For today's program I will be presenting a mix of music to which we Baby-boomers usually relate - and that includes just about any popular music from the early 1950s through the 1980s.
For the Comedy Spot, following the 10:00 news update, I have moved away from Hancock's Half-hour and have chosen an episode from another British series of the 1950s - "Take It From Here", one that features The Glums in all their glory!
This is actually the first show in which the Glums featured as a segment in their own right - it went to air on the12th. November 1953 - 60 years ago. Below is the precis of the show (7th. series, Show #1):
