It was not an interview at all, and they had enough. Clive would not shut up. Understanding it was his show, but he should have done a one man show if he wanted to talk nonstop.
Atmosphere really changed when he hinted at “shit writers”. There was absolutely no need for that. There’s poking and having a laugh and then there’s just being downright rude and obnoxious. The BeeGees didn’t deserve that

Back in the mid 1980 s I worked as a chef in Oxford. The Three brothers would come in sometimes and sit in a closed off section of the restaurant. I was a Chef in an open plan kitchen so could see the three of them. Always polite and friendly to the waiting staff. Always without fail. Good guy and sadly missed by us all.
Which restaurant was that? I grew up near Oxford so probably know it. Robin used to live at Thame (as a matter of fact he's buried in the church yard there) so I guess that would explain why they would visit.
It was a the coffee shop attached to the Randolph Hotel. No idea if the restaurant is still there but it was opposite the martyrs memorial and down stairs on the side of the Randolph. I normally worked in the main restaurant but was sent in to sort out some issues. Great staff and enjoyed my time in Oxford.

It seems like the "les tossers" comment at 6:12 is what really changed the atmosphere between Barry and Clive. To his credit, Barry tried to politely continue...but then came the "my dog likes it'" comment followed by the "I forgot that one." Fair fucks to them for getting up and leaving. 👍
Wasn't just one comment. The spiritual dynamic from the getgo was unauthorized. In other words, this was a temptation. The questions never really cared for answers but were sped through with derisive jabs. Closest I've come to this was going to a job interview for a job I wasn't meant to have.
The way the brothers supported each other and how Barry handled this shows all 3 are a class above these so called journalists. You can hear Robyn say walking off 'this was a set up'. I admire these brothers even more for the way they handled themselves.
Iv'e just watched this again , and it's the first time I,ve picked up on Robin saying " this was a setup" , it was at that point Anderson looked really shocked , what an insulting dick he was all the way through the interview.

It's a spiritual dynamic at work. Likely someone tempted the BeeGees to do the interview, they unbeknownst said yes. And from there, however well intended Clive was-- his demons had a big say.
After Maurice and Robin had passed away, Barry played at Glastonbury. An audience made up of mainly millennials totally unfamiliar with the music of the BeeGees. Yet they still knew this man had serious gravitas, and not only did they show all due respect to him, they actually really enjoyed his time on stage. It says a lot about him and them; you don’t just happen to become music royalty, it only occurs after years of hard work but above all enormous talent.
Well said. No education in the world can outweigh simple manners and respect for others. I like that you made a point of the crowed being millennials and still had respect. Where Clive was born in the 50’s
Millennials have parents who play their music, thereby educating their offspring. Streaming services have options that show you where other people who share your musical interests, listen to. Also artists similar to the ones they listened to. I listen to music from before either one of my parents were even born. The options are plenty for everybody to discover everything, so your assumption is utter .... I am old enough to know some of the Bee Gees hits from when they came out (although too young to care at the time). Their hits are okay, when I hear them on the radio, I even have some on some random compilation albums, but none of their songs will make it into my top 1,000 of greatest songs ever made, and if you only go on talk shows to have the host blow smoke up your backside, you have a serious ego problem. So the misters Gibb will not be in my top 100,000 of greatest people that ever lived. Another interview where Barry walked out because of a question : Barry said something about how influential the Bee Gees had been, and all the interviewer did was ask for an explanation. To me, that was an interesting question, because I wouldn't be able to tell you ANY influence they were responsible for. I still couldn't. Disco, tight pants, hit singles, brothers making music, falsetto singing, mediocre songs, overinflated egos... They had all been around from before their career started. Well, not the disco, obviously, but that was an impressive example of them jumping the money train end reviving their career (also around from before their careers started).
This guy was passive-aggresive and rude from the beginning. I've been in conversations like this. I'm surprised they stayed so long. The sarcasm gets really old quickly I love Barry's style handling this.

