Bee Gees: Excruciating moment trio walked off Clive Anderson TV show
Appearing on the Clive Anderson All Talk show, the Bee Gees famously walked off set after growing tired at the host’s continuous jokes about their music. Just seconds into the interview, the presenter compared the group’s high falsetto to Mickey Mouse and also said the Bee Gees were “hit writers” with “one letter shy”.
The interview continued, with Clive seemingly genuinely interested in the group’s upbringing and early music, until the host joked he’d “forgotten that one” when discussing an old song of Barry’s. “We’re getting on like a storm, aren’t we Clive”, Barry says sarcastically, adding: “In fact I might just leave.” The interview has become infamous as one of the most awkward encounters in UK TV history.
