I just listened to the episode of "The Glums", where Mr. Glum got his toe stuck in the bath' s plug hole : Eth noted he'd been in there a long time , Ron said, " He's an old man...." Eth said he'd been in there 3 hours , so Ron said, " Maybe he's a dirty old man..." 🇬🇧😊🦉💙👍🌈🎭🇬🇧
I love " The Glums "! The sketches always start with Eth saying, " Ooo, Ron !" Sad , though : only 115 " likes" over 5 years ...😢. People don't know what they are missing ! So well crafted, with gentle humour .🙂. I'm so pleased these " gems" have been preserved 🙂. Many years ago, I had a very nice ( and treasured) reply to my letter where I noted that our dogs (terriers) , looked very similar 🐕🐕🙂. June was known to her peers as a very reliable colleague .🙂. An admirable career , with much good work. 🇬🇧👍🙂🦉💙🐕🐕🇬🇧
Nostalgia personified. 😇
June Whitfield was SO reliable in everything she did.🌹. When she was about to take on the role of " Eth" ( Ron's "Beloved "), June asked her Mother how she should play it : what type of voice...Mother advised, " Like Mrs ( xyz )... and as a result, we have enjoyed that instantly recognised voice ever since. I had an abandoned terrier in 1966, and saw June's own dog briefly on t.v., it was the " spitting image " of my " Ricky " : I wrote to June, and she graciously replied😊. 🇬🇧🌹🦉😊💙🐕😊
My favourite radio show, what recollections!
The Birthday Boy episode is a gem. Mr Glum referring to Ron's Birthday Card: "It fell off the rack and a dog walked on it!" Such a srangely hilarious line.
Oh my goodness, this is so very funny!
The magnificent June Whitfield. What an amazing lady every inch the star ⭐️ you may be gone but you will never be forgotten. Thank for the joy & laughter you have given. Forever in my heart. ❤❤
Superb times listening with mum dad and sister.
This is one i have not heard. So enjoyable. Thank you.
This takes me back to when I was a kid in the 50s. 👍
They don't make um like this anymore.........sadly
When comedy was comedy
Ron & Eth. A romance made in heaven. 😃😃😃
Dick Bentley gives a perfect performance as the retarded Ron.
Who is the man on the left if the photo?
I think it's Wallas Eaton
Gosh! Closed my eyes and it took me right back to the 1940's.
That's wonderful!
Me too! :))
Pity about the occasional interference. This is one of the best of all the Glums. Many very funny lines.
Oh wow, what memories. Listening to these, drinking cocoa sat on Dad's knee as a small child
That sounds so wonderful! I'm glad it brought back happy memories for you : )
Thanks a lot for taking the time to post these for us. Absolutely timeless and very enjoyable.👌
I agree they are timeless! I had no idea there would be so many people that still loved to listen to these but it was definitely a worthwhile exercise : )
✨🤣✨
Beautiful ✨
Fond memories
So well written and acted. Thank you for this.
I agree, and no problem at all : )
Wonderfully written and acted. ❤️ Thank you for this.
I agree and although the sound quality isn't great, the quality of the talent shines through : )
Thank you for this. Great show. Muir and Norden were superb writers.
Thank you for this gem.
Thank you for uploading these.
So many happy memories from listening to shows like this when I was growing up! Sundays were, full of such joys. The Glums, Life with the Lyons, Family Favourites, Take it from Here, Sing Something Simple and a great favourite Round The Horne, Navy Lark and more. Still remember that great old brown radio on top of the cupboard. An utter joy to still be able to laugh and know I won't hear any foul language or innuendo. Well, yes, I know Round the Horne was innuendo-ridden...but I didn't know then!
Delightful. Cheeky comedy with hugely talented comedians. A real joy. Thank you. 📻👏🤎🎤
June Whitfield, so brilliant, did she get any Queens award.
She really was great I agree! Yes she received a DBE, so she was Dame June Rosemary Whitfield : )
Brilliant I laughed again. Then I watched stand up on the TV and the audience were laughing they must have been on some thing special it didn't make me smile
Love this ep! Great stuff. Hi from Oz. 👇🙃💜
This one is lovely. Poor Ron. He's not exactly a genius. Hi from Oz. 👇💜🙃
This is a favourite of mine. A wonderful concept for a comedy story! Hi from Oz. 👇💜🙃
This was amazing, esp now knowing that it is the 1st ep. Just gorgeous. From down under. 👇💜🙃
Poor Ethel. At least she doesn't have a stupid boyfriend! Navy + "moorooned" pullover. Hi from Oz. 👇💜🙃
People don't seem to have the imagination for radio comedy any longer, everything now has be to ultra-graphic or foul mouthed for them to understand. These radio shows were primetime listening, written by the best comedy writers of our time. Thanks for uploading these wonderful shows, so many memories.
You're very welcome! I totally agree it's a shame comedy nowadays, even when well written, always feel the need to have bad language and confronting themes. I'm so glad my parents recorded these (and that I found the recordings!). They recorded them for us to listen to at home or in the car but they've got a new life online now (if allowed to stay!).
Totally agree ! Wonderful recordings. Thank you so much.
Brilliant
Oh Ron
it's Nice to look at this Picture of June Whitfield who was very Beautiful and so talented and I'm glad that her Daughter has followed her Mother into the acting Profession and she has had a Marvellous teacher to help her in her Mother and June Whitfield is solely Missed
What can anyone say we had nothing but the radio rental in the 50s/60 still the best thing to listen to ahahah
Thank you... great to hear again....
You're most welcome and thanks for listening : )
The Glums were part of my childhood, sitting near the steam radio on a Sunday. " Ohhhh, Ron " ..... " Yes, beloved ". " Hello, hello, hello. What's going on here ? " Great memories. Loved June Whitfield. Shw was a real sweetie. 😇 Ron was so dumb he would slot comfortably into the Labour Party's front bench. 😂😂😂
So naive and funny good old days
Just found it after all these years....my childhood spent around the radio with my family listening to all the great radio shows of that period...what great days !!!!
Glad you found it! I found these recordings after going through my Dad's things after he passed away and thought others might enjoy them : ) I remember listening to them as a child and thought they were great even though I knew they were from an earlier time. Great humour is timeless! Thanks for sharing your happy memories : )
Classic is the word.
I'm from South Africa and I very much enjoy The Glums
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, memories !
wonderful programme
