DON'T BLAME THE BBC!
Posted by STEVE M on
Here we see in happier times, a large poster proclaiming DON'T BLAME THE BBC! Whatever for as Jimmy Saville was just a lad playing with his Dinky toy (ooo-eeer) at this time!!!!!!!!!!!!! In actual fact it's a Mullard poster at the Northern Radio Show of 1952 telling visitors that they mustn't blame the BBC for poor radio performance as it may be a failing valve that has robbed their set of sparkle. Interestingly enough, do you see the cartoon characters on the poster? ..... do they look familiar? ...... well, if you are a fan of St Trinian's...
