Old Radio Shows,there was one Arther Askey and Richard Murdock living at the BBC james

i remember the name..... thats all... honest ;))

I know my Mum does! :))

Did they make a film about it with Warren Beatty a few years ago? Dave

I.T.M.A,-- its that man again Tommy Handley Take it from June Whitefield, Jimmy Edwards and a Austrailan comic The Archers Henry Hall's Guest Night Variety Band Box Children's Hour - Uncle Mac- Toy Town Larry the Lamb Listen with Mother The Man in Black - Valintine Dial - very deep voice

Brilliant shows. I listened to Dick Barton Special Agent with Snowy and I think Ginger . My mom could not get closer to the wireless ( old name for radio) to listen. Itma with Tommy Handley ( a Liverpool comedian) was the one show where even bombing in the war could not force people to the shelters until it was over, Colonel Chinstrap, Fumf ,the German spy, Mrs Mopp whos call was Can I do yer now sir? Pity they dont bring back these show. although with television I doubt whether a radio audiance could be found to make it worthwhile. Rupert

Dick Barton 1845hrs - 1900hrs Mon to Friday. Set the clocks with that show. 'In Town Tonight' 'Family Favourites' and all the others that have been mentioned - plus ones that have escaped the grey matter (anno domini) 'Down you way'

Much Binding in the Marsh- Kenneth Horn, richard Murdock-Sam costa Jon Pewtwee Life with the lyons, Ben & Bebe lyons and Children Raise a Laugh Ted Ray Round the Horn Jimmy Jewel and Ben Warris Ignorence is Bliss The Goons Show - Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe

I can still remember the music for Dick Barton. I found it very exciting, I dont suppose today's youngsters would think that though.lol June xx

What was the one with Psycie? the dog ???

20 twenty questions Women's hour Oh there was a serial - Dr Dale's Diary? used to be before Childrens hour

The Navy Lark, heard Mum mention that one as well :)

Yeah, I remember - and we didn't have a wireless for years. I used to go to my friends to listen to the Goons. Round the Horn, Navy Lark., with John Pertwee, Lesley Philips I got the tapes from the BBC some years ago and still listend to the Navy Lark IYMA - it's that man again, and TTFN - ta ta for now. Forerunner of texting? Anne

Who used to say ''Wakey Wakey''?... I remember that :))

Sandra that would have been 'Life is Bliss' with Percy Edwards as the voice of Psyche the dog. I wanted to call my very first dog Psyche but my Mum and Dad absolutely refused. Over the years hubby's maintained the veto so I guess I'll never have a dog called Psyche! Cherry
