Amazing Test Match Crime 1 of 2
There
were three main BBC Radio stations broadcasting in Britain in the
1950s. The most widely listened-to service, the "Light Programme",
brought us popular music as well as mainstream light entertainment in
the form of variety shows, comedy, and drama. The "Home Service",
general entertainment programmes, was the main channel for news,
features, and drama. The "Third Programme" meanwhile was unashamedly
highbrow in character , its output consisted of classical music
concerts and recitals, talks on matters scientific, philosophical, and
cultural, together with poetry readings and classic or experimental
plays. Each week we will present programs from the best of British
Radio Shows from 1940's to the early 1960's.
