An Audience with... is a long running British entertainment television show produced by London Weekend Television (now part of ITV Studios), in which a host, usually a singer or comedian, performs for an invited audience of celebrity guests, interspersed with questions from the audience, in a lighthearted revue/tribute style.
On 13 November 1999 London Weekend recorded episode #30, An Audience With Cliff Richard. Cliff's audience show also had some of his own guests who performed with him. This is a really great entertaining show with Cliff singing many of his classic hits. Something I think many will enjoy. Play on!

00:00Thank you very much. Any more questions?
00:19Cliff, over here.
00:21Cheryl!
00:22You laughed a bit earlier on about facelifts and everything,
00:25and I'm sure all the ladies here would join me in saying that we don't think you need one.
00:28Ladies?
00:32But, in all seriousness, have you had one, or would you?
00:41No, I haven't had one, but I would have one.
00:43But, I mean, I talk about this a lot with a lot of people, I mean, loads of people,
00:47and it seems to me that perhaps if we all got together we could get a job lot somewhere.
00:51Because they are quite expensive, aren't they?
00:53And all I know is that I can't see...
00:56You see, if I got a wart growing at the end of my nose with a big bunch of hairs on it,
00:59I'd have the thing off.
01:01And, in fact, your face is kind of falling over.
01:04It's not meant to do that, really, is it?
01:06So, if you could help it a little by doing a little something, I can't see anything against that.
01:10All I know is that people like Cher know the right guys, don't they?
01:13Or maybe her surgeon was a woman, I don't know.
01:15But she looks sensational.
01:17And she's been up front about it, you know, had this done, this done, this done.
01:21I'm not against it at all.
01:23I haven't had it done, no.
01:26Any more questions?
01:28Oh, Peter, yes, sorry, you stuck your hand up early and I ignored you.
01:30No, you didn't.
01:31You are used to it.
01:32It's quite all right, I'm used to it. Relax.
01:34Listen, we have a lot in common, believe it or not.
01:36Yes.
01:37We're both Lebrons, but I'm happy to say you're three days older than me.
01:40Am I?
01:41Yeah.
01:42I'm older than most people, actually.
01:44My question is this.
01:45There's one area where we're not similar at all.
01:48And that is that you're always so incredibly nice to your critics.
01:52Oh, I'm not.
01:53For instance, answer me this.
01:55Yeah, go on.
01:56When Chris Evans was so incredibly rude to you on radio,
01:58why didn't you go around and bop him on the end of the note?
02:02Because we all would have done it.
02:08He might have wanted that.
02:09I mean, I don't know whether he really meant it to this day.
02:12All I know is that he supplied me with a couple of weeks
02:14of the most fun time I've had in 25 years.
02:18Bruce will remember that in the early days when rock and roll was new
02:20and we were there helping create things in this country.
02:22It was really fun.
02:24I don't think we took ourselves that seriously.
02:26And I don't think he does.
02:28I think he's like Madonna.
02:30Well, you know, in some ways.
02:32In that he knows how to present himself
02:35and he knows how to manipulate the press.
02:37And he does it.
02:38And that time he dragged me into it.
02:40The thing is, of course, he still...
02:41I mean, it was a great battle for a while, but he lost, didn't he?
02:47Any more questions?
02:49Cliff, over here.
02:50Kenny!
02:51How are you, son?
02:52I'm fine.
02:53Now, I know you love your sport.
02:54Yeah.
02:55Tennis in particular.
02:56Yeah.
02:57When it was a dodgy day at Wimbledon, you sang, right?
02:59Now, would you have rather sang there or played there?
03:03Well, I mean, I don't think I'd ever be good enough to play there.
03:06But you see, I can say to people, I played Wimbledon.
03:11And it was a magical time
03:13because you couldn't plan that sort of a thing.
03:15You know, if someone says to any one of us who are performers,
03:18if someone said to me,
03:19look, we'd like you to sing unaccompanied, unrehearsed,
03:22in front of the biggest TV audience you'll ever play to,
03:25you'd say, no.
03:26I wouldn't.
03:33You've been told!
03:39I got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living, dying
03:44Living dog
03:45Got to do my best to please her
03:47Just cause she's a living dog
03:51I got her overnight
03:53And that is why she's satisfying my soul
03:58I got the one and only walking, talking, living dog
04:03Take a look at her hair
04:04Take a look at her hair
04:07Well, it's surreal
04:08And if you don't believe what I say
04:10Just feel
04:11Gonna lock her up in a truck
04:14So no big hunter steal her away from me
04:18Got myself a crying, talking, sleeping, walking, living dog
04:25I got to do my best to please her
04:28Just cause she's a living dog
04:32Yes, I got her overnight
04:34And that is why she's satisfying my soul
04:39I got the one and only walking, talking, living dog

05:48No, don't switch them on

06:59Yeah
07:00Yeah, absolutely
07:01The request, the young ones?
07:03Can you teach us the funny walk?
07:04I've got a good teacher, you just have to fall in
07:06Fall into place
07:08Don't mention the deaf aids
07:13The funny walk
07:14He's just coming up to make him look young
