David Baddiel and Rob Newman on Clive Anderson Talks Back

From 1991

[@StefanTravis]

Two people who hate each other, but stay together for the money, interviewed by someone who doesn't care, but does it for the money. Very 90s.

[@pachy444]

They were only invited on for revenge

[@krishnan-resurrection714]

very jewish ..lol.

[@RealityCheck6T9]

"Don't let that put you off the question that was going to segue into at all" Man Rob Newman is quick witted

[@RealityCheck6T9]

in 1991 ROB was my boyfriend during holidays in France he was sweet kind, considerate, loving and tender. i didn't know he was a famous person in england but sometimes i felt him nervous but i didn't know why. he didn't tell me about his fame. he was at a campsite with some friends. I found him attractive and humble.the distance meant that our love story did not continue being French I had some news but without more may I have very good memories of this romance

These MWE made my teens and I miss those times :-)

rob newman :) he was my boyfriend in 1991 during holidays in France i loved him and him too but the distance...

[@angelariley.9963]

I'm so jealous. I had a mad crush on him.

[@erikaa7117]

@@angelariley.9963 i understand but he was so in love with me ;-) and i didi'nt even know that he was famous in england!

[@ryang790]

these two were funny together rob newman's a huge talent and vanished from tv. i think these two had started to hate each other at this point.

[@nonanona-zz6se]

They are all sharing the same glass of water

[@dragonkattz]

I love the stage set behind them. Though I feel like a music video should be happening in it. With a scantily clad lady. And a snake.

[@andycivil]

Whatever happened to that icon (top right, starts at 5:46) that told you that the commercial break was about to start? I'd forgotten it.

[@angelariley.9963]

I wondered what that was.

[@joedent3323]

Immigrants took it.

[@adamweishaupt2846]

Well this chat got prickly rather quickly.

[@rigsby1454]

Rob Newmas remains brilliant

[@rachelcritchley805]

Heard him talk at the Blue Dot Festival 2 years ago. He was awesome.

[@PlanetoftheDeaf]

Well that was awkward! A complete lack of rapport between host and guests, with nobody wanting to be there... This was quite early in the Baddiel Newman relationship too.

[@ianhowlett4682]

I think Clive Anderson wasted the opportunity to interview those two. He could have got a lot more out of them.

[@annother3350]

They're talking about the gulf war. That didn't start until 1991.

[@vhsvideovault]

You are absolutely right. I had a whole tape of episodes, and I just guessed the date based on roughly when the tape was recorded, but I obviously didn't notice that reference, which must put this after February 1991, when the first series of The Mary Whitehouse Experience aired.

[@peteandurnot]

During the first series of tmwe rob newmans hair was much shorter lol

[@RealityCheck6T9]

Many interviewers go too far to being sycophantic, this guy is too far the other way, doesn't create any rapport at all

[@TheGrumpyGuide]

I always thought that Clive Anderson was a twat. He insults people and then wonders why they don't respond when he tries to be friendly. He was basically the TV interviewer equivalent of a Jack Russell on Monkey Dust.

[@mfbias4048]

Grumpy Guide did you watch till then end where you see why Clive Anderson had an agenda.

[@JoeyXSmith]

I didn't notice how hairy Rob Newman is! I've never seen a man with such a hairy neck before.

[@evilrslade]

Clive Anderson is a clever guy but always talked over his guests to prove it. Made terrible TV. Dave gives it back, Rob just doesn't care. I bought the Encylopedia... It was great.

[@car8820]

I think he was always making sure he got his jokes in before the conversation moved on, it was one of the few talk shows I actually watched

[@stevenmcnicoll5060]

Anderson was a ghastly interviewer. He continues to practice his ignorant and miserably rude and awkward approach on BBC Radio 4’s Arts programme, Loose Ends. A show that soars when he is on holiday and guest presenters step in.

[@MikeAndHisCat]

That was a very odd interview! Pretty awful from Clive. Clearly didn't want to interview them but he should have made some effort! Newman and Baddiel still got on at this point. It was later on their final tour that it went downhill. I saw Rob Newman on stage last night, still very funny but he's put on a few pounds!

[@VortexMotiveVision]

Anderson skewered Baddiel while Newman sat back and let it happen. Sometimes you just have to let a wanker burn in public. Well done Newman.

[@laxeystu8096]

Rob Newman seems rather disengaged from this David Baddiel is more human and personable

[@henrysmith883]

Lucky Badiel was there. Newman’s weird or just boring.

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

No, he wasn't interested in joining in the banal tedium. Plus he and Baddiel had fallen out completely so he didn't want to be in the same room as Baddiel.
