This was an absolute tonic after a rubbish day. The dear ladies created a world I wanted to live in. What an amazing contribution to the world, the Dame and the Doctor so sadly missed.
My mother and I were talking just a few days ago, and she asked me if I could remember how I used to, "book" the TV set every Thursday night for, "Dear Ladies" . I would have only been 9, and 10 years old back then, but I do fondly remember watching the episodes. Thanks so much for your kindness and time uploading gems like this. Thank you my friend. Many blessings to you, your family and the people you love. Hope you have had a lovely Christmas, & best wishes for the New Year. Peace and respect 👍🏽✌🏽
Love the Dame and the Doctor. I have a playlist with all the radio episodes, and this is the first on the list. I always listen to this and the panto one on Christmas Day. Thanks for posting this.
New Zealand, didn't get the radio show - dam it, we missed much. This took me back to the days prior to television in this country - the test transmission received at wealthy relatives, right on the edge of the range - they complained ; we remained thankful for the radio & retaining our imaginations.
Thanks bringing Hinge and braket back ...I used listen to radio 2 in the mid 80s after watching Dear Ladies on BBC 2 and was great to continue the ladies on radio! I'd love hear more of these episodes as well Proper Charlie if any one has these please bring them back on here or BBC Sounds.
Yes, to judge from the way she was introduced in the end credits, it sounds like this was Jean Heywood's first outing as Maud since Daphne Heard (who originated the role) had died less than six months earlier.
Thirty minutes of pure gold!

Usually, i do not enjoy radio programs, but this one is marvelous!
I never realised how good Hinge and Bracket were back in the day so thank goodness for TH-cam. I’m catching up and appreciating now. 😊
Beautifully crafted and an excellent supporting cast. I remember vividly listening to this in my bedroom when first broadcast.

Classic comedy R.i.p "Dear Ladies"
Very funny -even today!
No disrespect to Jean Heywood, and I know at this point she was no longer with us, but for me, dear old Daphne Heard will forever be Maud!!

It was a wonderful and hilarious radio programme. It is a shame that BBC should have shut down RADIO 7. What a disgrace!
The wonderful Hinge and Bracket. Who would have thought that today they are the sensible drag/trans act.
Does anybody know which sketch, is the one where they mention an *appropriately old fashioned" MORRIS MINOR? ( Morris Mynaah!)
I believe it was a commercial for Emva Cream Sherry.
@@rbj8387 thank you very much! Emma Cream sherry!
