Clive Anderson was one of those rare interviewers whose shows were great whoever's the guests were.

I think people have forgotten just how great Clive was back in the day. The BBC would kill for a chatshow like this these days.

A lost gem of Televison I was amazed Gorbachev had done it at the time...:)

Wish someone would post Clive Anderson's interview with Gorbachev. It was excellent.

Yes I had. Clive Anderson could do the knockabout joking host style but never forgot to do the interview, which Alan Carr or Jonathan Ross frequently do.

These clive Anderson clips would be great without Clive Anderson in them, always looked wooden and about as funny as Jimmy Carr, i.e. not funny, at all.
