My Grandad always wanted to listen to a prog on the radio when he came over on Sundays, i think it was called "Sing Something Simple" and featured The Mike Sams Singers ?

Paul Temple was given a run on TV in the 1980's, but it never had the same impact as when aired on the radio.

Bet you remember PC49 and Dick Barton -Special Agent !

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

Yes I believe so, I can't say I listened to it that I'm aware of but in Liverpool the title itself lent much to the ribald hilarity in Dock side Boozers & Working mens clubs !! :D seen as a bit of a double "Intender" !!

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

Broadcast in the 1950's and 60's on on the BBC Light Program, and always began:
'The time in Britain is twelve noon, in Germany it's one o'clock, but home and away its time for "Two-way Family Favourites", presented by Jean Metcalfe and Cliff Michelmore' It was an absolute must for Sunday lunchtime listening when Britain still had national servicemen serving both at home and abroad.

Google it if you require more info.

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

Yep, required listening in lots of homes,to hear if a lad from the next street/area was mentioned, also think at one time the program was divided up with 20 minute sctions to incluce Malaya and Kenya where a lot of National servicemen were sent on 'active' duty to protect the Empire .

Saturday morning radio was for the kids with 'uncle Mac' and childrens requests, favourite from that show was the song ..."she wears red feathers and a hula hula skirt " :D

Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
 

In that case who hosted 'workers playtime' was it Arthur Askey??
The mention of family favourites brings up memories - the opening started with - something like - Overseas British Broadcasting (something or other) - and then into the music - ??? long time ago!
