cROYdonrogers Leamington Spa 15 Sep 22 10.42am
Not on the telly but radio in the early evening of Sunday, "Sing Something Simple". It was a reminder for me that the weekend was over and school beckoned in the morning. I hate that theme tune to this day. In a similar vein, the Billy Cotton Band Show whose resident female vocalist was Kathy Kaye. Dreadful. I remember them. Some of my Dads favourites. Shall we just skirt over the Black and White Minstrel Show! Awkward.

It was on at tea time on a Sunday - the only meal that was eaten in total silence in our house as we were all glued to the radio for that week's exciting episode. A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

This thread just keeps on giving. So many programmes have refreshed old memories. Well done Teddy for starting it. From recollections of Sunday lunch with the radio blaring out Two Way Family Favourites followed by Billy Cotton, then Round The Horne or The Navy Lark etc to mimicking the stop, start introduction to Dr Kildare at school. Wonderful stuff. Today's programmes are rubbish in comparison. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Round the Horne was great but listening to it now makes you think how little of Julian and Sandy people actually understood at the time... "he's a wizard on the cottage upright" "We've got a criminal practice which takes up most of our time" "Did you manage to drag your yourself up on deck? No we dressed quite casual" Two more names who disappeared - Simon Dee & James Burke.

Wonderful stuff. Today's programmes are rubbish in comparison. Not so much rubbish POG (although there is a lot of it) but programmes we watched and loved in the 60s and 70s emphasised much more on dialogue and interaction between characters. Take the jokes and canned laughter out of a sit com like The Likely Lads and you more or less have a 'Play For Today'. Even something like The Good Life (apart from the superb ensemble acting) was nothing less than a political and social commentary on 70s England

What surprised me about the superstars program was how fit the racing drivers were, often beating the more established, recognised physical sports stars (soccer / rugby etc) it never dawned on me at the time the kind of fitness regime that they must undertake for their sport - Originally posted by JRW2 There was. I remember being astonished to see Malcolm Macdonald, Arsenal and Newcastle number 9, beating the flying Welsh and British Lions wing three-quarter, Gerald Davies, over 100 yards.
