Lost 1960s TV and Radio
Великобритания
Добавлен 10 фев 2021
The 1960s - Full of fun, fashion, pop and wonderful TV and radio.
If only the BBC and ITV had kept more of their programmes in the archive!
Sadly, 1960s television shows were regarded as disposable and of no long-term interest at the time.
Besides, many shows were broadcast live and, for those that were recorded, studio-quality videotape was extremely expensive for cash-strapped broadcasters. Hence they were wiped!
Domestic video tape recorders became available in 1965 but only the very rich could afford them and the tapes were not intended as keepsakes.
Fortunately some shows were recorded on audio tape by viewers.
I've found a few programmes in my collection of reel-to-reel audio tapes. Some were recorded by my father and some by my great-grandfather. Some are of a reasonable quality, some are not.
Regardless I'll post some of them here for you to listen to.
Come with me now on a trip into the past and enjoy the 1960s (and early 1970s) once again.

Down Your Way - Classic Theme Tune and Continuity - BBC Light Programme 1964
Down Your Way was a long-running Sunday afternoon BBC radio programme that travelled from town to town the length and breadth of the UK to meet regular people and to play their musical requests.
It ran from 1946 to1992 and famous presenters from different eras included David Dimbleby, Franklin Engelmann and Brian Johnston.
The programme switched between the BBC Light Programme and the Home Service and then in its later decades it was broadcast on Radio 4.
Down Your Way's evocative theme tune was 'Horse Guards, Whitehall' from the London Landmarks Suite by Haydn Wood.

Desert Island Discs - 1964's alternative theme tune - BBC Home Service

Desert Island Discs was the brainchild of Roy Plomley and it has been a fixture on the wireless in Britain since 1942. A programme that's as familiar and comfortable to generations of Brits as an old pair of slippers. The BBC wouldn't mess with such a beloved national treasure, would they? Oh yes - of course they would! In 1964 that oh-so-familiar intro was changed. Gone were the gentle waves ....

Weavers Green - the 1966 ITV soap that lasted for only one season of 49 episodes (which is probably why it's a largely forgotten series). Weavers Green was the fictional country village location for the action surrounding the lives of two vets. Predating Emmerdale Farm by six years, this was the original rural television soap. Location shooting was conducted primarily in Heydon, Norfolk - deep ...

Fireball XL-5: NBC-TV, 1963-65!
"I've created the perfect woman" ~ Gerry Anderson
Truly excellent. And very many happy memories. This theme tune really meant that summer had arrived!
I distinctly remember this series of broadcasts even though I was only 10 - 11. One episode urged you to help get the old coins out of circulation quicker by telling you to "Give more, get change" also sung by the Scaffold. In the run-up to 15 Feb 1971 we also listened to "The Penny Programme" at school on Radio 4, which was essentially a radio version of this aimed at kids It was presented by Stuart Henry and Peter Pacey.
Ah, yes!! Give more, get more change! Sadly we didn't get to hear the schools' version at our school.
A 1970 Aston Martin DBS and a Ferrari
No idea why they ditched this in favour of that 70s nonsense. There's no comparison. 50 years on, it's time they changed it back.
Yeah you only get the last 16 bars at the end the days coverage, so that’s something atleast instead of being completely replaced by “light and tuneful” 👍
This was from the same stable as Man From Uncle - Sam Rolfe, and MGM and had one of Uncle’s stars - Robert Vaughn (Napoleon Solo in Uncle).
I left my tv on and woke up to hearing "Captain Scarlett and the Mysterons" I bout😂 cried and laff at the same time....oh what memories seeing this again....I too😔 miss my family💗
Brilliant..great theme tune
The theme tunes and the songs of tv programmes of the 70s were better than the programme's
KENNY voice on the VOCODER
Ahhh. You to watch this with my young brother in mid 1970s happy days.
As if by magic ,the shopkeeper appears
Loved that series
Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you?.....................Did she die in vain?
❤ An old favourite of mine for a number of reasons including ❤ The sports cars, the stylish designs, the enigmatic harpsichord
Shes a mans dream, a 10/10 who cant speak.
Geoff Love and his orchestra also did a version of the persuaders theme on a tv themes record in 1972 produced by Norman Newell
Now then behave yourself you naughty bears and go and play with willy.
Seeing as it was done in Australia, it would have been perfect for Bill Kerr to be in these final episodes. It might have improved Hancock's performance and maybe even kept him alive. Little things can make big changes. RIP Hancock.
True - I hadn't thought of that.
This is undoubtedly my FAVOURITE TV theme. Hands down.
When Saturday TV was so much better than it is today. Simpler times fewer channels and better programmes.
Indeed!
Amen!
By far one of the best tv themes EVER written, as good as any James Bond theme, it was the kind of song that did it's job in pulling in your interest in the tv series itself (which wasnt the best Spy thriller series, not compared to say...THE PUERSUADERS) & others, powerfully sung by Tony Christie, the kind of voice needed for this type of music.
Amen!
If the programme "ran from 1959 until 1967", this is presumably a 1959 recording (unless they didn't have it from the start).
Yes I believe it was recorded in 1959 and later released as a single. The tune reached the top ten in spring 1960. But if anyone has definite information on that please let me know!

