Description

Roy Plomley's castaway is pop singer Cliff Richard.

Cliff talks about growing up in India and discovering that he had a talent for music; how it feels to leave his teenage years behind him and his intention to embark on his next movie role - a more serious part - in a thriller by Margery Allingham. He confesses to homesickness for Britain during five weeks in America, describes how he deals with fans who want to grab a piece of him and how he came up with the name "Cliff Richard".

Favourite track: Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and his Comets
Book: The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss
