Sir Cliff Richard's rapprochement with the BBC continues this Christmas with a 60 minute BBC2 special featuring the 82-year-old singer. Part of it will be a sit-down interview with Sara Cox in Abbey Road; the remainder will be performances, with guests, at St John at Hackney.
Cliff's links with Hackney go back sixty years, with Cliff as vice-president of the The 59 Youth Club, based at St Mary of Eton (yes, that Eton) with St Augustine. Here's a link to Cliff and the Shadows squeezing on stage in 1962, with Princess Margaret, Anthony Armstrong-Jones and various clerics.
Sir Cliff's final settlement with the BBC added up to over £2m (plus £350k for South Yorkshire police) which a BBC spokesman said was within their legal insurance. Presumably they lost their no-claims bonus.
