"You must remember this" (those of my age, anyway!)

[Airspeed]

I was preparing breakfast the other day, when for some reason, part of the theme tune to this radio show sprang from my lips.
I think that it ceased broadcast c 1955, so I theoretically haven't heard it for a bit.
There are some 78RPM recordings on the web, and the humour is rather dated; but seeing as it was about an RAF station, I thought it has some relevance to some of our members.

Wasn't it Kenneth Horne and Sam Costa.

I remember listening to it as a young person. Which I once was! Richard Murdoch was also n it.

Den.

Didn't watch or listen to to it I'm afraid, probably too young then but I do remember such classics as the Navy Lark, Jimmy Clitheroe, The Gang Show.......Oh.......Don't forget......Watch with Movver!!!!

Anyway, here is a short clip of 'Much Binding in the Marsh'

I remember the theme song on the wireless but have forgotten details of the show.

Fond memories. A show, amongst many of the time, without the need for foul language and smut.

When I was in Germany in '67/68 we used to look forward to the radio comedy series that were rebroadcast via BFBS. As I recall there were:
The Goon Show, Round The Horn, Jimmy Clithero, The Glums with Jimmy Edwards and June Whitfield, The Navy Lark to name just a few.

Our camp was in the middle of nowhere so the radio was our only source of entertainment.

Imagine, no mobile phones, internet, satellite TV, or even ordinary TV for that matter. How did we cope? But cope we did and managed very well thank you.
