Sky News mixed up Clive James with Clive Anderson and what a shame we can’t read what he’d have made of that

Sky News here announcing the death of the wonderful Clive James, whose passing today aged 80 was announced on the same day as the deaths of Sir Jonathan Miller and Gary Rhodes.

Let’s hope they managed to be more accurate about them than they were in this clip about the late, great James.

That was Clive Anderson, Sarah, who no doubt will be surprised to hear of his passing. pic.twitter.com/2KYVmNZquZ

Close, but no cigar.

The real tragedy is not being able to read Clive James' account of this in next week's @spectator diary.
