It was about a Womens Prison. Googie Withers was the Boss. As a child I wanted to be Prison Warden after watching this programme....I grew up and saw sence!

I listen to BBC Southern Counties radio based Guildford Jx

Yes Christine, Googie Withers was the head of the prison.

I love a good tear jerker. Enjoy the older ones more than modern films. I remember as a teenager watching Bette Davis in Old Maid - think that was one of my first tear jerkers

Perhaps we should start a Radio thread: Have a Go with Wilfred Pickles & wife Mable with Violet Carson as pianist. On Saturday evening In Town Tonight (Knightsbridge March was signature tune) followed by Saturday Night Theatre. Good classics and Sherlock Holmes in weekly instalments. Round the Horne, Navy Lark, The Glums - perhaps I'd better stop. Jx

CC far too many adverts on radio today

Hi C on the C: I agree about Classic FM and adverts - dreadful - I quite often listen to local BBC radio as one based about 10 miles from me and quite informative. Jx

Belladonna, I loved within these walls,
didn't Googie withers play the main role ?

Christine, i cannot stop laughing at the thought of a ventriloquist on the radio,

Lost in Space
Planet of the Apes
Black Beauty
Hartly Hare
Hectors House

Tomorrow people was in the mid-70's

Home Service before changing to Radio Four! Jx

1.45 Listen With Mother - Yes - and when the King died they cancelled it and I was in tears!

It was followed at 2 o'clock with Womans Hour, then I had to keep quiet so my mother could hear it. Jx
