I caught the end of a show-promoting interview with him on Radio 2 yesterday - and set the video. I'll watch it when I'm alone and can think clearly.
It was interesting: listening to Steve Wright futilely trying to point out to him that there's more to life than science - that mediums can be comforting, religion can bring hope etc.. Dawkins said that he doesn't have any problem with people who believe ... if they don't try to force others to their beliefs. That's interesting, coming from him, when my experience is that he's made a career out of mocking other beliefs from (what he believes is) a superior perspective.
