Now for the last mmmmteen years I have been trying to relive my childhood through Radio Comedy. My two favourite shows are The Navy Lark and The Clitheroe Kid. As a result of this strange addiction I have worked with several people to hunt down some of the missing episodes of The Clitheroe Kid. This year has see a natural halt to the work and the episodes have been made public globally free of charge. We have worked hard at improving the existing stock and many episodes have been rerecorded and mastered at much higher quality. Some are blooming awful! but collectors argue over the right to hear the only known copy of an episode even if its poor or over-recorded. Fortunately there are only a few of these! We have chosen the best audible copies for this set which has not always been the highest encodes – audio recorders note.
