Do you remember Dick, Jock & Snowy?

Along with Paul Temple, Just William, Appointment with Fear, Into Battle. Family Favourites etc.

What other such programmes you would like to listen to once again, from that long gone age of Radio?

Switch on the Radio these days and it is wall to wall pop music, sport, or useless chatter.

I don't remember it (far too young), but I know the theme tune.

`The Daring Dexters` was one of my fav`s.

[murraymints]

[scotman]

BBC Radio 7 broadcasts lots of that sort of stuff. I am a regular listener just for them.

[jackthehat]

Unless you listen to Radio 4........

[bibblebub]

Yes I have Radio 7 on a lot too.

[McMouse]

Listening to "London Calling" on 2LO on my crystal set.

[grasscarp]

I used to listen to Listen with mother too. Started with dingdee dong, dingdee dong, dingdee dong. ding. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...... I also listened to Children's Hour, which I think began at 5pm. I also broadcast on children's hour several times!

I would bring back the Barlows of Beddington, Family Favourites, Workers Playtime. Was Lost in Space on the radio - I seem to remember it, but maybe I'm thinking of a similare programme.

Don't you listen to the excellent Radio 7 then, AOG? or to Radio 4? or to Radio 3 (perhaps for the jazz and world music)? or to Classic FM?

Dick Barton was broadcast on Radio 7 in March of both 2008 and 2009, so it's probably due for another airing fairly soon. (Paul Temple is currently being transmitted on Radio 7).

Many of my old favourites are frequently on Radio 7, including Beyond Our Ken, Round the Horne, The Navy Lark, The Clitheroe Kid, The Men from the Ministry and many more (including Educating Archie, which MurrayMints likes).

However I'd like to hear some of the old Johnny Morris programmes, where he (apparently) travelled to many countries and met the locals.

Tizzi24:
I think that you're referring to 'Journey Into Space', which is frequently repeated on Radio 7.

Tamborine:
I find that The Goons are a bit of a 'curate's egg' for me. (i.e. good in parts). But this is my absolute favourite bit:

Yes all those and don't forget 'Mrs Dales Diary' I had the job of listening to the cricket for my dad when he was at work to give him a blow by blow commentry when he got home. Then I was allowed to listen to 'Radio Luxemburg' i also remember 'The Ovalteenies'. - 'The Radio Show' was broadcast live from Earls Court, I had chicken pox at the time and was isolated to The Front Parlour.
