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)
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)
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
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.'
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
The Bee Gees probably sacked their marketing promo team after this. Clive probably took too much pre show dickhead dust and allowed himself to get carried away.
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?
Like studying the month before the first world war
Loool
The Bee Gees were musical giants.
“Shit writers”? How dare you! I think this next one will prove you wrong Clive…
🎵 I will stand for ice cream if I can🎵

"Oooooof" cracks me up
I like Clive Anderson.
Same

He creates the joke though. He goes ‘you were hit writers. Well maybe one letter off’. I bet he had that written for days.
Did the Bee Gees invent Turkey Teeth?
Yes
This is actually "post wig" Robin.
According to Wikipedia, Clive Anderson supports Rangers and his father was from Glasgow.
Was a good watch. Thanks

How did Clive not see the tension in front of him
Massive lines of cocaine before the show

Honestly Clive Anderson would fit right in the limmy twitch community
What's awkward compared to modern chat shows is that the audience is not laughing at all.
Bee Gees will be remembered forever but nobody is going to remember Clive Anderson
Neo will.

i'll always love Red Chair Fadeaway by the Bee Gees
I watched this at the time.
Started well then Clive tried too hard to be edgy 😆

You know nothing. 😂

He’s being snide and rude right from the beginning. I like Clive Anderson, but tbf hes being a proper 🔔🔚 here.

Clive was just trying to be funny but most 'jokes/puns' came off like digs.
Ya wee fanny
Imagine interviewing music royalty like The Bee Gees and being an absolute prick.
