I am really appealing on this forum for anyone's help with research I am doing for a current paper.

I am researching the impact of BBC Children's Hour POST World War !!, the affect on everyday life, individual's memories of programs etc.
If anyone has any memories of it I shall be most grateful if you would get in touch.
I have an extensive questionnaire I can provide if you feel you can offer much information.
Any information can be credited to you, unless you wish to remain anonymous.

Please post here or drop me an email at abi_everall@hotmail.com

Many many thanks

You could use surveymonkey to make a free online survey.

When we were last back , thats 1956 I remember seein Bill & Ben the Flower Pot Men, Muffin the Mule,Noddy & his friends Andy Pandy . The BBC had a grip on childrens programming long before
Sesame Street shows up. Indeed from what I read the Childrens hour was a long established tradion even on the radio .

At an early age I remember Listen with Mother which I think was just after lunch time and presumably before one's afternoon nap. I can't remember the full format but it involved songs and a story, often read by Daphne Oxenford who I believe later appeared in, amongst other things, Coronation Street and To The Manor Born.

Children's Hour was I believe at five o'clock once you were safely back from school, hosted by "Uncle Mac". My strongest memory is of Larry the Lamb "Oh Mr. Mayor Sir" and later of Jennings,a totally un-PC series for today's tastes. The great advantage with radio was that you could use your imagination and weren't told how to interpret stories.

I'm still relatively young myself, but I've still noticed a huge change in children's television over the years here in the UK. Television used to be the main source of entertainment for many kids but their viewing habits have changed dramatically in recent years.