@@pollypurree1834 Years ago I saw some of Clive's shows. I didn't find him particularly interesting, but he did manage to get a good interview out of his guests. This was definitely not his format. I wonder whether he thought he was being "cool" interviewing members of one of the greatest pop groups and that he thought he was speaking at their level.0
This never ceases to make me cringe. The really sad part is, you can see that Barry was okay with a bit of fun at the beginning... all of them were. But there's a gulf between a few cheeky jokes and just being outright insulting. Saying "You're hit writers... well, we're one letter short" was over the line, and you can see Barry visibly offended there. If Clive was a decent interviewer he could have read the guest and humorously apologized, then dialed it back... but he just keeps pushing. As someone else said, the "You'll always be tossers to me" (which was just nasty) comment is where you really feel the energy shift to a bad place. I've done a bunch of celebrity interviews and I've got great material out of the guests by making them so comfortable they just get into an amazing chat and give you gold. I've never offended or gone for the "cheap shot" to be funny. It's unnecessary and unprofessional. I don't blame them walking off at all.
@@justindenney-hall5875 there's a huge difference between comedic comments and abuse. He was abusive in stating they're shite writers and calling them tossers. How did he expect them to respond? I think he deserved them walking out.
They were tolerant to stay as long as they did. All I can say about Clive is, just plain out stupid. I guess he thinks he is funny, "the joke is on him"
A lot of tension from the start. Clive's trajectory was barreling forward and Barry was trying to head it off by quickly building a brick wall that didnt work. Barry was never anyone to fool with, deeply kind as he was. An absolute mindboggling genius and beyond prolific when it came to song writing.
The Bee Gees knew who Clive Anderson was, they were fans. But they somehow seemed to forget that his chat show was based around Anderson riasting his guests. They admittied to regretting the walk off years later.
@@shaz2761 Recorded plenty more forgetful songs than memorable ones though. But Barry didn't really know that much about music did he? Heck, he thinks Sgt. Pepper was the Beatles "last big album." Funny, The White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be all followed Sgt. Pepper and sold more than every Bee Gee's album with the exception of Saturday Night Fever. By this logic, The Bee Gees were a one album wonder!
They knew what to expect, 2 of them understood his humour and didn't want to leave, but leader goes, they all must :-y ((it was staged, they are all entertainers remember ...))
@@nowayhosay50 hard to figure how he could be that incessantly insulting and think it would be okay. the bee gees helped define much of 70s disco music, and somehow Anderson thought it would be a good thing to attempt to destroy the great work they'd done during that time. unfortunately in the early 80's, there was a segment of western society that wanted to bury disco, mostly 'hard core' rock fans and others who found it to be 'less than'. music is music, and theirs was among the very best.
He was an absolute idiot, hugely disrespectful and you could see Robin had sussed him out straight away. The Bee Gees are legends and this just made Clive look ridiculous, also he kept interrupting. Good for them!

He’s more concerned with him being funny than an interested interviewer. You can tell Barry was getting irritated and good for them for walking out since he was trying to paint them in a bad light and trying to pit them against one another.

