James Casey Interview : A radio interview in 2003

More about it

On the 30th Anniversary of the death of comedian Jimmy Clitheroe, in 2003, former BBC radio producer Jim Casey, who created and produced Jimmy's radio show The Clitheroe Kid, was interviewed by presenter Kenny Tosh on a Belfast radio station, and spoke about his memories of working with Jimmy.

This interview was recorded on a Sunday, by telephone, about two weeks before it aired. Because Jim Casey was speaking by phone from his home in Stockton-on-Tees to an interviewer in an ILR radio studio in Northern Ireland, he sounds like he's talking from the Moon!

The interview is one of many special events which were arranged in the summer of 2003 to mark the 30th Anniversary of Jimmy Clitheroe's passing.

BBC Radio Lancashire produced a half hour radio biography, Whatever Happened to Jimmy Clitheroe

Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
