Desmond Carrington presents words and music from stars whose records we first heard during the 1950s, using archive from Radio Luxembourg and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Light Programme.
Each one-hour programme features stars interviewed by John Hannam, among them Ronnie Hilton, Eartha Kitt, Nat Gonella, Edmund Hockridge, Russ Conway, Frankie Vaughan, Lonnie Donegan, Ruby Murray, Lionel Bart and Al Martino. This week, the featured artists are Alma Cogan - who is remembered here by David Jacobs - and Larry Adler.
Throughout the series, Desmond's guest is the veteran singer and broadcaster Teddy Johnson who, 60 years ago, was the first British presenter of the first-ever radio series of Top Twenty record programmes.
