I like this interview better than the Full Circle one, cos it's more "real".

Getting back to the video..
Clive Anderson sometimes sits in for presenters on the radio and I always find his delivery a bit stilted.
I've got this video on CD.
On this interview with Dusty I think she was nervous at first but actually enjoyed herself after the first few minutes ..giving as good as she got.
I like the French and Saunders ..Full Circle because I think they enabled Dusty to relax.

Keep going Janie, I'm still laughing!

PS. Never heard the term "lift man" before, if I were to make an attempt on translating, I would have said lift operator! Live and learn Well they have all gone by the wayside anyway!

Lets just say I'm a simple (English) girl at heart Marty .......prefer 'tap' to 'fauset', 'lift man' to 'elevator operator', a 'boot' to a 'trunk', an 'ass' to 'fanny'   .....Crikey, how a young girl can get confused........to muddle one's 'ass' with one's 'fanny'........ain't the English language a wonderful thing?

p.s. I reckon we had all better draw a line under this 'frivolity' as I will feel it incumbent upon myself to cease my own membership of the DSN |

I don't think he meant to insult the BeeGees, he seemed rather shocked when they walked off. I think Dusty handled him much better than the BeeGees and just gave everything back to him.

I think your post here Marty actually encapsulates those aspects of Clive Anderson which make him the antithesis of a good interviewer for me . He probably didn't mean to insult the Beegees...didn't understand the fact that he had.....and therefore couldn't cotton on to the fact that he actually had done exactly that!!!
I rather like your description of him as being a bit superior, a bit of a snob........may I be pure Janie here? I prefer to suggest that he is up his own backside. On your side of the pond I guess you might even say he is up his own fanny?!!!!!!!!!!
The Brits (and Aussies) amongst us, will, I am sure, understand my explanation marks. Saturday night humour......hope you will forgive me?

ROFLOL Janie Love your sense of humour!
Actually we would use the "A" word here just three letters without the letter "R" or ending in an "E"!!!!

Clare I also thought they were going to come back at first. I thought they were all just joking around. Aparently, the BeeGees took offense to being called a bunch of tossers and being sent off to Australia.

Yeah i think he thought they were joking at first then he looked quite embarrassed when he realised they weren't coming back

Ok Clare that makes a bit more sense now. I know Clive Anderson from A TV Show called "Who's Line Is It Anyway", which is shown in the US regularly, both a US version and the Brit version. I thought it was him on the Dusty interview, but was not sure.

Now I happen to like The Bee Gees, I've seen them interviewed several times and seen them in concert and they always come across as nice people. You could see from the look on Barry Gibb's face that he was most uncomfortable prior to walking off to be followed by the other two within minutes - Clive Anderson did not know where to look!!!
I also feel the same way with the Full circle interview, I dislike Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French I can take in small doses but that interview in my opinion was totally bland. |

I've always disliked this interview and its nothing to do with Dusty......Clive Anderson is the most appalling interviewer out IMHO. In many respects the fact that he has a guest there to interview is almost an irrelevance, as he persistently rides rough shod over them in order to draw attention to his attempt at humour...yes he does have a quick wit but its an the expense of the the quality of what the viewer gains from the interview. I felt uncomfortable watching this interview because I honestly felt as if he was trying to make himself look good at the expense of Dusty...he does it with all his guests...
Dusty was a match for him no question and I hope it was he who came away from it feeling the more uncomfortable.
In reading what so many Dusty fans have written over the years about this interview, I do gauge I am in the minority with my views though - I don't find it funny, I find it embarrassing to watch!

Brian I just googled Clive James, because I was confusing him with another actor.
I am just going to copy a sentence from Wikipedia which more or less answers your question...
" 2008 Clive is due to perform in two self titled shows at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival: Clive James in Conversation and Clive James in the Evening."

I'd bet £20 that Dusty asked to go on this show. She's ready for action and ready for a laugh.. at herself if necessary. And she's quick enough for Clive (and that's very quick). It's a draw at the end. My favourite Dusty line here is ' What are you gonna be when you grow up'. Maybe Clive would have done a better job of 'Full Circle' because he so obviously enjoys Dusty and her work and Dusty enjoys Clive.
Dusty liked to laugh and was uncomfortable being treated like a precious jewel or having to be too serious about her life and work in public. My only sadness is that she never seemed to realise how truly great she was (because of all those hard knocks probably) and missed her Rock'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction. I'm so glad she was able to receive her OBE.
