I have been a fan of Stanley Holloway for many years. I have a good collection of his monolgues and songs on cd's.

Our Stanley was areal all rounder : music-hall , pantomine , theatre and film. He was also a true English gentleman.

In the fifties I was watching the Sunday night play, all live in those days of course. All at once the play stopped making sense, and after a while my dad turned it off. We learned later that mid way through the play an elderly acor had sat down and died throwing the other actors completely. Some of whom had just stopped while other tried to muddle through. Cant remember the actor or the name of the play but have a vivid memory of this white haired old bloke sat there stiff as a board.

I recommend this (http://relicradio.com/shows/) site. Subscribe to The Horror! podcast and keep a look out for episodes of Vincent Price’s ‘The Price of Fear’.

The man himself presents, narrates and very often stars in creepy tales of mystery, suspense and horror. The October 29th 2008 episode of The Horror! has two brilliant examples: My Dear, Dear Saladin, and An Eye For An Eye. The latter especially is nicely spine-tingling (but perhaps not for fans of sea food).

You can play episodes online too, without subscribing.

Radio 7 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio7/) broadcasts repeats of old radio dramas like Paul Temple, Lord Peter Wimsey, etc.

Prompted by this thread, I had a google and found this site. (http://www.otr.net/) There are thousands of old radio shows to listen to.

Listen with Mother, Music while You Work, Mrs Dale's Diary and The Archers are my earliest 1960's memories.

Who remembers Radio Prune?

Anyone here remember a radio show from the 60's where there was a bit at the begining someone said to the host " Hey you, You down there with the glasses"
and it ended with them saying " So long, I'll be seeing you" I can't remember what was said as I was very young but I would be interested to hear what the show was .

Thanks, Gary

Hey you down there with the glasses.......... was the Billy Cotton Band Show :)

I remember Watch with Mother, Picture Book, Andy Pandy, Rag, Tag and Bobtail, the Woodentops, Bill and Ben

As a young Tup I remember Whirleygig Saturday teatime with Humphrey Lestoque on BBC tv in the 50s a couple of features on it Mr Turnip and Mexican Pete the bad bandit.What about Mr Pastry-Richard Hearne an old favourite,our old man watched the musical shows that were on a lot one singer I remember a Canadian Edmund Hockeridge.What about the interludes because they didn,t have enough programs,the fish in a tank,the potters wheel ,another artiste Bernard Miles who aiways did monologues as a country yokel.Everything was presented in so called BBC English all hoity toity to a little scruff like me!.:hihi::hihi::roll:

Some of my earliest TV memories would include "The Queen Street Gang", "Cartoon Cavalcade with Wally Whyton" "Supercar", "Fireball XL5" and another one which I forget the name of of, but one of the villains had a metal jaw and was called "Tin Chin", does anyone else remember that or did I dream it? :)

One of my other earliest memories from about 1966 was when two local girls who were older than me, were asking me if I liked Napoleon Solo or Ilya Kuriakin best! I remember buying Man From U.N.C.L.E. bubble gum that had collectable cards with pictures on and Man From U.N.C.L.E. badges from a local shop. In fact I used to buy bubble gum with all sorts of cards in, The Monkees, Thunderbirds, etc.

who remembers Fireball XL5, Supercar with Mike Mercury and Space Patrol on a Sunday afternoon?

I remember Fireball XL5 (humming the theme tune now), Supercar and then Stingray and then the best of the lot - Thunderbirds. I can also just recall Four Feather Falls which was a western Gerry Anderson puppet show. Its hero (whose name escapes me) had some 'magic' six shooters which fired at baddies all by themselves.
