I'm relieved you said that as I was struggling to find "North Gate" or "Castle" in your original clue!
not just in Milligan's imagination

Clue 1:-
"Milligan" as in "Spike"

Eccles, unless you can get a day return to Bluebottle these days...
What a relief to find there's someone else old enough to remember the Goon Show!
Eccles it is

I'm not old enough, but my father was a fan and I have a number of shows on tape.

According to my calculations, 400 clues have now been successfully solved.
The next is:
Catcher is caught in super cover
Thinking further about this clue, it would have been better phrased as
Super cover catches catcher. The capital S is significant.
Another clue (the part in bold) for the same station (from Round The Horne)
"Hello, I'm Julian and this is my friend Sandy"
"Why, it's Mr 'Orne with a model"
Last chance to find the answer:
Find something to catch fish in a southern county

worked for me
Big Jim = James
Little Adrian = wrestler (wrestlers affectionately get referred to as little) Adrian Street.
Oh Well -picks up bag for weekend and shuffles off to the station mumbling to himself, tears trickling from the corner of his eyes

I understand your thinking.
Unfortunately, until you mentioned him I had not heard of the wrestler in question. Therefore without a Tardis I couldn't have used him as a source for this clue.
Talking of which, Six Foot Two Eyes Are Blue, Inchy may be appropriate at this point.

It is indeed. The Jam song Liza Radley was a 'B' side of 'Start'.

The next is:
Old Etonian needs a hand?
This refers to a fictional character educated at Eton.
No crocodile tears were shed at his demise.
