I grew up when there was a radio drama serial called Blue Hills.
Even as a young person I would listen to it, try my best not to miss an episode.
I think it was on at 7.45am and would run for 15 minutes so I could listen to before going to school
The show had a cast of voice actors? many of who became well known television actors…
Ruth Cracknell
John Meillon
Ray Barrett
Ed Devereaux
Anne Haddy
June Salter
Rod Taylor
There were an incredible 5,795 episodes broadcast from 1949 to 1976.

I recognize Ray Barrett and Rod Taylor.

My favourite shows were:
Comedy: Hancock,The Goons,Round the Horne.
Scifi: Journey into Space.
AND Dick Barton Special Agent. Which the BBC dropped and replaced with The Archers.It still rankles to this day.
