When Buzz "ambushed" a Moon Hoax believer !!!
Nick Pope wrote back in April 1999:

"All this puts me in mind of one of the most amusing pieces of television I've ever seen, when Matthew Williams was invited onto Channel 4's The Big Breakfast, and allowed to trot out all the usual nonsense about how the moon landings were faked. He was midway through a nervous and rambling summary of other people's research when a caption was put up, telling viewers that what Williams didn't know was that Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon, was in the next room! How the presenter managed to keep a straight face, I'll never know. Aldrin was duly brought on, and I'll never forget the look on little Matty's face as long as I live, as he was totally and utterly humiliated on live national television. He doubtless wished that the ground would open and swallow him up. I was hoping that Aldrin would press the point, look Williams in the eye, and simply ask if he was calling him a liar. Given that Aldrin had put his life on the line to fly what was certainly a dangerous mission, he could have been excused for being somewhat aggrieved at anybody who suggested he'd lied about the whole thing, and had never been. But he was the perfect gentleman, and didn't push the point. Nonetheless, it was game, set and match to Aldrin, and a total disaster for conspiracy theorists. How I laughed!"
