I must be older than I thought …I remember most of these!! Some of my best memories …sitting curled up in a big chair, fire blazing in the winter, listening to the ‘wireless’ , our only form of home entertainment. Happy days.
Newspapers and women's magazines were popular too.
Jet Morgan, Mitch, Lemmy and Doc. Never missed it.
I do so wish radio announcers spoke as clearly today.
Thank God I’ve kept faith to some degree with radio...love Radio 4 Extra! Most people are missing out.
Warrendoe brings back happy memories sat with my nan listening to Mrs dale
I still have radio 4 extra on every evening. It’s great. You get, Journey into space, Paul Temple, and Lord Peter. And all the old Navy Lark. Many more.
I agree. And most don't even know how to tune into different stations
Thank you for these memories I remember music while you work too
Remember all the tunes lovely to hear them again
I just love the nostalgia trip,👏👏👏👌🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nostalgia isn't as good as it used to be.
No - it's a thing of the past! @@ogstopper 😪
It was very relaxing listening to the radio during the 1940's cbecause you would close your eyes and allow your imaginatiuon to take over
It's still like that
In Town Tonight - once again we stop the mighty roar of London's traffic to bring you in town tonight.
Oh dear! I do feel old now
Mum and Aunty told me about Mrs Dales Diary and Mum use to rush home from School to catch Dick Barton at 4-15 and she loved The Huggets life seemed so much simpler then 😀
Dick and snowy. then sandy McPherson on the theatre organ.
As a kid born in 1950 all this is familiar to me ,,all that was missing was the voice saying ,,are you sitting comfortably children. Now I’ll begin ,,,,it was the beginning of listen with mother
Sunday dinnertime -Round the Horne, Navy Lark, I'm sorry I'll read that again....missed hearing listen with mother, Professor Jimmy Edwards..Billy Cotton later went to TV...where else would you get a radio show featuring a vent act lol. The goon show -silly stuff that was fun, I was just old enough to catch a little crazy gang. Jimmy Clitheroe ( the black hand gang) -was a long time until I realised he was an older actor.Yes that was entertainment -so much better than todays muck. How often we sat and avidly listened to Mrs Dales Diary. Took me back to my kinder days.We too had a mains wireless -original one built by dad because we couldn't afford a shop bought.
H How wonderful this is a wonderful I’m 74 years old and we had the old steam radio called wireless radio well it was cables in to your house and we had a very old speaker with a paper cone for a loudspeaker • I wanna thank you for Posting these So Nostalgic Themes
I would love to hear a full episode of any of these ?
Particularly Journey into Space , JEFF Hawke , was it ? , Lemmy, Doc , Mitch , and the Martian • Wakey! Wakey!
Thanks very very much & Appreciated
Namaste 🙏
I'm also 74 years old. I have a complete set of Journey Into Space series 1 to 4. I can let you have any or all of these if you let me know your email address.
I have loads of episodes of The Navy Lark, Hancock's Half Hour and The Goon Show. Send a postal address to mods@englandmail.com and i'll send a bunch of CD's.
Try www.oldtimeradiodownloads.com - I got 3 series of Journey into Space from here, and they are still good listening!
@@tomhaskett5161 Think Jeff Hawke was a strip series in the Daily Express
When it was a pleasure to listen to the Radio. Unlike now when all we seem to get is Bell Ends spouting Drivel.
People often said that radio had better pictures than TV.
We had a radio in the kitchen and a radio gram in the front room me and my brother would listen to radio Luxembourg and the Jack Jackson show
Thank you John.
Ah, Mum’s cooking whilst listening to Workers Playtime during the lunch hour. Billy Cotton, The Navy Lark,
Round the Horn, which was absolutely hilarious. Fond memories.
Round the Horn was hilarious indeed. How they got away with it is a complete mystery -they certainly wouldn't today!
By the way, I have sixteen episodes of RTH in mp3 if you ever fancy listening to one.
We used to listen to the Jack Jackson show on radio Luxembourg at 7pm
@@johnworfolk6234 I seem to remember that originally it was Beyond our Ken. It never seemed to be quite as good after the change of name as it had been before, despite being much the same cast and format, though it was still a 'must listen to' programme.

They "got away with it " because it was innuendo for which you couldn't find the meaning of , written down anywhere - no social media platform to tell you.
So it was " gossip" that gave the meaning and most homes wouldn't explain the meaning to children or even teens .
A sort of coded comedy for adults .
And no you can't do that today as it's not PC, but you can change a child's gender at 5 yrs and read them stories by minor - attracted drag queens at the local library .
Delightful.
I remembered this
I can almost smell the fusty damp in the front room where we had the radio ....
