Leave 'em Laughing: The Roy Castle Story

on BBC Radio 4 FM

2/2. Actor Bernard Cribbins describes how Castle picked himself up after the disappointment of America, and returned to the UK to resume his career. A lucky break led to his being offered the chance to present a new television show - Record Breakers - which ran for more than 20 years. After being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 1992, Roy went public about his disease with a long campaign on the dangers of passive smoking. Producer Stephen Garner
