The Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb has never seen hit dance movie Saturday Night Fever - even though the band recorded its infamous soundtrack.

Gibb admits he has never managed to watch the entire film because he gets "restless" - and even walked out of the premiere after just 30 minutes.

The Bee Gees provided several hit songs for the 1977 John Travolta classic, including the title track.

But Gibb tells BBC Radio 4, "It's not that I can't watch it. It's just that I'm restless. We didn't see the film until the premiere. (I) lasted half an hour... That actually is par for the course, because a lot of actors will go into a premiere and then go out the exit."

Gibb also confirms he and his Bee Gees brother Barry are considering an onstage reunion next year to celebrate the launch of a musical based on the band's career - despite the death of third member Maurice Gibb in 2003.

He adds: "We are closer to that than we've ever been. It's definitely maybe."
