Clive Sinclair was so polite and avoided the temptation to punch his interviewer in the face. Inventors make the world a better place, not lawyers!

RIP Sir Clive Sinclair. A legend, a good man, and a great inventor. It is very sad he is gone, but he has left a huge impact.

R.I.P. Clive Sinclair. The ZX Spectrum changed my childhood and my life forever.

Sir Clive is just too far ahead of the curve for too many people unfortunately, as time goes by his ideas get rehashed and everyone is like wow what a great idea, forgetting the original inventor, a true legend. I still love my spectrum 😘

Sir Clive certainly has a good sense of humour.

Because of this man and others of Sinclair Research my life as a kid was absolutely full of happiness. The spectrum was just affordable enough for most kids to have their sleepless nights of gaming and program writing.

RIP Sir Clive! Well done

The world needs more people like SIR Clive, a true genius and visionary!

Careful Clive Anderson, Be nice this mans a legend.

Interesting how the success of the ZX Spectrum and its domination on the UK market was not mentioned.

One man here is great at conducting interviews, has a very quick wit and a wonderful sense of humour. The other man is Clive Anderson.

Quality TV, nice to see this side of Clive actually

The Bee Gees had the right idea!!! Sir Clive was very tolerant.

RIP Sinclair

Clive Anderson was a very entertaining interviewer with a cheeky nature and Sir Clive, being the gent he is, took it in his stride.

Sinclair C5 was just ahead of its time ,when battery and motor tech was not as good as it is today

When you spend your life inventing and reseach and you can laugh at your own products The man is a star 😊 Had most of your products

Very talented and self controlled person. I was pretty amazed when I heard that he and a fellow engineer went over the math functions so that they would "fit into" the calculator.

Let's see Clive Anderson make a ZX Spectrum from scratch. How patronising; Sinclair stays so calm, what a guy

What a legend, helped change the world - self-deprecation is the best way to combat dickhead interviewers.

Two underrated and very clever Clives. The malcontents have to understand this was fairly prime time late night TV for people who are not computer nerds, not a more factual programme like Tomorrow's World and the entertainment format was what it was. The fact is, Clive Anderson made some good points and quick witted jokes for the audience whilst giving Clive Sinclair a platform and it was all done in a good humoured way.

Clive Anderson was going for cheap laughs, Clive Sinclair stood the test of time. He made products that inspired a generation to learn coding.

What a gentleman.

Extraordinary man - Clive Sinclair I mean

RIP Sir Clive. Pioneer, undercover British icon, an actual OG.

R.I.P. Sir Clive. Thanks. 🙏🏾

I wish today's TV programmes were like this as to having no political correctness, and worry for people who "may get offended". Nice to see real laughing within the audience.

Clive Sinclair talks like a such a typical scientist/engineer type. He has a good sense of humour though.

Clive Anderson about as funny as a dose of clap

We have two men on screen here, one a true legend in his own lifetime, a man way ahead of the curve, a true pioneer in so many respects. R.I.P. Sir Clive. The other, just an arsehole who thinks he's funny.

I don't think this is from 1990; Anderson makes a joke about going on a cruise if he lost a lot of money which I think is a thinly-veiled reference to Robert Maxwell's death. Maxwell didn't die until late 1991.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt

Good old Sir Clive. To see Mr Anderson get his comeuppance watch his chat with Robin Williams.

He was pushing EV bikes 30 years ago, briefly alluded to in this interview. I think by this stage Sinclair Research and the computers had gone to Alan Sugar and the C5 was a total flop. But for several years after he tried with small bikes and ev bikes. The man was years ahead of his time.

Although Sir Clive took the questions quite well and in his stride, I felt CA was a bit of an ass

Both Clives were great. Anderson never mentions his greatest achievement though - the ZX Spectrum. Done for laughs I suppose. Clive Anderson & Angus Deaton are what's missing from our TV sets today - genuinely witty people. Instead we only have box-tickers with little actual talent.

RIP Clive Anderson died on a Sinclair C5. .. .. .. he died of embarrassment driving one..

This guy is so disrespectful. Sir Clive is a genius, his products may not have been the best on the market but he had the ideas and made them affordable for everyone to enjoy. I think it is safe to say that a lot of other "inventors" took Clive's ideas and modified them a bit only to flood the market. Sir Clive's creations were mainly miniaturised versions of technology, ideas which Japanese manufacturers stole from him and he was also ahead of his time, take the C5, yes it was nothing more than a hybrid electric tricycle but look at today, not just people driving fully electronic cars, but mobility scooters etc. The world is certainly a better place thanks to Sir Clive, my first computer was a ZX Spectrum and here I am over 30 years later still working in the IT industry since 1989. So thank you Sir Clive Sinclair.

8:15 a bit falls off. ROFL. Classic Sinclair product!

Clive Sinclair needs to get back into computing we need his input today be fore he leaves us

😊

he aloso invented the spectrum

Elon musk has based his whole act on him

Both Clives are high as kites..

You really couldn't go on Clive Anderson's show if you couldn't take criticism... Especially that very British, implied undermining nasty little joke (I think that's enough adjectives) that Anderson used to do. God he was particularly annoying, though... And ridiculously sharp-witted. He was just being rude to Jeffrey Archer in "that" interview, but I used to see things like this interview and wonder "how did he think of that so fast?" Clive Sinclair, brilliant man.

The interviewer was a bit of a arse here, anything for laugh. RIP Sir Clive.

When you're enjoying the interview, then realise it's two dead people haveing a conversation :(

Anderson, Sinclair, James -- what is it with Clives and baldness?

Anderson is a knob, not even an iota of Sir Clive's intelligence and charm

And now electric bikes out sell push bikes ha genius

That other Clive was just condescending to sir Clive, and kinda insulting. And sir Clive just took it in stride, but had him assasinated backstage after the show lol

They put him into this narrative of trinket salesman, goofy and irrelevant.

I never liked clive anderson's interviewing style. He was a weasel that always conjured cheap nitpicks for laughs to such an extreme the bee gees walked off his set. I'm surprised many more didn't.

meh he called himself an inventor. He wasn't. He was a marketeer. He didn't invent anything. Chris Curry was the inventor.

Nonsense the movie "Micro Men" and inventing everything else including the spectrum ZX 82 . Sadly died a very rich man Sir Clive Sinclair.

Sir Clive certainly has a good sense of humour.