My words exactly. Great comment! On another note, I hope that You & Your Family are doing great, staying safe & healthy. Cheers & Respect, ~Mikal Vancouver BC 🇨🇦
No he didn't. The fact Maurice said, "he'd stay...[haha]" shows he didn't quite pick up on what Barry and Robin did: that it was a bad interview laced with derision. I don't think Clive intended that but he is responsible for it.
The bottom line is he called them tossers on live TV. Anyone else would've done the exact same thing. True class act whilst giving the middle finger to a true p***k. Bee Gees absolute legends
When you're a huge musical act yourself, writing your own juggernaut #1 hits, plus behind the scenes you're writing massive (#1's being the golden milestone) hits for other musical acts, I always viewed that as an amazing accomplishment proving truly blazing talent. That's Bee Gees, 100%.
It wasn't mentioned that they got their first hits as the BeeGees in Redcliff Queensland. I know it very well and the house they rented while they were becoming tradies. Redcliff was a dive, full of drunks living in seaside shacks. To pull themselves out of that is another underated achievement. Signed Brisbane Australia.
The brothers didn't have it easy in their early days, they started off as just kids to probably help their parents and it is absolutely disgusting to see how this good-for-nothing disrespected them.
I get this was a show where you get roasted and humiliated in front of people, but this was definitely a step to far. You don’t make fun of peoples personal history, and achievements they’ve made in life that makes someone feel proud. The Bee Gees were gentlemen, always polite and had manners to everyone they ever met, they were great men who deserved respect. Another thing about them, they all stood up for each other no matter what. Even though Maurice wasn’t as offended as Barry and Robin was, he still wasn’t gonna sit there and talk to someone who just offended his brothers and made them leave, he was gonna support them instead. Maurice was even polite to Clive when he was leaving. He was no doubt the best Bee Gee.
I disagree that it was a step too far. Especially the joke that made them leave. The song name was "Don't Forget to Remember" and he cracks that he forgot it. It's not even an insult, just a little "dad joke" on the title. The only thing that might have gone too far was when he joked that he thinks of them as tossers, but since they said it first I think it was both acceptable and predictable the way he said it. And if they took offense at him saying he personally enjoyed their earlier stuff but not really the later stuff, then that's just sensitive egos because every musician has heard that.
I remember watching this when I was 11 years old live on tv, I didn’t know why they walked off at the time, watching this 26 years later it makes perfect sense.
I don't understand why they walked off. I love the Bee Gee's and support them leaving even if I am not sure of why. Would you please explain it to me? I would be so grateful. RIP Maurice and Robin....you are loved always...xoxo
This was a wasted interview. These guys are witty, funny, interesting and full of the best stories from an amazing career. The no-neck idiot was disgraceful, yet they still carried themselves with utmost dignity.
They are there to get publicity. They seem to need a safe space, decades before such spaces were invented. Barry seems to have a massive ego. (I do like their music)
I remember watching this live and thinking it was odd they walked out. Seeing again so many years later, knowing how many hit songs they wrote, and the stick they got after the disco craze, I can understand why they walked out. A few jokes at their expense would have been funny, but Clive was relentless. He'd never have done that to Paul McCartney, Elton John or George Michael etc etc. I'm actually amazed they didn't walk out earlier.
@@jaredleicht1656 there wasn't anything wrong with the jokes... many bee gee's fans are worse tarts than barry gibb... at least he and his brothers went on to say they regretted taking it as seriously as they did
He would have, that was the show. They weren't properly briefed and that was not their or Clive's fault. They gave no indication that they were not going with it; took the Toussers comment etc.
This is what happens when the interviewer is more worried about getting his laughs than doing a good interview with one of the biggest bands at the time
Remember it live…. It was almost the in thing to mock and belittle….glad they took a stand. Lost a lot of respect for Clive then and gained a whole bunch for the bee gees who frankly are incredible song writers and deserving of respect.
How awful to insult those young men on live television , l could see very much Barry was upset. The Bee Gees have always been kind and generous to all there fans. Sending love to Barry and his family, hope the arthritis isn't to painful at present , as suffering myself know l bad it can be . Xx
My musical tastes are everywhere. I still believe the Bee Gees One Night Only album is the best live album to listen to straight through of any genre. Very fun; very easy to listen to, no matter the listener's musical taste.
A few weeks later they appeared on Des O,Conner. Des could give & take a joke & the atmosphere was warm & funny & the guys even played their songs on the couch.
A classic case of Clive Anderson trying to be funny and humorous but totally over stepping the mark and being rather rude at times.. you could tell it was going wrong right from the start, he was stunned when they just walked off. 😂 loved it…
Where's Clive's massive catalog of totally original world famous beloved iconic hit songs spanning multiple decades? Oh, he doesn't have even one song? What a surprise.
Seemed Barry could sense that Robin was getting upset. Clive kept on about their breakup, so Barry had enough of it. Good for them! They have always been a class act. They are brothers, after all, and love IS thicker than water!
Hardly. I remember watching it on TV at the time of broadcast and my family laughed their heads off at these pompous pricks. It made Clive Anderson's show more popular. And years later, Barry at least had the grace to admit he was a humourless prick.
You don't have to like the 70's to recognize that the era was iconic and the hits legendary and major talent. And you don't have to be fan of your guests to be a good host and interviewer.

Clive actually says as Barry's leaving, "I've never had someone walk off before". Why did he say that - did he think they'd go "oh, alright then, we'll sit back down"? If Clive never had walk offs before that's likely not because people hadn't wanted to.

Passive aggressive
So they didn't have the balls to give back Maurice was the hero

That's 100% fair. They were pretty bright guys who often discussed things in a respectful, gentlemanly way.
"I'd love to, but I don't do impressions" wow, Maurice handled that like a champ 😂.

