I missed that unfortunately, shame really as it sounds as though it might have been good. The one show that was missed from the list, which I also consider to have been essential listening, was The Goon Show. Oops make that two shows as he also missed The Navy Lark, probably because it would have been difficult to find ways to fit them in.

I did try my best, but was trying to memorise shows “off the cuff”! The Goon show (despite my less than advancing years – I was born two years after if finished!) is one of my all time favourites. I can’t actually remember hearing any of the shows at all when they were originally transmitted with the possible exception of the Clitheroe Kid in the late 60s (lunctimes near to Family Favourites?). Don’t know why, but all of that humour, Ealing comedies on film etc really appeals to me.
