Ten Years on 2
4 Extra Debut. The music, the people, even sport - a summary of 大象传媒 Radio 2's first decade, lovingly tied together by Terry Wogan. From October 1977.
It's back to 1977 - as Terry Wogan reviews the first ten years of 大象传媒 Radio 2.
With the arrival of Radio 1, the 大象传媒 Light Programme was also relaunched as Radio 2 on Saturday 30th September 1967 at 7am on 1500 metres long wave and Stereo VHF.
From the very first programme - Breakfast Special with Paul Hollingdale, Terry fondly guides us through the early years of the 大象传媒's easy listening station.
Highlights include many familiar names like Pete Murray, Jimmy Young and Michael Parkinson, plus Muhammad Ali, Fred Astaire, Billy Cotton, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Gene Kelly, Kenneth Home, Jack Jackson Joe Loss, David Niven, Margaret Thatcher and PJ Wodehouse.
Other flashbacks include Radio 2's daily soaps - The Dales and Waggoner's Walk, plus sporting highlights ranging from the Olympics to Red Rum and a streaker!
