Barry Gray Music of
the Week - Barry Gray is best known
for creating the music for most of Gerry &
Sylvia Anderson's television series in the 1960's
and 70's -- notably FIREBALL XL5, THUNDERBIRDS,
UFO, and SPACE:1999. While some of this music was
commercially released, much of it was not, and
most which was is long out-of-print. As
such, fans of Barry Gray's music have little they
can buy commercially, and must deal with other
fans to obtain these rare recordings. Some
of these recordings can even be traced back to
Barry Gray himself, who would sometimes make
copies of his personal tapes for fans.
Still
on the buses - Way back in
1969 a TV comedy series began with an episode
called THE EARLY SHIFT (also known as THE
STRIKE). The show was ON THE BUSES. It was about
the life of a driver and his conductor working on
the No.11 bus that ran to the cemetery gates.
They were employed by Luxton and District Bus
Depot and answerable to an Inspector who was the
bain of their lives. The Inspectors saying
"I 'ate you's Butler" was to become a
national catchphrase of the time.

With Mother Watch with
Mother, the general title of
a series of five individual programs, formed a
central element in the making of television a
domestic and family medium in Britain. Although
the title Watch with Mother
did not come into existence until 1952, Andy
Pandy, the mainstay of the
series, was first broadcast in July 1950. Two
years later it was joined by The
Flowerpot Men and later in
the 1950s these shows were scheduled alongside Rag,
Tag and Bobtail in 1953, and
Picture Book
and The Woodentops
in 1955.

programming in British radiuo during the 1930s - During the 1930s
a thriving and sophisticated understanding of
radio as a selling medium was in place in
Britain, supporting European English language
commercial programming undermining the BBC's
monopoly of the broadcast audience. Between 1930
and 1939, radio was used by many consumer brands
successfully as an important part of sales
campaigns, developing concepts of programme
planning and the targeting of audiences which
were to anticipate trends - both within the BBC
and in the Independent sector - many years later.

British Radio
before the Caroline era - Radio is one
hundred and one years old. By the early twenties,
technology progressed from simple Morse code to
being able to transmit speech and music
internationally, with a signal accessible to
anyone possessing a home or commercially made
radio set. The UK government concluded that this
was such a powerful means of mass communication
that it would have to be in state control. In
1927 The British Broadcasting Corporation was
formed. This organisation can best be described
as an extension of the British Civil Service.
Raising revenue by charging a licence fee to
every home possessing a radio, the Corporation
was given the duty to provide programmes of news,
speeches, lectures, educational matter, weather
reports, concerts and theatrical entertainment.
This format was a government edict, not a matter
of audience research The UK population had to pay
but had no say over what they got for their
money.
2LO's
first transmitter, London, 1922
When
European offshore "pirate" radio was in
its heyday in the 1960’s, as
well as personality deejays and catchy jingles,
every station had its own theme, every deejay had
their theme, and every show had its theme.
So important was this style,
that when a deejay was on holiday, his show was
still aired under his name. Tony Blackburn might
be on holiday, but his theme tune would be
played, announcements and jingles proclaiming the
Tony Blackburn show were aired, and if you
thought Tony’s voice had changed, then
realisation might dawn when you heard it was
"Dave Dennis sitting in for Tony
Blackburn".
