In 1953 I used to work for UniRelays on Abbey Street and in all weathers we used to go around installing a third radio channel to customers district by district. Rishton, Huncoat, Clayton, Haslingden, Church, Oswaldtwistle and of course Accrington. It was Radio Luxembourg to complement the Home Service and Light Programme. With the advent of TV becoming available I was switched to installing TV aerials.

Apart from Dick Barton Special Agent my other favourite radio - sorry I mean wireless programme was Valetine Dyall’s Man In Black I think it was called.

I have recently bought 23 volumes (4 shows per volume) of the famous Goon Show and haven’t stopped laughing since.

Very useful URL djd – thanks! Although Journey Into Space is no longer listed.
