Arena

I saw this last night and thought of you.

Did anyone see it? On BBC4, around 10ish. An old Arena programme about Roy P. & DID.

(Actually, I found the programme before was more entertaining - an 82 edition of Arena, a homage to the Ford Cortina. )

Oh drat, I missed that. Sounds interesting.

I heard something the other day that said that Roy Plomley had started his radio career as a comedian/ comic actor, which is quite hard to imagine.

a homage to the Ford Cortina

“I am a young executive,
No cuffs than mine are cleaner,
I have a slim-line briefcase,
And I drive the firm’s Cortina.”

Couldn’t see that being written, nowadays.
