Yes - only the BBC could have got away with putting a ventriloquist act Educating Archie on the radio. The grumpy Gilbert Harding and Lady(like) Isobel Barnet were the stars of What's My Line? with my mother's heartthrob, Eamonn Andrews, presenting the show. The first UK soap was The Grove Family - with a very mild, almost didactic storyline, and of course there were children's favourites such as Andy Pandy, Muffin the Mule and The Flowerpot Men. Does anyone remember Philip Harben, the TV chef? And of course, Michael Miles on Take Your Pick, with Bob Danvers-Walker banging the gong in the "yes-no interlude". And then there was the April 1st "spaghetti harvest" spoof in 1957. For years afterwards I was telling my shool pals how spaghetti grew on trees. Hmmm... Now I'm really showing my age...
