Listen with Mother mostly for me in those days.

Listen With Mother was first heard on 16 January 1950. It offered a mix of nursery rhymes, stories and music for the under-fives and their mothers but over the years developed a following across the generations. Each episode ended with the Berceuse from Faure's Dolly Suite, played on the piano by Eileen Brown and Roger Fiske.

Listen with Mother was broadcast at 1.45pm when children would be ready to concentrate after their lunch, and mothers would have time to sit with them. The presenters - including Daphne Oxenford, Julia Lang and Dorothy Smith - adopted a new intimate tone, talking as though to each child alone. The centre of the programme was the story, preceded by the calming phrase "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin". The question, originally an ad lib by Julia Lang, became so well known that it ended up in the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

golly there are a few of Proust's madeleines on this thread! It makes you wonder how on earth we ever learned to talk! In addition to B & B's gibberish there was that thing on the moon in which they spoke through whistles.... I'll do Andy Pandy later, though Bechers 2nd time around still causes me pain.

Now we're slightly more grown up, we can listen to Jasper Carrot's version of the Magic Roundabout...
