In no way is this page intended to be comprehensive, but it does contain a few little clips that may have passed you by. You probably have your own favourites, but here are some of mine...
My own little compilation, made on the announcement of Barry's death. I tried to pick less well-known clips.
Barry on his early years in London,
interviewed by Clive James on
The Late Clive James. 23 May 1987
[at 11:53]
Dame Edna Everage meets Tom Jones on the Parkinson show, Christmas Eve, 2002. One of the most hilarious exchanges.
Barry Humphries: 'an eye for the absurd' 1975
Barry gives Mike Willesee an insight into his brand of satire, saying that he always has an eye for the absurd.
Humphries says he enjoys making films, but that 'to work directly with an audience is, to me, the greatest pleasure of all ... There is an immense pleasure in making an audience laugh.'
This clip comes from a compilation of Willesee At Seven interviews from 1975.
