I have removed the reference to "the National Service" as there was never a BBC radio channel of that name. There was a BBC National Programme from 1930 to 1939; however, I do not believe that The Children's Hour was ever broadcast in that service as CH went out in different regional versions. -- Picapica 18:35, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

(Very late!) correction to my remarks above: The Children's Hour (London version) was broadcast in the long-wave (ex-5XX) National Programme when that service was radiated from Daventry, between 10 March 1930 and 6 October 1934. From 8 October 1934 to 1 September 1939 – following the switch of the long-wave service from Daventry to Droitwich – that version of The Children's Hour was moved to the London Regional Programme. -- Picapica (talk) 11:37, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Kathleen Garsgadden"

[edit]

When you go to the link you find she was really called "Kathleen Garscadden" with a "c" in the surname. As this is a link, I can't make the change without damaging it. So I hope someone with the right technical knowledge can do it.213.127.210.95 (talk) 17:03, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

David Davis - Uncle David.

I was born in 1934, so his voice became very familiar to me, and what a beautiful one it was, equalled only by the music critics Alec Robertson and Antony Hopkins; and Helen Henschel among others. Their like is seldom heard these days. I think it a pity that no mention is made that the very last day of broadcasting of Children's Hour was of Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant, being a sideswipe at the BBC.
