Yes, I have heard of Dick Barton special agent, but it was not
part of my childhood so must have been something my parents
talked about - I grew up in the era of radios being used for
music or two way family favourites and radio Luxembourg.
The only show I really think I missed out on was ‘ The goons ‘
so funny
I grew up on black and white tv , which I find hard to watch now
as it’s aged so much.

One of the British comedy channels has episodes of The Goon
Show. If you're up in about three hours, the next time it will
air is 5:50 AM EST. What is that, 10:50 AM in the UK?

Thanks Kerry, I will consider getting the app.
I recognise some of the other shows they have ‘ Sexton Blake ‘
is one of them.
My uncle had one of the goons songs at his funeral ‘ The Yin
tong ‘ song. For his close family , well we were all laughing
but for everyone else they kind of didn’t get it and just sat
there in silence. !
I can’t here that song without smiling as it brings back
wonderful memories with my best friend at school ( sadly she
died a few years back )We discovered the goons long after they
had finished on the radio - but this particular song made a come
back in 1973 - so it re triggered an interest in the show.
Interestingly my youngest son doesn’t get the humour of the show
- he doesn’t find it funny at all !

We used to listen to Dick Barton Special Agent on the
radio/wireless as a family when I was a child. And watch Dick
Tracy at the Saturday matinees. And Black Arrow too.
