Re: Old TV, Radio & Films
I still love Round the Horne and Beyond our Ken, with Kenneth Horne, Kenny Williams, Hugh Paddick and Betty Marsden. Anyone else remember Chou En Ginsberg, the communist spy? or Jules and Sandy? and Rambling Sid Rumpo, the folk singer? I have quite a few of them on tape, and they still make me laugh.
Hancock's Half Hour was another classic, later transferred to television.
Sunday afternoons - Family Favourites with lunch, Billy Cotton Band Show, The Navy Lark, Beyond our Ken, and at 3 o'clock Carousel, rounding off with Fluff and "Hello Pop-pickers" on Pick of the Pops. Sing Something Simple came later, always referred to in my family as "Sing Something Sinful". They never did, though.
