More archive When Big Joan Sets Up.This week, the earliest surviving recording from 1959 presented by my great-uncle “Rockin'” Ted Troughton-Cope. A man whose DA haircut was so perfect that he was forced to retire from broadcasting just after this programme was broadcast due to the back of his head being sexually assaulted by a gang of amorous mallards thus leaving him with a morbid fear of ponds and thoughts of homicidal revenge which manifested themselves in his infamous attack on Keith Harris in the early 1980’s for which he got 30 years hard labour. Listen to him in happier times.
