My Favourite Radio Programmes |
|
|
- Updated Saturday 7th March 2009 - As of 2009 this page will be expanding to include examples of some of the radio series that I enjoy. I've started wading through my collection and more uploads will appear in time: I will also be expanding on the text. All files are in WMA format and quality reflects the age of the source material. Right: Jack Benny, genius. |

| The Burns and Allen Show | George Burns and Gracie Allen. Gracie is extremely funny and this is quite a witty series. |
| Dad's Army | Radio adaptations of the BBC TV series. |
| Dark Fantasy | 1940's US anthology series |
| Day Of The Triffids | Atmospheric radio adaptation of John Wyndham's excellent novel. |
| Dimension X | It seems to me to be a radio version of 'The Twilight Zone' and is very intelligent. |
| The Goon Show | Crazy and great fun. |
| Hancock's Half Hour | My favourite radio show. It was the inclusion of Kenneth Williams that got me listening to the show in the first place but I soon came to enjoy the show in it's own right. It's so well written. |
| The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy | Intelligently scripted, imaginative and very funny. |
| The Jack Benny Show | Over 900 programmes were made. He makes me laugh and the rest of the cast are very well chosen. |
| Journey Into Space | This was the first sci-fi radio series I heard and it made me want to seek out more serials. It may be a cosy series but it's very atmospheric. |
| The Likely Lads | Radio adaptations of the TV series. |
| NBC University Theater | 1940s US anthology series. |
