All There with My Cough Drops: The Story of Jimmy Clitheroe

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Thirty years after his death, Jimmy Clitheroe is best remembered for his long-running radio series The Clitheroe Kid. But less well known is Clitheroe's s long apprenticeship in variety theatre. Clitheroe's cousin, Irene Oxford , owns unique recordings of the diminutive comedian on stage, and, in this programme, his former co-star Brian Trueman talks to Oxford and listens to some of these recordings. Producer Libby Cross
