I saw the one where he interviews Richard Burton. Burton spouted all sorts of impenetrable stuff, like "I woke up one morning and the world was just too beautiful, and I couldn't bear it, so I decided to die". Parky nodded at this paradoxical nonsense, and offered "you decided to commit suicide?", which Burton dismissed with a laugh "no!". It turned out Burton meant he decided to drinking himself to death, which isn't the same apparently.
I learned nothing about Burton except that he liked a drink. Which I'd already suspected.
They didn't show enough of his pants. 
Nice to see you back, chip.
