Children’s Favourites Radio Show

[Bobbisox1]

C’ Mon which ones do you remember this blustery Sunday morning

July weather? Pfft!!

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, my husband recoils in horror at his name and he’s older than I am Vulcan, there were other great radio shows back then like
Top of the Form
In Town Tonight
The Archie Andres show ( and he was a ventriloquist dummy)
Ted Ray and Rays a Laugh

I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing,
My knapsack on my back.

Chorus:
Val-de-ri--Val-de-ra-
Val-de-ri--Val-de ha ha ha ha ha ha
Val-de-ri--Val-de-ra.
My knapsack on my back.

The Happy Wanderer, by the fabulously named Obernkirchen Children's Choir

Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen by the Sea

Catchy title

[Bobbisox1]

One of my faves , The Happy Wanderer’ Barry, I’m sure the Luton Girls Choir sang it as well as the German choir

[zebo]

The Happy Wanderer, plagerised at Burnden Park in the better days!

Not as old as some but I still have the book of Captain Beaky somewhere.

[Bobbisox1]

Hi Zebo, welcome to my trip down Memory Lane ( waves)

[Barsel]

I don't remember any of these, waaaaay before my time. :-)
All these were forgotten when Brian Matthew came on the air with his Saturday Morning show.
Me and my bro loved that.

[Bobbisox1]

Barsel, it’s probably because I grew up with sisters who wer 15-17 years when I was born and a Mam that listened to Sing Something Simple each Sunday night :0/

[Barsel]

Bobbs, what was the name of the programme on a Sunday with Cliff Mitchelmore and his wife?
I can't really remember what it was about but it had something to do with the armed forces perhaps.

[Barsel]

Barry, Three Little Fishes.

[Bobbisox1]

Two way Family Favourites with Cliff Mitchelmore and Jean Metcalfe Basel?

[Bobbisox1]

[campbellking]

Don’t jump off the roof Dad…not a chance in Hell that would get played these days!

[barry1010]

Bernard Cribbins Right Said Fred and Hole in the Ground - both with gruesome endings.

Tommy Steele's Little White Bull

[Bobbisox1]

Ah yes, ‘you’ll make a hold in the road’
Good one Camps

[barry1010]

Terry Scott's Camp Granada

[Bobbisox1]

There’s a thought for a thread sometime Barry ;0)
Songs that would never dare to be aired now in these days of wokeism

[roopower]

I remember the programme well. I had a song called Little Red Monkey played for my birthday one year. I loved Michael Holliday, saw him at my local theatre. Died far too young, such a shame.

[Bobbisox1]

Eee Roo, yes, I remember that :0)))
