Good pun that.

I liked Clive Anderson's show back in the day but the Bee Gees were polite throughout this interview, didn't deserve the cheap digs and can't blame them for walking out, thanks to Limmy for the thorough analysis (again)

Clive Anderson made one crack about their dreadful old band name and Barry Gibb threw a strop that made him look like a complete twat. Cheap digs lol, he used their own stupidity against them.

​@@seancomrie4714 the Beegees wrote some of the best melodies and harmonies of the 70s... "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", "How Deep Is Your Love", "Nights on Broadway", "Inside and Out", "Night Fever"... Any songwriter would kill to be able to create melodies and harmonies like that. Their music might not have been political or groundbreaking but within its genre and what it intended to do it was incredible. It's not like they had to he revered but it was constant digs and straight up insults were just nasty, they were too intelligent not to pick up on them really.

You can see Robin notice Barry is fuming and he's worried, it's taking him back to when Barry used to kick off and beat his younger brothers up.

The problem is that he is trying to find every pun and joke possible he probably didn’t mean to cal then shit, not believe it but the joke presented itself

He rarely let them even finish a sentence lol. It's one thing constantly being interrupted while you're talking, but being slagged while being interrupted totally takes away any investment you have for answering.

“Shit writers”? How dare you! I think this next one will prove you wrong Clive… 🎵 I will stand for ice cream if I can🎵

Did anyone see the episode - it might have been the following show - where Clive Anderson had Alan Partridge on as a guest? There's a great moment relating to this interview. Clive says something to Alan about him sometimes insulting his guests on Knowing Me, Knowing You, and Alan Partridge responds with something like 'well, it happens, but it's never intentional, I'd never be THAT rude.'

I saw that clip the other day. Coogan is going to be top dog wherever he goes, but going onto Anderson the week after the Bee Gees walkout is like a comedian doing his set after the last comedian has bombed. Anderson was probably pleased he only got a light roasting by Partridge

@@user-pm8xv4vf1u I just watched the Partridge clip again and I got it completely wrong. It's even better. He says to Clive Anderson 'there's a fine line between having a bit of a jape or a joke with someone and just being downright rude.' Clive responds, nervously, with 'and where do you think that line might be?' Partridge responds with 'behind you...'

"Oooooof" cracks me up

Came here looking forward to a laugh, having enjoyed Limmy's first analysis of this. Ended up staying and quite seriously agreeing with every point he made. Barry was 100% right here and very restrained. (And I thought Clive was funny in those days, when I was about 12,, from "Whose Line . . ." etc)

Because he was an amateur, he got his own show on the basis that he was the quick witted presenter on Whose Line Is It Anyway but he wasn't an experienced broadcaster. He was fine when he was cracking jokes with guests he liked and respected but he was obviously no good at picking up signals from guests because he usually didn't have to. He obviously had no interest in the Bee Gees and he clearly had no idea how to approach the interview

Has Limmy ever watched the Billy Bob Thornton interview ?

Not long after this Bee Gees incident, Steve Coogan was on Clive Anderson's show in character as Alan Partridge and he made reference to this incident, saying something like "..there's a big difference between humorous banter and just being plain rude....". When Alan Partridge is being critical of your interview technique and is spot on, it's pretty sorry state of affairs.

According to Wikipedia, Clive Anderson supports Rangers and his father was from Glasgow.

False.

I like that his reanalysis. Wish we had Limmy analysing the Zapfruder tape

I like Clive Anderson but he was being a bit of a tosser here. I get the thing of taking down folk with big egos but the Bee Gees were being pretty humble and polite. They rolled with the punches to begin with but he just pushed it too far.

The Bee Gees endured an entire period of mockery during the death of disco which massively hurt their artistic pride, of course its still a sore point when a host is trying to belittle their legacy

I watched this at the time. Started well then Clive tried too hard to be edgy 😆

The Bee Gees were musical giants.

I like the bee gees. I like Clive Anderson. I think the lads took it up wrong. It's a comedy show and you literally said "we were called les tosseurs". I mean what did you expect?

I don’t think the “shit writers” line was the problem. It was clearly an off-the-cuff quip after he queried if ‘hit writers’ was the right term, and the Bee Gees will have recognised it was just quick wit and not a premeditated attack. The problem is that by this point they were already tired of constant little digs in general, and Clive just wasn’t picking up on their frustrations

What's awkward compared to modern chat shows is that the audience is not laughing at all.

