John then accused Karishma of trying to portray him as “old-fashioned”. He tweeted, “She then asked a disjointed question, clearly trying to portray me as old-fashioned, uncaring and harmful”. He added, “Karishma is not interested in discussing this with me. She just wants to play the prosecutor. BBC needs to retrain her”.

Following the interview, a BBC spokesperson explained, “This was a fair and appropriate interview, covering topics that John Cleese has previously covered as well as topics on his new tour.”
