Pete talks with BBC Radio 5 Live's Rhod Sharp, about Clive and the songs. It's near the beginning of the programme, after Melvyn Bragg.

Listen out too for Pete live on LBC (https://www.lbc.co.uk/london/radio/player/) (London) from 07:25 this morning.

Pete's LBC interview lasted less than two minutes. Live on the LBC (not LBC News) channel just after 07:45 this morning, he spoke again of Clive's humour (it didn't depend on jokes) and confirmed his (Clive's) suitability as the universal dinner-party guest. The programme's host was Nick Ferrari, who has clearly mastered the Procrustean art of squeezing the five-minute chat into a two-minute window, without the aid of a real-time editing machine. Nick believed he was talking to one Pete Atkins.

Thanks for sharing this. Bragg was good too.

Recorded the day of Clive's funeral and broadcast the same evening in BBC Radio 4's Front Row strand, Pete Atkin and Ian McEwan pay their own tributes. Pete's contribution begins at the 10-minute point.

Not recorded, Steve - it was live!

There was a fine tribute to Clive by his and Pete's old friend Russell Davies on the Radio 4 'Last Word' programme last night. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000bs4h .
