Before we had TV, we had radio!

Just for you!

Oh I love Kenneth Williams!! Just his face makes me laugh, and I'm a huge fan of silly words and so on.

Ah, a fan I see.

Green grow me nadgers, oh!

No, I can’t either, and would be very impressed with myself if I could.
I also liked Round The Horne, especially the ‘brief encounters’ ‘oh my darling, I love you so very, very much’
‘And I love you so very very much too darling’ etc. And rambling sid rumpo with his folk songs ‘ gurning the niblets’ and so on.

Horace Bachelors infra-draw method. Sounds like a type of birth control but it was for winning the pools. I used to wonder if it were that good, why didn't he win every week and then he wouldn't need to advertise.

Yes I liked the Clitheroe Kid too lemon. I heard a recording of that on Radio 4 Extra too, quite recently. Can't remember the name of his long suffering older sister though?

As a child I liked The Glums ( Ron and Eth) and The Clitheroe Kid.

I think it was about 6 or 7 pm MissA so yes, after the top 20 had finished.
Sing Something Simple, beloved by all Mothers ?
It reminded you that Monday morning ( probably a cold and rainy one) was looming, with double maths and hockey on the agenda.

Was that on after the top 40?

Spitits? Haha, spirits!

Me too!
That dreary tune heralding Sing Something Simple.....
Made the spitits plunge didn’t it??

I used to dread Sing Something Simple on a Sunday evening because I knew that bath and bed, ready for school the next day, was creeping inexorably closer!

mrsmopp true!

And Henry Hall's Guest Night!

Ooh, I can hear the music now Chewy

All of Deedaa's, plus Life of Bliss, Life with the Lyons, The Navy Lark, Friday Night is Music Night, and, when I was small, listening at home with my mother to an organist called Sandy MacPherson playing requests from all over the far flung corners of the empire! Also on Sunday, Family Favourites, as the lunch was cooking!

Archie Andrews was a ventriloquist act. On the radio!!
And nobody thought it was odd....

Journey into Space, Dick Barton, Take It From Here, Much Binding In The Marsh, Hancock, The Goons, Round The Horne

Hope everyone is aware that lots of these old radio shows are still available on radio 4E.

Radio Luxembourg under the bed covers, late at night, with the signal fading in and out and frantically trying to retune so that you could hear the song.
Sunday night with the Top 20 with Alan Freeman and his "pop pickers"!

Oh I can almost still smell the leather..

We had a small tranny, in a leather case, with a handle so you could put it over your shoulder like a bag.

The radio ( or wireless as the adults called it) at home was huge, brown and cream and with loads of twiddly knobs which when turned made all those fascinating weird noises until you found a channel.We even picked up police radio messages ( mostly boring, no bank heists) on it.

Anyone remember Stuart Henry?
