- Twenty Questions.
BBC Radio game show from the 40s & 50s chaired by the irascible Gilbert Harding and featuring panelists Joy Adamson, Anona Winn, Jack Train and Kenneth Horne - not forgetting the sepulchral ‘mystery voice’ of Norman Hackforth . This edition was broadcast from Brighton. The date of the recording is uncertain. - Розваги
More please!!
Thanks for posting this. Twenty Questions is a fun game. Great to hear such well spoken English accented English.
Twenty Questions 7.3.23 0842am i was searching for the face to face interview he appeared on... seems very odd that this episode should be the one no one can locate. did the man exist!? obviously. he appeared on what's my line, didn't he?..... this show, perhaps, being the precursor? sounds like your gilbert harding would have been an excellent team captain for call my bluff.
Absolutely brilliant..... how well I remember these - back to the late '40s.
Yes, Peter. I too remember the programme well and the inimitable voices of Gilbert Harding and Norman Hackforth (And the next object is ........) Thank-you for your kind comments and best wishes for a happy Christmas and a peaceful 2021.
“A behttle echs, a behttle echs…”
My goodness, this was a must-listen-to program, when I was growing up.
I remember , these people, very well.
Gilbert Harding had a reputation for being grumpy; but he was a clever man with a dry sense of humour .
This is another program, from that era, when talent was evident on the few broadcasting channels. Nowadays (2021) there are scores of channels , inevitably, filled with drivel.
Thank-you for taking the trouble to comment on my Twenty Question video, John. Your view reflects my own entirely with regard to the programmes we have to put up with nowadays. Best wishes - Pete
Twenty Questions 7.3.23 0850am did you ever catch the face to face interview he faced up to? the little i have read makes him seem or sound like yer average grumpy, cranky BBC staid type, if you ask me... a waning tradition, also. and sadly so. we will miss the grumpy tradition. a genuine curmudgeonly. no matter. it is of another era and would probably be appreciated by my father and mother and aunts and uncles.
I seem to remember Rafio 4 Extra repeatuing this show a few years ago and I believe it was first broadcast in 1959, just over a year before Mr Harding died at the age of 53 (16/11/60)
Transcript at 17.33 ‘abdominal snowman’!
Radio 4 extra has a special on him tonight, from 19.00 to 22.00
Twenty Questions 0856am 7.3.23 BBC4 tv channel did a feature on him. cant say i saw it. i can envisage the team, now, hands shooting up into the air, eager to speak... said grumpy chap eventually gettin' round to acknowlegding their hissing pleas - wherein he is met with the words: can i go to the lavatory, please? p.s on a more serious note - Brighton Rock sprang to mind... Kolly Kibber.
Reene Houston, what programme was she in,
Early Clitheroe Kid, and Petticoat Line. See the full list in Wikipedia.
According to the BBC Genome, it might be BBC Home service 16 Aug 1960 at the Dome, Brighton.
