Final Waggoners' Walk

I remember arriving home from school to find Mum perched on her favourite stool reading My Weekly, eating a Kit Kat and shusshing me as she caught up on the latest happenings on Waggoners' Walk. I can hum the theme tune still. Hum hum, hmm hum hum, hum hummmm, twidly plonk. Look.

That's about all I remember of it. A black and white Val Singleton was of more interest in the front room.

The Radio Two daily serial began in April 1969. Replacing 'The Dales', it was set in a Victorian lodging house on a North London cul-de-sac, located between Hampstead Village and Belsize Park.

As ever, when it was threatened with 'the axe', the nation, or at least the press. were in uproar. It ended in 1980.
