This month’s Ten Things is for those, like me, who were children in the 50s and 60s. It is a little nostalgia about radio programmes, in the days before everyone had television and before there were hundreds of radio channels — ie. when there was BBC Radio or nothing; the days of the Home Service, the Light Programme and the Third Programme.
So here are Ten Radio Programmes I Remember from My Childhood:
- Listen with Mother
- Mrs Dale’s Diary
- The Archers (and OMG it’s still going! Why?)
- Round the Horne (Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick)
- The Navy Lark (Leslie Phillips and Bill Pertwee
- Music While You Work
- Down Your Way (with Wilfred Pickles)
- Children’s Favourites (introduced by Uncle Mac, aka. Derek McCulloch)
- Does the Team Think?
- Palm Court Orchestra
