suzard Researcher	favourite radio program of early years replied on: 9/7/2005 11:53:38 PM I remember The Clitheroe Kid on the radio-was it on about midday on Sundays-I seem to remember on Sundays listening to Clitheroe Kid, Billy Cotton Band Show (with Edmundo Ross??)Pick of the pops -Alan Fluff Freeman (4pm) and then the dreaded Sing Something Simple. Can anyone remember any radio shows with David jacobs? I only remember Juke Box Jury, but that was on TV!
Iceboy53	favourite radio program of early years replied on: 9/7/2005 11:41:06 PM Jimmy Clitheroe At his full height he was 4ft 3in, and played the naughty schoolboy from 1958 to 1972 in the “Clitheroe Kid”. I don’t know if it was siuated in lancashire or not, but I do think most references relate to lancashire,his main partner was Alfie,played by Danny Ross. Danny died young at the age of 45 of a heart attack in the 70s,in fact the female who played his sister Susan is the only surviving member of the original cast. Can anyone else remember listening to the show or even watching the television version,which I don’t think took off.He sounded like a schoolboy, but close up on the tv,he look quite old.
RMMee Moderator	favourite radio program of early years replied on: 9/3/2005 12:45:49 PM Not as early as the others, but my favourite radio programme of, say, 30 years ago, was "Im Sorry I'll Read that Again." And the sketch I remember most was subtitled "Icecubes Down my Cleavage." It's proper name - The Colditz Story! (I was only a kid at the time, and found it hillarious - but then I still do!!!!!)
suzard Researcher	favourite radio program of early years 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!"
Iceboy53	favourite radio program of early years replied on: 8/13/2005 3:58:33 PM i used to hate it,because it would mean the end of pick of the pops by fluff freeman and on to the boring stuff and always sitting down to salad for tea...Ugghh!!!
