[Stargazer]

Cliff Michelmore, Cyril Fletcher (urgh!), Eamon Andrews, Richard Dimbleby, Simon Dee (who he?), Bruce Forsyth - oops - he's still here!!

[tonyav]

Yes I do, Stargazer.

[ferlew]

I plead then 5th amendment.

[Tilly2]

Yes, why?

[askyourgran]

Yes I can remember Arthur Askey and Gilbert Harding. Simon Dee was a D-Jay I think on pirate radio for a while then on Radio 1 until he put his foot in it and was taken off. can't remember why though.

[Peter Pedant]

Yes I do frequently

if you look at the advert for schools news
the cameraman is a ringer for Simon Dee - aged 19 or something

I seem to be only one to recollect

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[tonyav]

I remember Simon Dee's tv show that used to be on at tea time on a Saturday it was called Dee Time.

[maggiebee]

Wasn't Simon Dee a bit full of himself most of the time? The traditional great "I am"

[giveup]

Afraid so !!!

Cliff Michelmore hosted a radio programme on Sunday about 12 o'clock, Family favourites. People serving in the Armed Services overseas would write in asking for records to be played.

[vulcan42]

I remember all those people and, strangely enough, the Stargazers. :o)

[bibblebub]

back at you - do you remember Steve Earle? (on the bbc, not the american singer that a search will give you)

[Everhelpful]

Are you not thinking about his wife,Sandy, (Jean Metcalfe). I think it was her hosted Family Favourites,I could be wrong though.

[sandyRoe]

Could be. It was a long time ago.

[Caran]

I remember them all. What about Gilbert Harding, Lita Rosa and Peter Brough - can you imagine ventriloquism on the radio!

[vulcan42]

It was both Jean Metcalf (in Germany) and Cliff Michelmore(England) who hosted Family favourites, it was through the programme they met.

[shaneystar2]

She was here in London and he was in Hamburg .It was two way family favourites .
He had never met her only heard her voice ,but when they did meet he married her .He's still alive btw aged 93.

[sandyRoe]

Was it Sir Mortimer Wheeler with a real RAF moustache did early archeology programmes?

[Everhelpful]

What about Denis Lotis,Dorothy Squires(Married to Roger Moore for a while),Alma Cogan,Billy Cotton Band Show,Dick Barton, P.C.49? I could go on forever.!!
