What a nostalgia trip reading through all the above.
I rem that Julie Andrews began her radio career on "Educating Archie".
What has surprised me somewhat is the fact that no-one has mentioned the great serial "DICK BARTON - Special Agent, who took on all kinds of crooks and spies with the help of his loyal "Jock" the Scotsman and "Snowy" the chirpy cockney .
If I remember correctly the show was at 7.30pm on the BBC Light Programme (1500 Med Wave) ?
There was also a show on Sunday mornings, repeated , I think, on some weekday evening, called RIDERS OF THE RANGE, does anyone remember that ?
It featured a rancher, Cal McCord, and his cowboys, driving cattle to the railhead many , many miles away and having to fight off rustlers, "Red Indians" and Coyotes etc.
