Obviously The Archers which seems like it has always been there, but I also remember the Billy Cotton Band Show, Two-way Family Favorites and that thing with 76 Trombones (or was that Billy Cotton?). The Keynsham thing I only remember from the Bonzo Dog album which you can hear a bit of here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM3EqSf_V_g Ian Cowmeadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051117972041298072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132030549093997942.post-26480754594251265742016-02-10T10:55:11.500-08:002016-02-10T10:55:11.500-08:00I think you must be remembering the radio that I r...I think you must be remembering the radio that I remember that lived just about where rabble No 6 has the TV now. In my mind it was made of bakelite and needed some fine tuning via the knobs along the bottom. I think that it was on most of the time and I grew up with (and am still a big fan of) "The Archers". My very first memories of the radio were "Listen with Mother"-(dongdy dong) and in the mornings "Music while you work". Weekends in particular are strongly associated with programmes like the Navy Lark, The Glums, the Billy Cotton Band show, Beyond our Ken and of course Horace Batchelor of Keynsham -"spelt K_E_Y_N_S_H_A_M" advising on how to do the football pools. I can remember that I was specially allowed to stay up long enough to hear Quatermass and the Pit-and was terrified! Later we listened to Radio Caroline- always very crackly but really my first introduction to Pop music. I never owned a transistor radio but between us we had a Decca (?) record player and some vinyl- mostly belonging to rabbles No 1 and 2.
