I never missed listening to Dick Barton, special agent and can still recall the theme tune to this programme.

Childrens Hour from 5.00 pm weekdays - seem to remember Tuesday was Nursery Singsong with Auntie Vi (Carson) at the piano, also Nature programme from the West region, serialisation of Jennings at School.

Saturday evenings Saturday Night Theatre and Sunday evenings serials of the Thomas Hardy novels and other classics.

Happy days indeed. Jx

that Wilfred Pickles show - what was it called

I can remember Wilfred Pickles used to say Whats on the table Mabel - some sort of quiz he did
Love Mary xx

The Wilfred Pickle's show was called
Have a Go. I must admit I cheated and Googled for the name and found these words from the show's song.

"Have a go, Joe, come on and have a go
You can't lose owt, it costs you nowt
To make yourself some dough.
So hurry up and join us, don't be shy
and don't be slow.
Come on Joe, have a go!"

Closing song:

Call round any old time and make yourself at home,
Put your feet on the mantle-shelf,
Tune in your wireless and help yourself,
We don't care if your friends have left you all alone
Rich or poor, knock at the door,
and make yourself at home.

Does anyone else remember 'Journey into Space'?
Wasn't Andrew Faulds was the hero Jet Morgan?

THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH THEIR OWN HIPS REPLYING ON HERE.(ti cheek) It was meant for ovalteenies (how many recognise that).
Wilfred Pickles - "Give him the money Barney (Colehan)'. He also had a TV series which I liked 'ask pickles' - he used to trace long lost people type of thing.
The "we three, the happidrome" - wish we could all join in with that one.

Thanks for the interest. Good listening. Happy days

So many memories on here and I am so young..*blush*
