Back to regular broadcasts. Bob introduces a big "meet the
listeners" evening. Thameside Radio staff go out all over London
(Ealing Broadway, Liverpool Street, Wimbledon, Harrow on the Hill,
Barnes, Uxbridge, Chiswick, Elephant and Castle, Richmond, Earls
Court, Notting Hill Gate and the dolls house shop on the corner of
Rossmore Road) giving out stickers, collecting dedications and
selling tickets for the Brighton trip.
The Thameside listener charts have Kim Wilde, Motorhead, Depeche
Mode, Killing Joke and Kate Bush.
The fast food survey comes from Burger King in Leicester Square
followed by an evening watching the fireworks in Hyde Park.
The Curlyman has a phone-in section.
Dave reads out a letter from a listener saying that she has
started
The Intrepid Birdman Appreciation Society. At the end of his show
he switches the transmitter back on with a scream it has timed out.
After the transmitter finally goes off you can hear the
clipped voices and melodic gentle tunes of Radio 2 in the
background and quite understand why so many people listened to
Thameside Radio once Radio 1 went off air.
Loads of letters and holiday postcards after the extended
broadcast. NamesNmaes include John Simmonds, Francis Green, Buzby,
Andy Feely of Dulwich, Latymer Upper School, Steve Scribbler, John
Henry, Jordan Lee, The Green Belt Festival, Kathy Ann from
Henrietta Barnett School, Jonathan Lovell, Ian Hobbs, Paul
Gander, Hayes School, Elspeth & Jose, Andrew Back, Paul Gander and
Dave Cunningham.
