The Annual Junior Choice Special!
Hi everyone
For the past few years, Lulu and I have celebrated a radio show which people still love to this day if BBC Radio 2 listeners are anything to go by.
Junior Choice was a radio show for children and the young at heart. It was broadcast on both Radio 1 and 2, and from 1968 to 1980, Ed Stewart was the host, with memorable catch-phrases and jingles, and the programme was full of requests, many of which were recorded on tape. Each Christmas, Ed revisits this show on Radio 2 and the requests still come flooding in.
We’re celebrating the show as we always do on New Year’s Day, 7 PM UK, 2 PM Eastern. It’s often difficult to find new show extracts and original recordings of songs we haven’t played before, but we’re sure we have done this time! There are lots of vinyl recordings too for those who like those.
So if you remember the show, or even if you don’t, do join us for lots of nostalgic memories and songs for children on the Bell!

Best wishes and happy new year!
Brian