Back in the mid 1980 s I worked as a chef in Oxford.
The Three brothers would come in sometimes and sit in a closed off section of the restaurant.
I was a Chef in an open plan kitchen so could see the three of them. Always polite and friendly to the waiting staff. Always without fail. Good guy and sadly missed by us all.
Which restaurant was that? I grew up near Oxford so probably know it. Robin used to live at Thame (as a matter of fact he's buried in the church yard there) so I guess that would explain why they would visit.
It was a the coffee shop attached to the Randolph Hotel.
No idea if the restaurant is still there but it was opposite the martyrs memorial and down stairs on the side of the Randolph.
I normally worked in the main restaurant but was sent in to sort out some issues.
Great staff and enjoyed my time in Oxford.
Great to hear! Thank you sharing that!

It seems like the "les tossers" comment at 6:12 is what really changed the atmosphere between Barry and Clive. To his credit, Barry tried to politely continue...but then came the "my dog likes it'" comment followed by the "I forgot that one." Fair fucks to them for getting up and leaving. 👍
It proabably did, as Barry Gibb says "you're the tosser pal", when he walks away.
Yes you could see it on Barry's face and I was surprised he tried to bring it back to a polite interview after that
9:27 "We're getting on like..." (what? I couldn't make out Barry's word(s). )
7:12 at this point Barry knows they've been had and he's quite annoyed
(Clive may not even have known how much of an ass he was being)
Wasn't just one comment. The spiritual dynamic from the getgo was unauthorized. In other words, this was a temptation. The questions never really cared for answers but were sped through with derisive jabs. Closest I've come to this was going to a job interview for a job I wasn't meant to have.
Clive's big problem was not shutting up and let people answer
And he was overly rude to be honest
True. His interview style is annoying. That said, walking out seemed an overreaction.
@@RurbanWalker I don't blame them. Sometimes you just decide, I don't have to put up with this crap. It's not like they were known for walking out.

I think he was a bit nervous and he got adhd?😀
The way the brothers supported each other and how Barry handled this shows all 3 are a class above these so called journalists. You can hear Robyn say walking off 'this was a set up'. I admire these brothers even more for the way they handled themselves.
Iv'e just watched this again , and it's the first time I,ve picked up on Robin saying " this was a setup" , it was at that point Anderson looked really shocked , what an insulting dick he was all the way through the interview.

Shame as getting an interview of all 3 together was something he should have treasured
That and a few moments later you barely hear "f**k off!" after Maurice said "Oh, well, I guess I better join them..."
How childish of Barry Gibb. Just needed to get over himself!
When an interviewer talks more than their guest. It’s a lousy interview.
Clive should interview himself. 😂
That look on Clive's face at 9:40 when he realizes they're not joking. Priceless.

A true BLOWHARD. Clive, that is
Clives mouth runs like a ducks ass in berry season
It's a spiritual dynamic at work. Likely someone tempted the BeeGees to do the interview, they unbeknownst said yes. And from there, however well intended Clive was-- his demons had a big say.
After Maurice and Robin had passed away, Barry played at Glastonbury. An audience made up of mainly millennials totally unfamiliar with the music of the BeeGees. Yet they still knew this man had serious gravitas, and not only did they show all due respect to him, they actually really enjoyed his time on stage. It says a lot about him and them; you don’t just happen to become music royalty, it only occurs after years of hard work but above all enormous talent.
Well said. No education in the world can outweigh simple manners and respect for others. I like that you made a point of the crowed being millennials and still had respect. Where Clive was born in the 50’s
Millennials have parents who play their music, thereby educating their offspring. Streaming services have options that show you where other people who share your musical interests, listen to. Also artists similar to the ones they listened to. I listen to music from before either one of my parents were even born. The options are plenty for everybody to discover everything, so your assumption is utter ....
I am old enough to know some of the Bee Gees hits from when they came out (although too young to care at the time). Their hits are okay, when I hear them on the radio, I even have some on some random compilation albums, but none of their songs will make it into my top 1,000 of greatest songs ever made, and if you only go on talk shows to have the host blow smoke up your backside, you have a serious ego problem. So the misters Gibb will not be in my top 100,000 of greatest people that ever lived.
Another interview where Barry walked out because of a question :
Barry said something about how influential the Bee Gees had been, and all the interviewer did was ask for an explanation. To me, that was an interesting question, because I wouldn't be able to tell you ANY influence they were responsible for. I still couldn't. Disco, tight pants, hit singles, brothers making music, falsetto singing, mediocre songs, overinflated egos... They had all been around from before their career started. Well, not the disco, obviously, but that was an impressive example of them jumping the money train end reviving their career (also around from before their careers started).
I member!
This guy was passive-aggresive and rude from the beginning. I've been in conversations like this. I'm surprised they stayed so long. The sarcasm gets really old quickly
I love Barry's style handling this.

