Re: The Radio

I normally have lbc playing in the kitchen most evenings, and also in the car.

Re: The Radio

There was nothing like 'Our tune' to cheer you up.

Re: The Radio

Isn't that a bit of a waste?

Re: The Radio

Good on yer Ruthio. That's what I like to hear.

Re: The Radio

Wasn't there a specific program on the BBC Light Program called "Music While You Work". I seem to recall they didn't play anything with too heavy a beat because factory workers damaged machines tapping along to it.

I am pretty sure it was still being broadcast when I first left the UK.

Re: The Radio

I think it was called Workers' playtime Bruce, although it was well before my time.

Re: The Radio

Here you are, Dongles:-

Worker's Play Time - 1941 to 1964. A variety programme.

Music while you Work - 1940 to 1967 - mainly live music.

Re: The Radio

Thanks Tabs. I didn't realise there were two.

Re: The Radio

I always check radio 4 to see if anything is worth recording, as you get subjects on that channel you don't get elsewhere. And it's a safe haven from chavs with their chavvy talk.

I just caught an excellent Thinking Aloud on social mobility. I notice The Moral Maze is back from tonight - I always record that. Also Dead Ringers and the first 7 minutes of The Now Show - with Punt and Dennis.

Re: The Radio

I was often ill as a child, and while in bed upstairs, it was always comforting to hear radio programmes like Music While You Work, and Housewives' Choice on the radio downstairs, while my mother was doing motherly things.
