Dudley Moore talks to Clive Anderson

From 1993ish

[@aldershot5100]

I loved the Man.His laugh was fantastic

[@billybronco4223]

Dudley had so much talent. Musician, comedian, actor. Good to see him on such good form here before he became ill. It wasn't long after that he started to show symptoms of the awful disease that eventually took him.

[@h.i.m3646]

No it was about 7 more years.

[@californiamusic]

What a pianist.. class act!

[@tomhamilton5261]

Gifted talented man was Dudley. If there is a Heaven , Derek and Clive will still be rambling there making laughter. Pete and Dud. Missed but not forgotten.

[@macdrummer007]

I had man love for this guy!!Broke my heart when he became ill the way he did and of course eventually succumbed to that horrible illness.He didn't deserve that end...after how much he entertained us through the yearsMiss you Dud x x always

[@jessiejames7492]

one of the greats.....songwriter, musician, comedian....

HE GAVE ME SOO MUCH HAPPINESS AND I WILL FOREVER LOVE "ARTHUR"

[@Andrew279144]

Love you Dudley RIP

[@controloz3310]

Oh my goodness I just love him.

[@kevinmcinerney1959]

That run of improvised gags that starts with "concertos.. concerti" then goes to "Tescos .. Tesci" then on to declining the verb "to Tesc", then "rejected name" then "Don't Cry for Me..". So impressive. It's that intelligent funny English wit you see in Cook and Cleese and Fry.

[@adamthorntonillustration9281]

The most enjoyable thing about this (for me) is that Clive has utterly met his match!

[@simontaylor2319]

Every one a little gem. The funniest I've ever seen.....he knows his Latin declensions!

[@jameswebb4593]

A requirement for Oxford and Cambridge .

[@simontaylor2319]

I never understood why Dudley didn't go to the Royal College of Music

[@jameswebb4593]

@@simontaylor2319 His musical tuition was 1st class . Studied organ at Oxford , which must have been difficult with a clubbed foot.

[@simontaylor2319]

Yes I am aware of that and a lot more, even seen him live several times & am a devoted fan of them both. However your comment doesn't answer mine. I think only he can/could

[@jameswebb4593]

@@simontaylor2319 I heard him commenting once about performing a concert recital . Bach or somebody. He said that hours , weeks maybe months of practice was needed. Dudley was not that type of musician , the reason that many first class players delve into Jazz , Oddly later in their career the lure of classical music attracts them . Oscar Peterson and Sir George Shearing are just two that could adapt.

[@laxeystu8096]

Brilliant. Seems a long time ago.

[@FJMLAM]

Don't seem to get this fabulous wit and repartee on Tv anymore

[@martinplatt5928]

Dudley, a national treasure. Brilliant comedian, jazz pianist and actor. RIP. Clive Anderson - crap interviewer who cannot stop talking over his guests.

[@MrDaiseymay]

disagree, he gets the best out of his guests , with his sharp wit, encouraging them to join in. All guests knew what to expect.

[@laurieharper1526]

@@MrDaiseymay Just a shame he couldn't refrain from demonstrating his "sharp wit" occasionally. He cut Dud off and interrupted some potential gems there. You can tell he was a lawyer - always had to have the last word.

[@martinplatt5928]

@@MrDaiseymay 100% Disagree......watch the interview with the Bee Gees.....Anderson was a total pratt and a disaster.

[@OlizerVanAntoninus]

Apart from the beegees

[@keithc187]

This was 1989, 5 years before the memory loss issues started. His 1995 interview with The Independent is the first in which his problems became apparent to the interviewer.

[@tfjea]

Really good! Thank You!

[@cathiiannii]

Shut up Clive! Babbling on and butting in!

[@chimera8421]

He always did that. Couldn’t stand him. The Bee Gee’s walked out on him.

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

I wished Clive let Dudley talk a bit more instead of jumping in mid sentence and breaking up the flow. But I supposed this is what a Lawyer does. So infuriating.

[@luckyswine]

The program was called Clive Anderson talks back. Which was apt because he always did. Worst listener ever to host a chat show.

