Bugger, missed it. My fave radio series, too.
I had a very entertaining evening at the Darlington Civic Theatre a few years ago when I was in the audience for the recording of two editions of the programme.
aaaaaw - the Navy Lark!!
marvelous stuff - mum was addicted on sundays and so i used to listen to the wonderful tones of the marvelous pertwee barker and phillips
still love it and have a number of bbc cd's with selected progs
and yes bbc radio 7 via my little freeview box is worth every penny
Not everyones cup of tea but Danny Baker on BBC London week days 3-5 is mighty fine radio and well worth a lesson. Baker is a broadcasting god but much maligned, wrongly in my opinion. I listen on the 'listen again' option and now never miss a show. Also anything with Danny Kelly, his former side kick on, is usually a hoot.
The other greatest Radio show ever is Just a Minute. I've been listening to that since I was a child.
Radio 4 has so many brilliant comedy programmes. It is compulosary listening at Keeno Towers when the wok goes on at 6-30pm
I still remember sitting in the car with the boyfriend of the moment,some Sunday afternoon in the 60's ,listening to Round the Horn and being agog with the gay innuendo,sex between two men being illegal at the time.I just couldn't believe what I was hearing when it got time for Jules and was very funny too of course.I now have all the episodes on the BBC radio collection would be great if they were repeated now,to a whole new generation who have never heard palm readings of Madame Osiris Gnomeclencher and the exerpts from films such as 'The Hasty Nose' with Dame Celia Molestrangler and aging Juvenile Binky anyone else remember hearing the original recordings in the 60's or can it be that I am the oldest Swinger in Town Yiiiiks!!! :shock:
