Just had some fun on WHO

I see Brians logged on,what the weather like upside down Judith.

Er......... you've lost me with the Judith part??

Come on,I can do the theme tune typing,but does BFPO 20 ring any bells.

[TheMobyDick]

Do you need another clue.

[TheMobyDick]

I can't type straight.Can should have been Can't.

[claret50]

Do you need another clue.
Yes.

[TheMobyDick]

Yes.

Brian,you're not that young.Remember when radios had valves and not transistors (reminds me of the joke about the 16 valve Skoda,4 in the engine and 12 in the radio) I digress.
Sunday lunch time,2 way family favourites,BFPO was the postal address for troops in Germany and the presenter there always at the start of the programme would ask what's the weather like in London Judith.
Now who was the presenter in Germany,I can't remember,maybe someone on here can.
God knows what our American fans think of all this,just say it must have been the equivalent of Good Morning Vietnam.Or American Forces Network,great music from Midnight til 6 am.Bet someone like Norway remembers that,or some other kazoo player.

Now the penny's dropped Moby, it was the programme for British Forces Posted Overseas, I believe the Presenter in London was Jean Metcalf and the presenter in Germany was, or became her Husband.
Ps, I never missed that programme, thanks for the memory mate.

[TheMobyDick]

Was it Jean Metcalf,certainly rings a bell,Maybe Judith Chalmers took over later.
Another favourite was Meet the Huggets."Oh Ron,Oh Eff etc"Rock Cakes,winkles and Shrimps for tea.
Gotta have this ciggie.

Jean Metcalf was the original, I thought the Huggets were called the Glums, with Jimmy Edwards as the father-in-law, and Díck Bentley as Ron, the dopey son-in-law, could be wrong though.

Back to your original question, it's 4pm in NZ and where we are is sunny & warm.

The Glums,was their name,good old Professor Jimmy Edwards.The accent of the son in law was an absolute jem.Don't know where I got the Huggets from,must have been an old girfriend.

And the Daughter in the Glums was June Whitfield, she must be pushing 70 now!!

Easily,she brings some class to whatever she does.

The original presenter in Germany was Cliff Mitchelmore and Jean metcalfe married him sight unseen which was just as well!

Me mum told me that snippet.

Love it,that four eyed git,just been on WHO to slag off Nevada Smiths,under the Suedonym of Staticspring.

That was a long time ago memory. Didn't Cliff Mitchellmore look a bit like David (i love chelski) Mellor?

Yes a sort of 1960s version,I couldn't quite make out what he looked like on the radio,I only had a Black and White receiver.
