Cold Cases: The Sandown Clown

Spring 1973, the Isle of Wight, and two young children have an truly weird encounter. In marshland near Sandown Airport they meet a 7-foot creature with a yellow hat, three-fingered hands, and triangles for eyes. He calls himself ‘All Colours Sam’. Was Sam an otherworldly visitor, or merely the product of a child’s imagination? And is there any connection to an epidemic of UFO sightings over the Isle of Wight at the same time? The truth is out there - Danny, Ciaran and Evelyn investigate.Presented by Danny Robins Experts: Evelyn Hollow and Dr Ciaran O’Keeffe Story sections by Simon Barnard Research by Ryan Whalen and Nancy Bottomley Filming and editing by Robb Leech Editing and sound design by Charlie Brandon-King Theme music by Katherine Priddy Theme co-produced by Jennifer Ann Keller Incidental music by Evelyn Sykes Commissioning executive: Paula McDonnell Commissioning editor: Rhian Roberts Produced by Simon Barnard and Victoria LloydA Bafflegab and Uncanny Media production for BBC Radio 4
