September 30, 20232 yr 34 minutes ago, KannikaP said: Sandy Mac Pherson According to Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Favourites Uncle Mac was Derek McCulloch, known as Uncle Mac. The programme played requests from children of all ages. For the first 11 years of its run, the programme was introduced by Derek McCulloch, known as Uncle Mac. McCulloch's grandfatherly tone was quintessentially 'old-school' BBC.[2] His opening words "Hello children, everywhere!", his catch-phrase was a modification of his much earlier closing words "Goodnight children, everywhere" on Children's Hour. He was the one that I remember until I left home in January 1960. McCulloch made his last broadcast in 1965 and several other presenters were tried including Leslie Crowther. After BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2 were launched, the show was renamed Junior Choice and simultaneously broadcast on both stations. I only have a very vague memory of Sandy MacPherson. All I can remember is the announcer saying something like " and here is Sandy MacPherson at the theatre organ". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_MacPherson After the war, MacPherson also periodically gave recitals on parish church organs in England and Wales. He retired from the position of BBC Theatre Organist in 1963 and the BBC sold the 5-manual 27-rank Moller organ, it being assumed that the days of theatre-organ music were over, with audience numbers for this genre fast declining.

Listen to Ringo's last words, written by John, on Goodnight off The White Album.....Goodnight everybody, everybody, everywhere.
