A classic show from Thameside Radio 90.2 - 3 hours with Bouncing Bob Edwards and a final finely crafted hour with the Intrepid Birdman. One of the very early Birdman shows in fact.
Bob tells us that accidents are Freudian - they all have a meaning if you think about them; later we discover he has lost his tortiose: I wonder what that meant?
Bob phones listener Pete (for the mystery voice compettion) who is making a Welsh dresser!
The write in competition this week has a prize for putting something interesting in a matchbox. I think there were some quite unusual entries! We'll find out on next weeks podcast.
Rupert of East Molsey won a prize for knowing that the Intrepid Birdman's favourite Spangles were the black ones. Someone proposes to Sarah from Kew in verse.
Dave plays outtakes from an interview in the Laseraruim where Bob chatted with the laserist Howard Sachs. (The Laserium was a music and laser show at the London Planetarium). The superquiz is still fiendishly difficult. You'll have to listen...
Mentions also for Marcus Gonzales, Paul Turtil, Mark Hawkins, Radio Caroline, Ian of Ickenham, Paul Cambridge from Catford (who had his Thameside Radio badge stolen), Andrew Bell from Plumstead, Keith Lang, F W Conrad,
One of my favourite shows so far..the music selection is pure class throughout and some great early jingles..
