RIP Nick Clarke

I was sorry to read of the sad loss of a great British broadcaster, Nick Clarke. Anyone who has listened to Radio 4 regularly will remember his distinctive voice and great style. His battle against cancer was an inspiration. He will certainly be missed by this listener and I am certain many many more besides.

Have been away this week, and was sad to hear this news on my return. His World at One interviews were always required listening, but without the amateur dratatics of Paxman and some others.

R4 devotees will also remember his excellent biography of Alistair Cooke.

Thank you James.

I agree with your comments.

I do certainly remember his biography of Alistair Cooke- I enjoyed listening to several programmes about this.
