I heard this channel aired Audrey And Friends in 2002 along with Channel 5 during the Milkshake! and Shake! blocks. Does anybody have any BFBS tapes from 2002 that contain children’s shows that may potentially have some Audrey and Friends episodes?

Providing the continuity and also featured within the documentary is continuity announcer Keith Martin. Sadly news came last week that Keith had died at the age of 89 following a long illness.

Thank you for this wonderful piece of nostalgia! I served over in Germany between 1984 and 1992 - very fond memories of my time there reflected here.

BFBS brought me my childhood telly for 3 formative years when I was 7-10 years old. Fascinating to see those presenters again! Thanks for uploading :O)

BFBS Radio playing "What Cha' Gonna Do For Me" by Chaka Khan. Nice slice of post-disco which sadly failed to chart in the UK.

❤ Brilliant memories. Especially (for me, as an ex bleep) the introduction of live news via the microwave links.