Clive talkin! Im a genius, what a guy i am

Superficial glib humour doesn't mix with 3 music legends and gentleman.🥶

This was Clive’s whole Schtick though, he was a piss taker but was able to take it back from guests with good humour. The gees should have been forewarned. I thought the le tosseurs joke was brilliant.

Heres my take - Clive had too long with them, he was obviously out of his comfort zone and was struggling to think of good questions and how to conduct this interview. So he took the cheap and easy option of taking the piss. Backfired!

need to get the shug from still game to analyse that "fuck off".

Brilliant analysis from Limmy, he's so good at this sort of thing! Bringing together Clive Anderson, a smug Oxbridge smartarse with a lofty disdain for popular culture, and the Bee Gees, of all groups, was almost certain to end in tears. Anyone remember the Hee Bee Gees? The pisstake of the Bee Gees in the 80s? That was the product of Oxbridge contemporaries of Anderson's: Angus Deayton, Richard Curtis, Philip Pope. So what could go wrong here? Anyway, if you know anything about the Gibb brothers then this is a revealing interview as they're all very much in character. Barry is bullish and taking himself a wee bit too seriously, Robin is moody and prone to being oversensitive and Maurice is just very friendly and laidback. Barry really strikes me as a guy you wouldn't want to fall out with!

It’s not a “big heid” Anderson has, it’s the lack of a neck he has.

This is actually "post wig" Robin.

He insulted sting as well.

The reason Barry didn't walk out sooner is because he had to gather himself enough for a 15 second exit. Barry was well on the back foot after a couple of witty (snide) remarks from Anderson. A few bad gags later and Barry felt good enough to walk out on the child.

Clive Anderson the human Cabbage Patch Kid!

This is fascinating. I often find Clive Anderson very funny (as well as his writing for others), but you can absolutely tell he used to be a lawyer, and he's acting like a pillock here.

This was just usual Clive talk. Who's Line Is It Anyway level friendly jibe at their name which had a high likelyhood of being mentioned, not to be taken seriously. I only saw one hurt Bee Gee and ego. The last to go was pretty mellow about the situation

Clive Anderson is a national treasure in England. From the gemstone Cuntrocite.

Imagine interviewing music royalty like The Bee Gees and being an absolute prick.

The Bee Gees were an amazing comedy routine. So cool that people took them seriously. The beards and falsetto are top tier comedy gold. Reminds me of Christopher Guest and his crew from Spinal Tap.

I remember this when it happened. I was a teenager. It was the 90's. I hated the Bee Gees. A lot of what Clive was mocking them for was true....They were outdated, uncool, unfashionable. I thought they were SHIT, and the interview underlined for me what a prick Barry Gibb was. Limmy's analysis however, has made me rethink the situation entirely. Gibb was right... Anderson just got them on to take the piss out of them. Just looking for opportunities between the questions to humiliate them and their work. Fuck Clive. I'm on Barry's side for literally the first time in my life.

I really don't see why they got the hump about this. It wasn't even edgy. It was just a bit of rolling banter. It they didn't take themselves so seriously in terms of protecting the image they would have had a great evening. They could have thrown it back to him.

@CLBellamey

26 күн бұрын

It's not banter if it's just one way though. Clive had clearly pored over their history to write in as many humiliating jokes as he could, and had them prepared in advance. I'm guessing they didn't know anywhere near as much about him to throw anything back on the spot, and they couldn't exactly shoehorn in a jab at Clive when the topic of conversation is about them, so it was massively weighted in Clive's favour. And it's really the host's responsibility to make sure everyone's having a good time, not the guests.

Clive anderson annoyed me that time I mind it. He's clever but i didnt like what he did.

beyond the bad jokes and insults he's just a bad interviewer. never shuts up for more than a second

Barry Gibb is so far up his own arse Maurice has a sense of humour Robin off to put another box of frogs in his throat

Ya wee fanny

This was soooo awkward. They are my favourite group. Right from the off it didn't go well. Robin was pissed too....Mo , always the man in the middle. Loyal, so followed them. Clive was an embarrassment here. Shame because I quite liked him before this .
