Steve Allen's Little Bit Extra.

Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

It's Wednesday the 14th of October and you are very welcome.

Yesterday was a very good day.

Good day at the doctors.

Positive results all round.

Losing weight.

Diabetes.

You know, certainly on the right. I mean, really, he's very

pleased with me, very pleased with me, still can't believe that I've stopped drinking.

He said, you think that'll be forever? I said, I shouldn't think so, no. Absolutely, not with Christmas

around the corner. But the other big event we celebrate today is happy birthday to Cliff Richard.

Yes, Sir Cliff, is 80. He releases

unseen childhood photos taken with his sisters in India. He's got an album, an autobiography and a tour

in 2021. And I sent him a little video message, wishing him a very, very happy birthday.

One of, I should imagine, thousands, which he will be getting.

I mean, when he was asked before, have you got any plans to retire? He said the word retire,

I don't think is in my vocabulary. And he's absolutely right. And he sings as well today as he always did.

He's fantastic. He's ever so nice. You like him a lot as all the fans do.

They're very supportive of Cliff, very, very supportive. And so we're delighted to add our

congratulations to, I bet he won't be having a birthday cake. Or if he is, it'll just be for a photo.
