Claire Sweeney hosts new series on BBC Radio Merseyside
Broadcaster Claire Sweeney is joining BBC Radio Merseyside to host a new series chatting with special guests about their careers, favourite memories and Merseyside heritage.
Guests on Claire Sweeney Meets include Jason Isaacs, John Barnes, Holly Johnson, Paul O’Grady and Lady Anne Dodd, the wife of the late legendary comic Sir Ken Dodd.
All of the guests are from Liverpool or have a Merseyside connection, and are all either friends of Claire’s or people she has worked with during her career.
In each episode, Claire chats with guests about their careers, favourite memories and Merseyside heritage, while also asking them to handpick songs close to their heart which play during the course of the show.
SIR Ken Dodd’s widow has revealed that the comic was proud of his record-breaking run at Bradford’s Alhambra theatre, and often heard from Sunbeams he worked with over 60 years ago. Ken starred in 1958/59 pantomime Jack And The Beanstalk, the theatre’s longest ever panto run, and over the years he brought his comedy shows to Bradford, where he had many fans. He did a five-hour show at the Alhambra a few months before his death in 2018, aged 90. Lady Anne Dodd said: “Ken was so proud of his record at the glorious Alhambra Theatre. He used to hear regularly from ex-Sunbeams from so many years ago, one in particular kindly still send me messages when she reminisces about those happy days.”
