Well Fair Laddie. Extravaganza 1961

Programme Pints

Programme Pints

Sir,—

Why doesn't the Broadcasting Service cater a, bit more for the dairy farmer? All the time we are encouraged to have music in our milking sheds to please the cows, but I put in a radio and this is what happened.

When I had 2ZB on the cows jumped about so much that all I could get from them was butter. From 2YC the music was so dreary that it took me 4 hours to milk eight cows. When I tried 2YA the cows fell asleep and I had to get the bull in before they would budge.

Would it not be possible for a programme of suitable music to be broadcast to help the farmer?

Sir,—

I agree with your correspondents who have written asking that the Archers be given a better position in the timetable. I find that with it being put on at the time it now is I cannot listen to this fine family programme at all. Surely the fact that the BBC has sent it to New Zealand is sufficient recommendation for it. The story is very gripping and I have had a lot of good laughs from the excellent script. Please let us have the Archers back at 5.0 p.m, so that I can listen again.

Sir,—

Why does the Lousener conduct a cold war against the uncrowned King of the Western World? What more does the great Elvis have to do to prove that he is the greatest entertainer in the world? I suggest you wake up your ideas. My gang and I want two hours a night on 2ZB devoted solely to King Elvis P. How else can you keep us from being delinquents?