Thank you for posting this. The Beegees were such professionals and Clive is totally out of his depth. The whole interview is embarrassing with Clive trying too hard to be funny and failing at every excruciating attempt. No wonder Barry walked off.
Well, you don't have to always be funny. It actually gets on my nerves !! He was just being stupid !!
Yes, I think he shouldn't have to take that crap

@@pollypurree1834 Years ago I saw some of Clive's shows. I didn't find him particularly interesting, but he did manage to get a good interview out of his guests. This was definitely not his format. I wonder whether he thought he was being "cool" interviewing members of one of the greatest pop groups and that he thought he was speaking at their level.0
This never ceases to make me cringe.
The really sad part is, you can see that Barry was okay with a bit of fun at the beginning... all of them were. But there's a gulf between a few cheeky jokes and just being outright insulting. Saying "You're hit writers... well, we're one letter short" was over the line, and you can see Barry visibly offended there. If Clive was a decent interviewer he could have read the guest and humorously apologized, then dialed it back... but he just keeps pushing. As someone else said, the "You'll always be tossers to me" (which was just nasty) comment is where you really feel the energy shift to a bad place.
I've done a bunch of celebrity interviews and I've got great material out of the guests by making them so comfortable they just get into an amazing chat and give you gold. I've never offended or gone for the "cheap shot" to be funny. It's unnecessary and unprofessional.
I don't blame them walking off at all.
I agree wholeheartedly.l do not know the music but Anderson was rude.
I’m glad they left. He was rude and he just wanted laughs at the expense of his guests. He was an idiot
@@justindenney-hall5875 there's a huge difference between comedic comments and abuse. He was abusive in stating they're shite writers and calling them tossers. How did he expect them to respond? I think he deserved them walking out.
They were tolerant to stay as long as they did. All I can say about Clive is, just plain out stupid. I guess he thinks he is funny, "the joke is on him"
I dislike these interviews when the host talks on and on poor guest never can get a word in edgewhys
Loved the uneasy embarrassed look on Clive Anderson's face as the Bee Gees walked out, serves him right!.
A lot of tension from the start. Clive's trajectory was barreling forward and Barry was trying to head it off by quickly building a brick wall that didnt work. Barry was never anyone to fool with, deeply kind as he was. An absolute mindboggling genius and beyond prolific when it came to song writing.

I get this was a show where you get roasted and humiliated in front of people, but this was definitely a step to far. You don’t make fun of peoples personal history, and achievements they’ve made in life that makes someone feel proud. The Bee Gees were gentlemen, always polite and had manners to everyone they ever met, they were great men who deserved respect.
Another thing about them, they all stood up for each other no matter what. Even though Maurice wasn’t as offended as Barry and Robin was, he still wasn’t gonna sit there and talk to someone who just offended his brothers and made them leave, he was gonna support them instead. Maurice was even polite to Clive when he was leaving. He was no doubt the best Bee Gee.
I disagree that it was a step too far. Especially the joke that made them leave. The song name was "Don't Forget to Remember" and he cracks that he forgot it. It's not even an insult, just a little "dad joke" on the title.
The only thing that might have gone too far was when he joked that he thinks of them as tossers, but since they said it first I think it was both acceptable and predictable the way he said it. And if they took offense at him saying he personally enjoyed their earlier stuff but not really the later stuff, then that's just sensitive egos because every musician has heard that.
It's a shame they never covered the song "I Forgot to Remember to Forget".
Barry was the best Bee Gee, but they wouldn’t be the Bee Gees without all of them.
Now I get the SNL Fallon/Timberlake skits... Anderson so incredibly insulting, I'm surprised they stayed that long !
I remember watching this when I was 11 years old live on tv, I didn’t know why they walked off at the time, watching this 26 years later it makes perfect sense.

