The Q&A session by Dawkins after the reading of The God Delusion in Lynchburg, VA . All the standard questions of the believing brigade properly disposed off. Fabulous. The video plays for about an hour.

Thanks for that link of the q&a session. His answers were very carefully thought out, and mostly very polite.
Good stuff.
