The labour Party has lost the last four elections. If they lose another, they get to keep the liberal party.
I like New York. There are similarities with London that make it feel rather like home, but at the same time it's slightly fictional.
I have done well out of TV, but not well enough to buy football clubs. I'm not sure it's ever a way to make money.
I think political correctness is a moving line.
I'm pale-skinned so I don't feel at my best on a beach.
I do find myself surprised by the comedy shows that seem to have the same joke week in week out.
I am going to have to stick to the script. If I muck around with the words it will defeat the object.
My favourite plant is the foxglove. I think they are a perfect balance between being a garden plant and a wild plant, as at home in woodland as they are in a city.
This is me, Clive Anderson, saying good night. Good night.

Tree roots hold river banks together and stop the wind blowing soil away, there are many creatures that live in woods and they provide a sense of well-being and look nice.
Research gathered over recent years has highlighted the countless benefits to people, wildlife and the environment that come from planting trees and creating new woodland habitat. It's obvious trees are good things.
It is a bit frustrating. Things come and go in television. At the moment they've gone.
Well, I'm happier talking about other people than me.