@@jaredleicht1656 there wasn't anything wrong with the jokes... many bee gee's fans are worse tarts than barry gibb... at least he and his brothers went on to say they regretted taking it as seriously as they did
@@jaredleicht1656 I had to google what 'tosser' means in British English... If you check it, you will better understand the Bee Gees' reaction
He would have, that was the show. They weren't properly briefed and that was not their or Clive's fault. They gave no indication that they were not going with it; took the Toussers comment etc.
Why is the host talking way more than the guests? This is awful tv.
This is what happens when the interviewer is more worried about getting his laughs than doing a good interview with one of the biggest bands at the time
Exactly.
Remember it live…. It was almost the in thing to mock and belittle….glad they took a stand. Lost a lot of respect for Clive then and gained a whole bunch for the bee gees who frankly are incredible song writers and deserving of respect.
How awful to insult those young men on live television , l could see very much Barry was upset. The Bee Gees have always been kind and generous to all there fans. Sending love to Barry and his family, hope the arthritis isn't to painful at present , as suffering myself know l bad it can be . Xx
Wendy, me too!
While I agree with your comment mostly, 'young men'?
@@synthonaplinth5980 depende de la edad de la persona q comente, no????
@@pilarcarrasco2511 Supongo que sí.
To Wendy Adams: The correct phrase is "to THEIR fans," not to "there fans." Try to learn simple English grammar before posting so as not to seem dumb.
My musical tastes are everywhere. I still believe the Bee Gees One Night Only album is the best live album to listen to straight through of any genre. Very fun; very easy to listen to, no matter the listener's musical taste.
Haha Clive’s face when they walked off. Endless cheap gags from him desperately trying to get a laugh and he himself became the laughing stock
A few weeks later they appeared on Des O,Conner. Des could give & take a joke & the atmosphere was warm & funny & the guys even played their songs on the couch.
Des O' Connor is a legend like the Bee Gees. Anderson is just a complete wanker
Good for you Barry! You don’t have to put up with such insults.
A classic case of Clive Anderson trying to be funny and humorous but totally over stepping the mark and being rather rude at times.. you could tell it was going wrong right from the start, he was stunned when they just walked off. 😂 loved it…
Lol Andersons face when he realised they were definitely going, although they should have gone a few minutes earlier in my opinion.
"I can't get this off...oh well I'll just take it off next door. See ya later Clive"
There will never be a cooler way to walk off set😂
Where's Clive's massive catalog of totally original world famous beloved iconic hit songs spanning multiple decades? Oh, he doesn't have even one song? What a surprise.
The HBO Bee Gees Documentary is Amazing. By Spielberg's People...
He's 71 yrs old as of 2024 if you want to call him and take more shots 😂😮🤣 📣☎️
- Clive inner demons took over that interview
Seemed Barry could sense that Robin was getting upset. Clive kept on about their breakup, so Barry had enough of it. Good for them! They have always been a class act. They are brothers, after all, and love IS thicker than water!
Talk about THICK ....I think Clive 's head was pretty damn thick ...WHAT AN IDIOT !
Wow, Clive's face when Barry said he was leaving and walked off. Clive realized it's not a joke. Clive looked embarrassed.
Hardly. I remember watching it on TV at the time of broadcast and my family laughed their heads off at these pompous pricks. It made Clive Anderson's show more popular. And years later, Barry at least had the grace to admit he was a humourless prick.
You don't have to like the 70's to recognize that the era was iconic and the hits legendary and major talent. And you don't have to be fan of your guests to be a good host and interviewer. They obviously did something that people all over the world want to interview them for.
All the people that would've loved to interview these guys and this guy got the booking. Well, HAD the booking, and not for very long.
When you don’t realize you’re in the presence of absolute geniuses and can’t recognize your place, you’ve completely lost it, it was a priceless moment to see his face knowing his mom was watching, and he had just blown it😅😅😅😅😅
Clive was a "15 minutes of fame" type of man, I doubt many people under 40 have even heard of him.
@@lewisner You know not what you speak. Clive is still presenting radio and TV shows in the UK in 2023. Has been working constantly fronting programs for the BBC, and other networks. Making good money too.
