Was driving into work during You and Yours, and was very saddened when I heard the news of Nick Clarke‘s death on WATO. You always know something significant has happened when they announce at the top of the programme that it’s a special extended edition. I really didn’t expect the news they gave, but after all Clarke’s years on WATO it was a fitting tribute to dedicate much of the bulletin to him.

There are now two reasons we won’t hear this again:

“This is the World at One – forty minutes of news and comment with Nick Clarke.”

One of them is Nick Clarke’s death. The other is the schedule change which means WATO is now only 30 minutes.
