What about the radio then?
I would think that quite a number of us predate everyone having a TV - we got our first one in the mid-50s, when it wasn't a full day service. Everyone had a wireless, though, and there were some brilliant programmes - Hancock's Half Hour, Round the Horne, The Goon Show, and loads of others. What do you remember best, and which was/were your favourites?

Re: What about the radio then?
I remember ITMA (but after the war). Also remember The Man in Black on a Saturday night, Henry Hall's dance band, Mrs Dale's Diary, Dick Barton Special Agent, Just William, Workers' Playtime. A bit later (we got our first TV in 1952 but it was only on for 2 hours a day) all the programmes Pendy mentions. I think the Goons has to be my favourite of all time, closely followed by Round the Horn and Hancock. I've also listened to The Archers since Day One - and still do.

Re: What about the radio then?
I prefer radio to the television most of the time.
But I can't exactly reminisce, I'm only 17 afterall. Steve Lamacq's show is a must-listen for me always. |

Re: What about the radio then?
I used to love listening to radio Luxemburg and radio Caroline when I was young.
I also used to listen to Alan Beswick on Red Rose Radio. He was brilliant and sooo funny. |
