I certainly can remember huddling around the wireless listening to the afternoon/evening serials such as LIfe with Dexter, Dad and Dave, Smokey Dawson, Hop Harrigan etc in the days prior to TV. Great fun.

What a nostalgia heave! Brockoff biscuits Eskimo Pies, forgotten all about them! When Jack Davey was introduced, I was shouting “Hi-ho everybody!” before he’d spoken. I remember he died suddenly (1958?). I recall many of these ads on 3AW, between the kids’ serials (Hop Harrigan, Captain Silver etc). Which ad had a chap shouting the phone number “LW 3305” with a pronounced echo? Was it Webb’s Radio? And what about, “You’ll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent”?

Yes LW was the telephone prefix for Ormond where Webb Radio was in North Road. Originally in a shop and I think they took over the old Plaza cinema over the road.

That's the one. It stood for "Started favourite slipped and fell. What a f....? Willie Fennel". My father used to tell me the story all the time when I was a tiny fella and I vaguely remember hearing it in the car one day. It was about going to back a horse and he had only enough money for 8 letters. Would love to hear it again.

It's interesting that the radio call letter jingles (and the Lovable Bra commercial) were from the USA, where such things originated. I was surprised the first time I discovered they'd also been used by the pirate radio stations in Britain in the '60s also. I didn't realize people in other countries were hearing these too.

Lots of big time advertisers paid extra for the US to make ads for local use. A major station here, 3UZ, as at 2:00 , came unstuck when their first record came back with them singing ' three you ZEE ". A delay until re done and corrected.

@@johnd8892 Well, that's understandable. "Zed" is unknown in America. Commercial radio stations in the USA have either 3 letters (very old, assigned by the government in the 1920s) or 4 letters. Plus, those in the west start with "K" while in the east they start with "W". The companies that recorded the singing jingles therefore had to have a standard piece of music that could accommodate all these variations, particularly since "W" is the only letter consisting of three syllables instead of just one. And foreign stations were even more variable.

One I have been chasing is an episode of D24 from Crawfords. Heard it replayed on 3AW about twenty five years ago. Set at Glennferrie or similar station with the older suburban train whistles, pre RVB. A long shot though.

All the themes used in the Australian version of Superman (which was superior to the original US serial), starring Leonard Teal, was sourced from a 12-inch 78rpm recording called 'Danger Man'. I'm not entirely sure but I think it was composed and conducted by George Melachrino.
