In this repeat transmission, Bernie Clifton chats about how he once flew in a Cold War bomber to a football match, took Oswald the Ostrich up in a microlight for a newspaper stunt, and was featured on Inside No. 9. It's been quite the ride.

Bernie Clifton is a British comedian and entertainer with a career spanning decades, beloved for his warmth, wit and prop comedy — including television appearances on 321, Crackerjack, and It's a Royal Knockout.

  • How Oswald the Ostrich came into existence — and the surreal moment he took it up in a microlight