THIS was fun radio not the TWADDLE we get today.... Gone forever i think
Different da😅 f o alexan😅 Shaw? X
I just saw stingray for the first time yesterday and I absolutely love this song! 🔥And I'm a 70's baby.
I keep thinking I will not remember the feeling I experienced when I saw Nyree Dawn Porter for this first time in this (when this was shown I was 12) . But watched this video and I'm 12 again...
Nice one!!
World of Sport moved to the LWT Wembley Studios?
I believe so, except for some occasions when it was broadcast from Thames' Teddington studios.
I wonder if they still live there?
Depends upon the prevalence of woodworm.
Sadly times with a smile are less and less today - what fun this was to watch bet it was amazing to work on
60s continuity announcer "Jolly good, you naughty bears" Birmingham guys under table "STFU" ,punch up.
Brilliant just Brilliant these two always made me laugh a nice reminder 😄 😂😅
ALLLLRight Pop Pickers!
I know people that have done this like a few years ago but this was one of my favorite shows.
Same!!
Amazing that until today I'd misremembered this theme as being played on a harpsichord. Someone on another video mentioned that it was actually a cimbalom, and they appear to be right, now that I've had another listen. Amazing instrument... the sound of Gollum!
Brian Matthew is much missed. Shabbily treated by the BBC. He had such an excellent rapport with The Beatles.
Yes his sacking was a miserable business at the end. I like Tony Blackburn, but SOTS in the Brian Matthew Era was so interesting and informative. Brian had a seemingly endless supply of personal anecdotes from his days on the Light Programme and Thank Your Lucky Stars etc.
You are so right at least Roger Day at Boom is still remembering Brian Matthew. Matthew. @LostsTVandRadio
@@joeoconnor5400 Good old Roger 'Twiggy' Day!!
Jean Morton was an immensely talented woman. She was a continuity announcer, producer and script writer. She was a trailblazer for women in television and deserves greater recognition for her work.
Agreed!!
Loved it ❤❤❤
Johnny is sadly very ill, which is sad. I wasn’t an avid listener, but when in my early teens I was ill in bed with something or another, his show with its iconic theme tune, Because They're Young by Duane Eddy, cheered me up. Thanks, Johnny!
Yes, I hadn't realised how ill he is. Amazing that he has kept on broadcasting despite everything.
Great days.... Happy radio now the fun has gone.....
Wow I thought it was Tom jones singing!
So similar aren't they?
Isn't this cut off? I have in my memory that the tune continued. Yes. ruclips.net/video/2FUdpqLLxPM/видео.html has the original film, not just stills, and a shade of the continuation. ruclips.net/video/QhZ9TVFgRR8/видео.html has the full thing (still only about 80 seconds), audio only.
Yes you're absolutely right. After the opening credits it continued a little and then was typically faded out quickly, but I don't recall whether it was always the case. For the life of me I can't recall whether the full tune was used at the end of the programme.
@@LostsTVandRadio Slightly before my time, so I can't remember either, but probably did use it in full - that was in the days before every moment had to be filled with trails!
@@G6JPG Ahhh indeed ... spare us from perpetual trails!!! Even when the programmes are running late they still run the trails instead of trying to catch up with the schedule.
