Re: Radio

parents in bed, me under the covers in mine, secretly tuned in to the one & only Radio Luxembourg...ahh bliss!

Chessy grin is about as close to a LOL.

Yes I heard the same stuff, so it must have been true

Yes, Herr. My freind and I used to do that too! But then someone said we were bad boys because it was illegal and if we were caught, goodness knows what would happen! Not sure if this was true, but it sure stopped us from tuning in!

(Is there no lol smiley?)

Re: Radio

My earliest memory of radio is from the early 70s. My Mum used to have Piccadilly radio (a local staion) playing in the morning when i was getting ready for school. Tunes that stuck in my head from that era were Part of the union, The Strawbs, Without you, Nilsson and Close to you, The Carpenters.My first tranny was a Tom and Jerry one which didn't work very well. I used to listen to the top 40 on Sunday and Timmy (Mallett) on the tranny in the early 80s and in later years used to fall asleep listening to the James Stannage phone in. Can't stand much radio these days though. My Wife has Century on in the car in the morning and at night when we are on the way home. Everytime it's on at the moment they only seem to play Robbie Williams or Take That. I much preferred it when they had split up.

Re: Radio

Junior Choice has been mentioned and I certainly have very fond memories of that programme. It was great to hear Ed Stewart recreating the show last Christmas.

In the seventies, my friend and I had great fun trying to pick up local radio stations that weren't exactly 'local' to us. We were always terribly excited if we heard something from many miles away!

Our nearest local station at that time was Radio 210 in Reading, although even that was a good forty minutes away by car. And we did actually visit on one occasion when my friend's mother delivered a birthday cake to Gavin McCoy, one of the presenters!

Re: Radio

I used to enjoy Adrian Juste’s Radio 1 comedy clip show which was broadcast on a Saturday lunchtime in the early 1980s.

Re: Radio

Was it Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart's 'Allo darlin' clip rather than Tony Blackburn?

I can only think of Arnold the dog from him.

I listened to them both..all I remember is it was very annoying.

I've found the site but not the clip. It was from junior choice and doesn't sound like Arnold.
