RTBWTV August 17th 2025 - Tributes and Radio to TV and vice versa

With radio being the senior service for so long, why not see if the tried and trusted formats could transfer to that insolent upstart television?
Guy Morgan and David Newell explore those early migrations of the 1950s, what worked best and how the tide also flowed back with popular TV shows appearing on the wireless. We ask: What works best? Why did early TV newsreaders look shifty? Do ventriloquists on the radio really have to try that hard?
And what are the challenges of moving from one medium to the other?
Plus we pay tribute to Biddy Baxter, Gerald Harper and Ray Brooks.
