Anybody out there old enough to remember Archie Andrews on the radio.
How many of you thought that the doll actually sat on Peter Broughs knee in the radio station.

Admit it if you did, also why did uncle mac get more requests forSparky than Not fade away by the stones.
Riged if you ask me

who

Ah, sparky & magic piano,just about remember it

erm, yes i did ...

And - how come people on Crackerjack got a cauliflower? And how come did Cathy McGowan have the coolest fringe? And who said "I'll give it fooive"?

Finally, where is Much Binding in the March?

And who was that idiot who wrote to Pete Somebody-or-other who did the Saturday morning show on the Light Programme asking for Roy Orbison to say "Mercy" a hundred times? Oh, it was indeed me!

(ps - good to hear from you, US.)

pmsl - was the programme called Educating Archie? As I read the post I was humming along.

Hi Sue and everybody

Inreply to last night you said nothing wrong, exept Herbert was a little upset that you suggeststed he lived in a GINGER CAT.
when in fact he and miss Molly the pole dancing flea(who are in a relationship) live in a 7 bed mansion on the edge of Exmoor , with stables, a gym , jacucuzi and a butler.


however i have now re-considered my career and have decided against neuro surgery and theology.

So have decided to become a zeppelin repair man what do you think?

does anyone else remember when you could buy three singles (6/8 each) for exactly a pound?

And tuning into Fluff Freeman for the chart show on Sunday at 6 on the Light Programme?

And trying to keep a signal to Radio Luxembourg on a very small transistor radio?

Not, you'll understand, that I'm 50 something!

Lol Sue

That's it educating archie. but did you think the doll sat on his knee(if the truth be known i did)

i used to listen to Radio Luxenburg...lol

God wasn't Luxenburg a crap reception, not like radio Caroline . Tony Prince was my favourite

Hi US

I'm (seriously) relieved about that. I re-read last night's thread earlier today just to make sure I hadn't said anything untoward.

Zepp don't need repairing - one of the very few who were never broken!

PS - are Herbert and Miss Molly being featured in Hello at any time in the near future? Are they the flea equivalents of Pete the Six Pack Chest, No Pack brain and his anatomically challenged wife?

(glad I didn't say anything out of turn)

Fancy that a ventriloquists dummy on the radio sorry wireless !
Burl Ives and the big rock candy mountain. and Larry the Lamb.stories.

June whitfield in the glums.........
Journey into space.............
The man that whistled Ronnie Ronalde!

I had this transistor radio - complete with brown leather carrying case - bought for me for passing my 11plus.

Radio Lux had the amazing ability to keep floating off bandwidth. And when pirate radio stations were banned, I started my career as a political lobbyist by writing to the Sec of State demanding freedom of listening. Aged 11. Surprisingly, no reply!

Emperor Roscoe ruled, though!

And the inimitable John Peel.

Much Binding on the marsh was on Round the Horn wiith if my memory serves me well Kenneth Horn

what prat thought of putting a ventriloquist on radio and what prats were we for listening to it

Much binding in the Marsh was Richard Murdoch - Round the Horn was a different show - brilliant, with Kenneth Williams in it

The Navy Lark
Jimmy Clitheroe

Life with the Lyons - Bebe Daniels and Ben Lyon

The Ken Dodd show on radio was brilliant - "where's me shirt"

that bloke with the handle-bar moustach who was in charge of a boy's prep school and used to beat them with a cane! Jimmy Edwards ? whacko?

What would the reaction be if that was shown nowadays, I wonder?

My big sister and I shared a bedroom. She used to listen to Radio Luxembourg under the bedclothes. All was well unless she fell asleep first and the radio went off station - I was left with nasty fuzzy sounds coming from her bed!!!

maggie

NO you said nothing out of turn.

I don't mean led zep, i mean the airships, if you have a de flated one in your shed i could repair it.

herbert says he's not pandering to the whims of Hello or any other magazine not without a good solicitor and agent miss molly will agree to anything but would prefer a pedigree French poodle or wel mannered kodiak bear
