Mrs Dale’s diary

Do you remember Captain who was Mrs Dale’s cat ?

I seem to remember the first actress who played Mrs Dale was removed for having a drink problem, but I may be wrong.

My Gran said she wanted to have done all her household jobs, had a cuppa whilst listening to Mrs Dale’s diary and then she was ready to die ?

My Mum listened to Mrs. Dale too. I can also remember Paul Temple, an amateur detective and Round the Horne with Kenneth (?) Horne.

Yes, this was my Mum's favourite programme, she shared the trials and tribulations of Mrs Dale for years. Our neighbour preferred "The Archers" and even now, when I hear the theme tune, I remember summer evenings in the garden and the music playing as she did the washing-up!

Yes I remember Wagoners Walk. & Mrs Dales diary

I remember it being on when I came home from school. Happy times!

It was probably Mrs Dale’s Diary that was on, when I tried to get behind our big old ‘wireless’ to see the little people who were talking.
Such crushing disappointment to see only wires and a little light bulb!

I thought Waggoners Walk took over from Mrs Dale's Diary on the wireless. I listened to both when I could.

He always referred to Mrs Dale’s mother, Mrs Freeman, rather formally as “mother in law”. Did he ever call her Rosemary I wonder?

I associate Mrs Dale's Diary with being in bed unwell with one of the usual childhood illnesses - usually tonsillitis. It seemed very dull compared to the likes of Music While You Work which at least played cheerful music.

How strange, I too worry about Jim, but a different Jim who is not a doctor.

Yes, I remember it. My mother never listened to it, although both parents listened to the Archers, so the long story was never in my psyche, so I never listened to it either.

And Mrs Morgan who became Mrs Maggs or the other way round.
She was a real treasure.

And Waggoners’ Walk was on at about 4 o’ clock wasn’t it?

She was always worried about Jim!

Mrs Dale’s Diary was usually on the wireless (not radio!) in the kitchen when I came home from school. She was a doctor’s wife.

Yes, I used to listen, I think it was called The Dales by then. Also does anyone remember Waggoners' Walk?

Yes I do my mum loved listening to it

Yep. My Granny's daily devotion.
