An eerie silence descended over the country. Families would huddle round the wireless, to listen to 'Dick Barton Special Agent'. The exploits of Dick, Jock and Snowy, keeping the world safe for us mortals was the programme that kept the whole of Britain in it's grip. ice.... |

replied on: 7/24/2005 10:33:45 PM Beyond Our Ken featured Kenneth Horne with a regular cast performing short sketches. This programme later led on to further radio series with the same cast such as 'Round The Horne' which developed its risqué revue into something riskier. Two-Way Family FavouritesJean Metcalfe and Cliff Michelmore in the 1950s. ice |

replied on: 8/11/2005 12:21:46 PM 'The Man in Black'. Good old Valentine Dyall would introduce each night's mystery, in his deep, slow, gravelly voice, as you waited with keen anticipation. I'm not sure of the year concerning the program, but it was around the early 1950s i believe. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 8/12/2005 1:39:08 PM The regular early Sunday evening stress reliever, sung, in the main by combined singers in a smooth, softly lilting style of singing. It was best listened to by lying horizontally on the settee. Around the late 1950s to the early 1960s. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 8/12/2005 2:11:20 PM The quick song changing format by the George Mitchell Minstrels, aided by the 'Television Topper Dancers'. The white male singers had blackened faces to resemble black singers and the white women singers had their faces blackened to a lesser degree. The show was finally axed on the grounds of 'racial discrimination' complaints, by certain sections of the general public. BBC1 1958 to 1978. Light entertainment class. Azzabuv. Oops - a boo boo = wrong Forum/Thread. I try..... i try. |

replied on: 8/13/2005 10:52:40 PM Was just passing a comment, Azza! David Freeman was nicknamed "Fluff" for as long as I remember. I was a regular listener of "Pick of the Pops". Think it started at 4pm Sundays with the words "Hi there pop pickers!" |
