Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Does anyone remember these old radio shows? WARNING! to remember some you will have to be nearly as old as me.
Who were the main characters:
Much binding in the marsh?
ITMA?
Take it from here?
Up the pole?
Which special agent had the quarter to seven slot on the light programme before the Archers took it over?
Which daily serial was about a doctor's wife?
Who was Bert Weedon?
Can we have those who remember them before you look them up.

Vaguely remember ITMA and Bert Weedon was often on TV - kids programs mostly it seemed.
The doctor's wife thing seems distantly familiar, the rest - nothing

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Now you've said that James I remember my Dad telling me about ITMA when I was listening to the Clitheroe Kid one day. But that's all I do remember

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
In "Much Binding in the Marsh" there was (according to Wikipedia) a Mr. Blake the sexton, just to add to the confusion!

Who were the main characters:
Much binding in the marsh? Remember the tune I would guess the pair Armstrong and Miller Parodied with their "Teddy Fyffe and Donald Brabbins"....Flanders and Swann
ITMA? Tony Hancock?
Take it from here? Don't Know
Up the pole? Don't Know-predecessor of "Round the Horn!? with Kenneth Horn
Which special agent had the quarter to seven slot on the light programme before the Archers took it over? Dick Barton
Which daily serial was about a doctor's wife? Guess-Mrs Dale's Diary
Who was Bert Weedon?"Play in a day with Bert Weedon" Guitar player and tutor
Can we have those who remember them before you look them up.

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Reading Neil's answer there for ITMA and the initials triggered a thought, was it Tommy Handley rather than Tony Hancock?

Your on the right track with Kenneth Horn but wrong programme
Mick
Tommy Handley is correct. Died quite suddenly I remember quite a shock for me I was only a kid.
I will give the rest of the answers tomorrow - if they haven't all appeared.
