I used to work in a bank & one day, must be 20 odd years ago, Daphne Oxenford came in to cash a cheque. I said to her that I had "Listened with Mother" She asked whether I had been sitting comfortably, I confirmed that I had!
(For those too young to have listened, she always started the story with "Are you sitting comfortably children?.........Then I'll begin")
Think sitting comfortably is ringing bells as did izzy's post.
Think it was on at lunch time before I started attending school .. will ask Mum.
Harping back to even younger I do remember the music but but not the prog' Rawhide. I used to ride my Gee Gee to the opening music ( soz youngsters ) it was a metal thing, looked like a duck on rockers with a seat on it. I was persuaded one morning that now I was a big girl I should give my dummy to the bin man. Did so & come evening I did nothing but cry, even the Gee Gee didn't stop me..so another was bought. So not much changes here then.
I know you can now get old types of sweets from some shops, but do you remember cough candy twists, winter mixture, dolly mixtures, clove balls liquorice sticks that looked like twigs?
Lily, Petticote Junction was in the 60's, prob' before you were even a twinkle. Three sisters involved Billy Jo, Bobby Jo, Betty Jo, one was actress Sharon Tate who was a Charles Manson victim. Stepping promptly away from that subject. I loved cough candy twist.

I used to love The Monkeys, had a big crush on Davey Jones (think I was about 6 at the time!!)
Yes he was cute, so was David Cassidy. Marty Pello was even cuter!!
