The Big Interview is back

Posted by Crosby Herald newsdesk on July 30, 2007 11:55 AM

THIS Thursday’s Crosby Herald will see the launch of the second series of our Big Interviews.
The first series, which ran from August to November last year, was well received and we have some fascinating features lined up for the coming weeks.
The idea is simple: a Herald reporter talks to a prominent person (‘celebrity’ doesn’t always seem like the right word) with a Crosby connection - whether they were born here, grew up here or just spent some time living in the town - and writes an in-depth piece on them.
We then give over the best part of a page to the piece, together with a range of photographs of the subject.
Last year’s interviews included writer Beryl Bainbridge, Hollywood director Charles McDougall and DJ Yousef.
Because the piece is often two or three times as long as a regular Crosby Herald story it means you can get a real feel for the individual and makes for some interesting reading.
We don’t set out to make the interviews “hard hitting” or to “catch people out” - just to get a view of the person behind the well-known name.
In the Herald newsroom we have a “wish list” of people we would like to interview for the series but, as you can imagine, some are harder to pin down than others.
However, we are always open to suggestions.
Is there anyone you would like to see featured in a Big Interview? Maybe an old schoolfriend who went on to great success? How about an old neighbour who achieved fame and fortune?
Post your suggestions here and we’ll add them to our “wish list”.
