i can remember, listen with mother,every weekday afternoon at 1:45 i think on radio 4 for 15 miutes. it was around 1953/54........any one remember?

 

That would be the old BBC Home service in those days, along with the shipping forecasts etc. Radio 4 was much later, around 1967.

Sounds like my own childhood to a T. Yes, Wilfred (and Mabel) Pickles with "Have a Go"- and oh, Valentine Dyall and his "Appointment with Fear" - the Pit and the Pendulum etc. The thought of it still makes me shiver..:o.Memories!

Jennings and Darbyshire, their "swear words" were 'Fishooks!"

"Appointment with Fear"

 

 

What about "Journey Into Space" even the music was scary but Alfie Bass was in that as Lemmy and he had all the funny lines
