Well,
unfortunately for different reasons I cannot see the video now (probably
in the nest months).  As far as
I remember Gould was complaining about the lack of structure and things
like that.

There are some others italians on the list, so if they saw the TV show
and/or recorded it and/or remember it they could reply. It was
on RaiTre I think around 1994, some years after they showed the whole set
of documentaries on Gould (the ones presented by Rattalino)

Cheers,
Antonio
