settings on the right-hand side of the video. Apologies for missing out the beginning ; I found it midway through the interview.
