Brilliant. What a great mixture. Billy Connolly is just so naturally funny and interesting. David Attenborough has a great sense of humour and has done so much in the animal world. He was clearly enjoying Billy's chat. Thanks so much for uploading this.
NOBODY BUT NOBODY COULD LIVE WITH BILLY ON A TALK SHOW.THE LIKES OF HIM AND ROBIN WILLIAMS WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN.HURRICANES OF COMEDY AND AWARENESS OF THE REAL WORLD.
I had not heard the story about the Jaguar. And it's so true. I did it myself, one morning I was late to work, and there ahead of me was some posh bastard in a Jag, I put my foot down and managed to pass that Jaguar in my clapped out VW Beetle....it was such a great feeling.
R.i.p Clive James lovely fellow, Billy Connolly the funniest man in the world then n still never found someone (Kevin Hart) different type of actor except they take things from life, David Attenborough the best at what he does 🏴😂😂❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐
ken Lane; yeah buts it’s good there’s new books of his I like. In our local book shop had has a large variety Connolly poster which I have first dibs on it 👏👏 So happy, like many met Billy a few times in the Scotia Barr in Glasgow then pubs closed and we would all walk up to the Montrose Folk club, just under a mile away. Not just good times, Man these were time *AWESOME MAN PURE GOOD MUSIC* oh and awesome medical!!! Pot . As Dylan went on to say *EVERYBODY JUST GOT STONED*
You are gloom and doom. Parkinsons has no cure yet...but hes still very active and finding new ways to.do what he wants to do...hes the most alive man I've ever seen!!! DONT dig Billy's grave yet, please. Hes working at his art. 😊
I recall being on a plane many years ago and reading James' autobiography. I was laughing out loud and got some very strange looks. For an Australian his command of the english language was masterful. He'll be missed.
Hi Bill wife and I have passed you on the Stuwarth highway to Alice Springs, Australia in the 1980s, you were talking on the radio that you just have seen a man flogging a cross on his back like Jesus Christ. We have seen him at Ullaroo Area that day. We were towing a caravan around to opal fields of S A, Qld, and NSW at the time researching for our opal book Rediscover Opals In Australia, 1999.
Clive was a great interviewer. He had the gift of firing a, uh, kind of trigger question that would start the guest off. Then Clive would generally sit back and let his guest talk. This was what Michael Parkinson did sublimely well. Parkinson was probably the best ever interviewer, but Clive was a close second.
Three people, each one successful in different fields genuinely enjoying each other and entertaining the audience. Nothing like it on TV today.
RIP Clive James. A clever talented entertainer. Not many like him around anymore.
Well why Raymond have I missed something?🏴
How has this only got 286 likes after 9 years? It is BRILLIANT. 3 classic humorous guys relaxing. I would love to drink with these fellas.
Me tooo 🍺
Clive James, Billy Connolly and David Attenborough at the same time? Talk show heaven.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
Pure classic TV....young Billy Connolly was a force of nature! RIP Clive
Two of my favourite people ever in these guests. Marvellous.
When billy talks about the whistle on the life vest I lost it! He is such a natural and always a good talk show guest as he is so funny !
Clive James. One of my all time favourite persons.

The funniest bastard that ever lived.
It doesn't matter who appeared with him, the big yin was always the centre of attention.
I really enjoyed this interview. Made me smile from ear to ear. Thank you for posting
Brilliant all of them
Saw this interview on Clive James over 30+ years ago. Always thought Billy was going to tell his bike stand joke.
I had not heard the story about the Jaguar. And it's so true. I did it myself, one morning I was late to work, and there ahead of me was some posh bastard in a Jag, I put my foot down and managed to pass that Jaguar in my clapped out VW Beetle....it was such a great feeling.
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 74yo Aussie fan.
Life is good, watching this. What joy!
Wonderful mix!!!
Billy connoly is the best comedian that ever lived in my opinion .
I didn’t even think that most of his jokes in this interview were that funny but his expressions, delivery and energy really made you laugh!
Three of my Fantasy Dinner Guests!!
Two true legends and Clive James (I love Clive too!)
Connolly always liberates me.
"i do 30 sit ups... every week." i do too, getting off the couch and out of bed.
R.i.p Clive James lovely fellow, Billy Connolly the funniest man in the world then n still never found someone (Kevin Hart) different type of actor except they take things from life, David Attenborough the best at what he does 🏴😂😂❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐
Ideal chemistry with 3 talented individuals. Just great 👍
So long ago, now Billy's dying and David won't be around for much longer, but what great legacies they'll leave. I'll watch 'em till I go too.
ken Lane; yeah buts it’s good there’s new books of his I like. In our local book shop had has a large variety Connolly poster which I have first dibs on it 👏👏

Fantasy dinner guests: Billy Connolly. Kevin Smith. Peter O'toole. Richard Harris. Parker Posey.

Billy doesn't do interviews. He has a button on his back that says "GO" ! :-D
Oh I truly miss when comedy was so funny !!
great clip
Dreaming of a desert island... so cool.
I recall being on a plane many years ago and reading James' autobiography. I was laughing out loud and got some very strange looks. For an Australian his command of the english language was masterful. He'll be missed.
Your a weirdo that's why
YES - wouldnt it be wonderful to be a at a quiet dinner table with these guys? I dont think it would be quiet for long?

I hope they did go to the bar later. I would have loved to have heard that conversation.
in jesus christ and our God abbafather daddy and all in with and through Jesus christ we ask we recieve now alpha omega amen
funniest interview ever
Easy nights' work for Clive there though :)
Clive was a great interviewer. He had the gift of firing a, uh, kind of trigger question that would start the guest off. Then Clive would generally sit back and let his guest talk. This was what Michael Parkinson did sublimely well. Parkinson was probably the best ever interviewer, but Clive was a close second.
Whatever happened to Clive James ? I loved his shows !
He is terribly ill.
Johnmac
He's gotten better thankfully.
He recently passed away
Passed away in 2019
THAT was david attenborough? I didn't recognise him through the whole interview
yes before evolution had been invented on the TV
David Attenborough cutting a rather dashing figure there.
Now this is what i call entertainment (2)
by in Large we repaired the house... what's the house !!!. Think he might be a modest
I love the Big Yin. He just doesn't give a fuck!
I love David he really needs to stay around another at least 100 years for the sake of the planet.
pity that the old yin cant recognise his old friends and family ( or can he , is this his idea of the biggest joke yet ) only time will tell .
He recognizes people...hes not a vegetable. He feuded with Parkinson saying that. It's not true.
a few pints in their company... job done
❤❤❤❤
Sound problem.
I genuinely fear for the BBC natural history unit once the unthinkable happens and David Attenborough dies. It'll be disbanded like a cheap cigar.
they smll ;ike clarkdon// im pissed
Connelly was never funny
Bet you're a hoot at parties.