[@riccardoriccucci8019]

Actor fantastic. Arturo

[@davidsanderson5918]

Clive Anderson is such a GIT. Dudley has been around the block many times and stays professional but really....the 'gotta be on' gag didn't go unnoticed over here.

[@martynb901]

It's only in recent years that I've realised that Clive Anderson tried to make interiews more about himself than his guests, but he couldn't outdo Dud.

[@theresastillwell1643]

Nope

[@bigbuddhaiswatching...101]

"Don't cry for me Ford Cortina . . ."

[@stephaniehand503]

great

[@8saltman]

End of part one ? Where's part two ?

[@theresastillwell1643]

Where’s part two??

[@dalebaker9109]

no sign of his last illness, here.

[@therespectedlex9794]

Maybe the salt didn't help.

[@taraalan1131]

Dale Baker I thought that his eyes were tired and puffy here before I read the comments.

[@dcrowe66]

what was the date of the interview ?

[@MobinKiadeh]

It says around 1993 in the description

[@fivemtalk]

@@MobinKiadeh I THINK it's 1992, as Clive jokes about Windsor Castle going up in flames

[@buddhastaxi666]

He's dead. Clive is still alive, no hair left and shouts when in Tescos.

[@philwilliams2505]

Wonder who ever thought Clive Anderson was a chat show host ...he's bloody awfull

[@MrDaiseymay]

that's because you don't understand his style. ALL guests do, in advance. There's too many Parkinson wanna-Be's.

[@sterlingshane2566]

Clive is so annoying, he doesnt let Dudley speak

[@wendischofield352]

Well, he is a lawyer!

[@lindacaylor3289]

I was thinking the same thing . He just wouldn't let Dudley talk for running his blabber mouth. Ask a question, then ANSWER it? 😠

[@laxeystu8096]

I think that was the format of the programme - Clive would fit in his scripted jokes

[@MrPanacea999]

@@laxeystu8096 Yeah his interview style was funny at the time but looking back it's a bit cringey and it definitely puts his guests on edge.

[@posnerist]

Precisely why the beegees walked out and left him....too much the smart arse!!

[@azapro911]

Everyone missing the point with Clive Anderson. 😂 It was basically a piss-take of chat shows before Steve Coogan did Knowing Me Knowing You.

[@lorettabowen6186]

Would you like another fish

[@aldershot5100]

The My Mum Song was comedy gold but at the same time quite ridiculous or even dark.I think he was just trying to out do Cook who was being awful to him

[@MrDaiseymay]

'cos he was jealous of Duds new-found fame.---without him.

[@posnerist]

Trouble with Anderson is he thinks he's so clever that he can compete with the guests... he's Mr nowhere now...no wonder the beegees walked out and left him because he insulted them....he hasn't watched parky or Carson to learn the craft of interviewing folk.....

[@TheNobbynoonar]

What a poor interviewer. Dudley hardly gets a sentence in before he’s interrupted.

[@peterdurkin1499]

Nothing likevdowningvamerica..but still wants to work in Hollywood.

[@MrDaiseymay]

it's called 'joking' mate. There There, I hope you've recovered.

[@staticcentrehalf7166]

Nobody. Really. Nobody is this funny anymore.

[@theresastillwell1643]

Nobody!!!! The last of its breed died w/Robin.

[@chuckfrost5624]

The problem with Dudley is that he was always on stage. When he became ill those Hollywood types were no where to be found. He died alone and a painful death.

[@lovingsongs1762]

His Hollywood friends did not desert him. When it was learned that his 4th wife was about to release a book accusing him of all sorts of perversions and abuse, his friends rallied around to defend him, quick to say that SHE was the one on drugs always looking to make money in nefarious ways. He was greatly loved by all who knew him and they made it clear that he was a humble and cherished friend.

[@theresastillwell1643]

And he did not die alone. He had his adoptive family who took care of him till his death. Stop lying😡

[@lovingsongs1762]

Not so, chuck frost. His Hollywood friends gave him a loving tribute, which showed how much he was adored. It can be seen here on KZbin. He was obviously touched by their caring.

[@condocord7544]

terrible interviewer -- shallow

[@steinwey]

I love Moore, but here the guy with the funny bones is Clive Anderson.
