It seems to be the same film that I shared in
post #33 of this thread, except that the version you've posted has higher resolution, whereas the version I posted has an additional 1m58s introduction. Regardless, I think it's useful to have more than one copy of this film shared to the thread in case one of them gets taken offline, so no need to apologise!

Yeah, when I started viewing it I remembered I'd seen it before!
In the Psychiatrist's Chair
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06vc3zc
Uri Geller reflects on his unusual life with Professor Anthony Clare.
Psychiatrist Dr Anthony Clare's in depth interviews with prominent people from different walks of life.
From August 1996.

I'm pretty sure this totally debunks Uri Geller, I know it was Randi's idea (and I know he isn't liked around here), but Uri is just a magician like Randi.

There's a video of the full segment here. I haven't watched it all, but I dipped into it and strangely Geller does appear to bend a spoon while someone else is holding it. I must admit I can't see how the trick is done, if it is a trick. It's at 15.30+:

I don't see how a single video can cover the entire lifetime of Geller and explain every moment of it. Rather than making extravagant claims, it might be more informative to read through this entire thread from the start.

I'm sorry, but Uri failed in that situation just like Randi expected. He failed because Randi knew he was going to use conjuring tricks. He then started speaking about "not feeling strong enough" in that moment, how convenient for him!
I know most people arund here hates Randi but when he is right, he is right. He got blatantly exposed as a fraud in that case.
The lab testing was also unreliable, he had a fellow inside the lab the whole time and was allowed to get close to the equipment more than once. He could have tampered it with some sleight of hand.

From what I can understand, the spoon was provided and not brought by Radin himself to this spoon bending party. So, the experiment is invalid, as the spoon could have been easily altered in many different ways before the event.