+rangjungyeshe Yeah--madness wasn't it. 'The BEST room held all the most comfortable furniture, which was only used for special occasions--like Christmas ---or in case the Queen came to call---
You must have lived next door to me! 😄
I well remember Journey into Space written by Charles Chilton who also wrote Goodbye Mr Chips. This was a science fiction serial set in 1965 - way in the future at that time!
you can hear lots of episodes on youtube
Close... James Hilton wrote Goodbye Mr. Chips.
The Navy lark just after 4:10. Starring Leslie Phillips from the Carry on films and Jon Pertwee, who was Doctor Who and Worzel Gummidge.
Also featured Ronnie Barker as Able Seaman Johnson.
Happy memories from when I was a conscript in the RAF, and afterwards a student at a university college
OH NO........ I remember them ALL! (but maybe that's a good thing at my age?)
I remember going into the school hall to do music and movement
I don;t remember any of those! I liked the Lone Ranger theme and the creaking door one from Inner Sanctum. .
I was born in the 70's so I'm from a different era. But I have to say that things sounded much happier and joyful in the 50's.
I hate all the immorality that is celebrated in radio and TV nowadays.
That's why Jacob Rees Mogg is so welcome 🙏 🤗
Does anyone remember the signature tune to As I Roved Out (BBC Light Programme 1953)? Who was the vocalist? Thanks if you can help.
I know "Adventures of PC 49" by Ronald Hanmer starts playing at 0:50... like a lot of people who know it now, I heard it in Ren & Stimpy.
PC 49 was played by Brian Reece, who was a contemporary of my late father at Oakham School, Rutland. Coincidentally, I was a contemporary of Brian's son Michael at the same school.
I recall Brian Reece well.
When Paul Temple first took to the air the signature tune used was part of Scheherazade by R.K.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
@@johnworfolk3400 In expect i could have been and still am ha ha older than you, John!
Please note well, in short NB 'Much Binding In The Marsh' with everyone who was associated with the BBC Programme was broadcast on Radio Luxembourg 1293 metres Long Wave.
What about Jimmy Clitheroe, Does The Team Think, and Dan Dare, Pilot Of The Future...
I remember Dan Dare in 'The Eagle' comic - I didn't know he was on the radio.
Dan Dare = 'Pilot Of The Past'. 🚀
"The Archers" should have been in there too. 🏹
I recognised Paul Temple.
Is 'My Word" theme available complete ?
I remember listening to Journey into Space . Although that might have been late 1940s. The heroes offsider was an annoying whinging man who was always panicking about something. Can't remember the heroes name.
Mr Worfolk,
Certainly Paul Temple had the signature tune (They didn't say Theme tune in 1938) of Coronation Scot, both wireless (Radio) & onTV) but it wasn't the original melody.
The original was from Scheherazade.by Rip Your Corsets off. (I can't spell Rimsky Korsakov.)
See ruclips.net/video/wbG7jqfeiCo/видео.html
In one early episode, wife Steve (Marjorie Westbury later narrator of 'Listen with Mother" shouted the immortal words "Look out! HE'S GOT A GUN!"
Even before "Dick Barton. Special Agent."
Great list of tunes although I hate you (I keel you!) for reminding me that I'm an old git!
Dick Barton, special agent. Second song “the devils gallop”
6,45 until 7 pm I remember
Now, where did I put my time machine? 🤔
You left it in the garage (in 1960). 📽
When England was English.
Where is the theme from the Goons and Hancock's Half Hour?
1. 0:00; 2. 0:17; 3. 0:33; 4. 0:50; 5. 1:10; 6. 2:16; 7: 2:33; 8. 2:49; 9. 3:09; 10. 3:23; 11. 3:39; 12. 3:55; 13. 4:11; 14. 4:27; 15. 4:43; 16. 5:01; 17. 5:16
was 3.23 Down your Way? Wow! These tunes took me back to when i was 5yrs old..now 80.
The only one I did not recognise was PC49
So who knows all the words to...... If you see a dragon dressed in. ..?
And was La Donna a mobile ever a radio theme tune.?
I think I remember it, nobody else seems to.
Oh, yes, I do remember that -- it was whistled, I think. No idea of the plot or title, except that it was a thriller of some kind.
Oh No, not Music and Movement again! The rest is great though.
Please can you tell me what was the second last tune?
The Paul Temple theme was Coronation Scot by Vivian Ellis.
There is an app called Shazam. And that recognises all tunes.
why does this have such a *one piece" intro feel to it lol i can imagen "the grad line..."
No 6 is not Music While you work
Music & movement!!! Yukkkk!!! Hated it as a kid, still hate that music!!!😬😬😬
And the absolute tripe we have now that dares to call itsellf entertainment.