bbc live off forced to pay people, if Ca had a podcast he wouldnt get 10 views , that shows his skills and ability
@@paullondon6625
@@lewisnerhe hosted have I got news for you as well as whose line is it anyway, and has been on multiple episodes of QI. He's still pretty well known
Why did the host have to be so silly. The BeeGees are not one big joke. Glad they walked out.
Never heard of that guy Clive. What a rude man. The Bee Gees are a living legend and I'm glad they walked off the stage. Good going guys.
Actually, a very polite way to leave the interview. Most of the time, these sorts of interviews are supposed to be light hearted and fun, but he was subtly pressing and pressing until Barry noticed it, and any decent human would've picked that up from his expression halfway through, but Clive did not back down at all, just kept pushing it. Not cool at all.
BeeGees are ALWAYS A CLASS ACT
As an American, I’m in awe of the class & etiquette of these rock stars. Even the way they said “fuck you” was polite.
Not all Americans are crass.
Bee Gees have Canadian blood in them. 😂
@@xbman1 I don't understand your comment. They never lived in Canada.
@@JustMyOpinion11 don't think he means literally; I think it was an attribution to the stereotypical behaviour of a Canadian as being overly polite, saying that the Bee Gees, here, are like Canadians because they were polite even in leaving the show.
I watched this when it first aired and I was so happy to see them walk out on that pompous idiot. I don't know how they lasted as long as they did.
He definitely could have thrown in a playful dig or two but he really should have let them speak. How many stories they could tell! But the constant interruptions and need to antagonise them totally blew up in his face.
I never heard of Clive Anderson in my life but of course everyone heard of the Fantastic Bee Gees
The man existed in obscurity... The Bee Gees are consummate legend
Well, now you do, and you're in the minority to start...
maurices comment at the end I don't do impressions was priceless!!!that host is a douch!!!
I dont get what he meant. Can you explain it please?
I think it was really clever. Him and his brothers were there to be interviewed. So how can the interview carry on if they're not all there anymore? He could've impersonated his brothers but he's not a good impersonator. :)@@bunniemunch123
Barry never got over being called "tosser." Yeah, very rude, Clive!
He actually said you're the tosser pal. But yes I agree.
This was actually funny to see this joker get it between the eyes. Well played Bee Gees.
Yet Clive's broadcasting career continues in 2023. Barry Gibb is forever one third of a family troupe, whose solo records bombed for decades.
@@paullondon6625huh?? Go do some research to see the many hits Barry wrote and produced for other artists.
@@Ro11311 Not as many as many other truly great singer-writers, who still took the honours for being better at their work than most of those they wrote songs for. As for Barry Gibb, in the vast majority of cases those other artists out performed him and sang much better.
what songs have you wrote?@@paullondon6625
Agree with Barry totally.
And because of this moment...We have not seen clive anderson on TV since
Rightfully so, he screwed himself
Yay, Bonus ;)
You do realise he presented Clive Anderson's All Talk for FOUR more years after this incident? He's been on TV quite a bit after that too. HIGNFY/QI etc.
@micealwincott he was finished after this interview
@@michaelwincott but what has he done after that?
I think the Brothers Gibb held on as long as they could bc they really care about their fans,but then that was it! Barry's face was getting beet red from the anger he felt towards this incompetent, disrespectful moron.
“I would love to but I don’t do impressions” quick that
Good for Mo!!!! 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
They left before they would insult him for laughs, I commend their grace!
Clive actually says as Barry's leaving, "I've never had someone walk off before". Why did he say that - did he think they'd go "oh, alright then, we'll sit back down"? If Clive never had walk offs before that's likely not because people hadn't wanted to.
Maybe not before them Clive had a movie star walk off too later can't remember who think it was Robert Downey Jr.
Tina you are right, and by gosh he deserved it.
Porque no tuvieron los 🥚🥚de los hermanos Gibb!!!! Bien x ellos!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍 Con un par!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Bee Gees merece muito respeito. Eram educados, bem humorados e de incrível talento.
Fizeram muito bem em irem embora.
