Clive's parents are from Jamaica and he was born in Farnworth, near Bolton – one of seven children. As a young boy he had a paper round and one of the perks was reading the leftover newspapers which gave him the opportunity to learn about a world beyond Bolton.

After he graduated from university Clive took up a place on the BBC's reporter training scheme and in 1996 he was sent to Japan - his first posting as a foreign correspondent.

The BBC's Director-General Lord Hall has said it is up to licence fee payers to determine the size and shape of the BBC. It's Annual Report, out yesterday, shows how spending and staff numbers rose, despite cost cutting at the corporation. The Chairman of the BBC Rona Fairhead also said there are likely to be further cuts in "scope," prompting speculation that services would be cut. Steve Hewlett talks to Professor Lis Howell, Director of Broadcasting at City University, and the BBC's former Head of Strategy Mark Oliver, about the health of the BBC, where savings may be made, and how the corporation is positioning itself ahead of Charter renewal.The Shadow Culture Secretary has warned that speculative government plans to scale back the BBC would see it becoming a 'national irrelevance by 2027'. Chris Bryant used a major speech last night to say the 'BBC is under siege' from the government, ahead of a Green Paper on the future of the corporation out on Thursday. Steve Hewlett talks to Chris Bryant about his role as 'critical friend', why he thinks it's important the BBC remains culturally significant, and what he would do to improve the organisation.The presenter and documentary-maker Alan Whicker was best known for Whicker's World, a combination of travelogue and social commentary. In one of the longest running series in British television history he featured a range of people from despots, jet setters to eccentrics. A new foundation set up in his name has launched three documentary filmmaker awards - one for first time documentary makers over 50. Jane Ray, Consultation Artistic Director of the Whicker's World Foundation talks to Steve about the awards, and his style of documentary making.

Gordano! And welcome one and all, to this, the podcast of a thing that happened on a night in a town.  This show was full to the brim with tales of adventure from the thinking man's Alan Whicker, as William 'they call me The Travelator' Lea returned from his holidays in Morocco. From the language barrier, via the drunken arrival, all the way to the mis-direction to a place he didn't want to go to, you will hear all about how he made the visit such a success. There are also Reverse Hitlers too. To get your sound holes (ears (clearly)) around a longer version that includes the hot pop, AND retains the other detritus, then go to mixcloud.com.

"I am sorry for the length of the letter podcast, I didn't have time to write edit a short one..." Blaise Pascal Recorded at the end of October as Ryan (@lucky_rathen) got prepared for the "Journey of a Lifetime" like Alan Whicker or Jimmy Cliff we sitdown and put on the Emilio Estevez and Joshua Jackson classic "The Might Ducks" or "The Champions" as it's known elsewhere.  We get sidelined as always with other movies; including how unsubtle the gay subtext of Nightmare On Elm Street 2 is , Nazi Sympathiser gloves and the benefits of masturbating with your own tears as lube. Dook's laugh is too loud.  The podcast is simply too long...
