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.

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

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!
@marcpower41672 ай бұрын
Clive saying he'd forgotten "don't forget to remember" that's what you call in comedy at 1%er. Not that funny, but it'll get a smirk. By that point Barry had just had it with the cheap jokes and digs. I do think Maurice was trying to take it in stride even though he was probably getting annoyed too but didnt want to make such a scene about it.

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 A lot of what Clive was mocking them for was true....They were outdated, uncool, unfashionable.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.

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.
