not just soaps

[wendilla]

I love the soaps but don't watch them all just corrie eastenders and emmerdale.Now years ago before my mother had tv she couldn't wait till the next episode of The Archers and Mrs Dales Diary.So soaps have been on the go before tv .How many of you have heard of them?

I still listen to the Archers' and have fond memories of Mrs Dale.

Also loved all the old radio programmes such as Round the Horn,

always used to listen to Portia Faces Life on the 'wireless'. I recall it was actually sponsored by a soap company, so a true soap opera.

I discovered the Archers a couple of years ago, and have become addicted. If I don't get to hear it then I catch up online. I first heard it when a young wife was having an affair with her brother in law who was giving her 'driving lessons' and her husband found out and they had a DNA test to find out who the father of the baby was.

Oh yes wendilla, The Archers and Mrs Dales Diary were listened to in my family, although never by me. The signature tunes were enough to send me scurrying out the door!
The only programme that I remember with any fondness was Tony Hancock, especially The Radio Ham, The Lift and of course The Blood Donor - we still enjoy listening to them.
