“A CAMEL has fallen ill at London Zoo”. Although that message would not mean much
to anyone today, in 1941 i t was a coded signal broadcast by the BBC warning one of its depart ments to move to Bangor in North Wales. This was just one of a myriad of interesting
facts and figures regarding the history of radio from the 1940s to the early 1960s contained in a
ta lk given by Mr Jack Hargreaves, of Barnoldswick, to Clitheroe and District Probus Club. Mr Hargreaves brought back into memory
many of the names that were famous during the period, many of which have been almost forgotten. How many people remember the Italian tenor Frederick Ferrari, who was born in Manchester, or
the programme he starred in? Or the comforting times created during the Second World War by Max Jaffa and his Sunday Night at the Grand Hotel? Or the popularity of “Music While You Work”, which ran from 1940 to 1967 for a magnif icent total of 13,702 broadcasts. What about the success of the “Archie Andrews
Show”. Who can believe that we actually used to listen
to a ventriloquist on the radio? These are just some of more than 100 pro
grammes including big band shows, comedies, dra mas and quizzes as well as personalities covered in
a very entertaining talk interspersed wth some of the songs from that era. One of the humorous tales included by Mr Har greaves had a local connection. He called unexpectedly, on a relative in Clitheroe, but had great difficulty in getting someone to answer the door. Eventually it was opened by an ashen-faced lady who had been listen ing to the Valentine Dyall’s programme “Man in Black” and was almost too fright ened to open the door. So much for the power of radio! And for those of you still wondering what
programme Frederick Ferrari starred in, it was the “Charlie Chester Show”. Clitheroe and District Probus Club meets
in the Pendle Club, Lowergate, on the first and third Fridays of each month. The next meeting will be held on July 1st when the speaker will be Simon Jelf and his subject will be the Lancashire Records Office. For information contact Alan Daniels on
