Mysterious Traveller was my favorite.
Good story, I love old radio and I miss the old days.
Nah.
That was just what they used to call radio drama, comedy etc.
I “saw” it all on the radio. lol
My girlfriend loves it when my hnir stands on its end.

The Whistler knows many things as I walk by night
Not familiar with that one.
I’ll have to give it a listen. Thanks
On our looonnnggg drives we listen to it religiously. Hate it if drive comes to end before the program!
“All I remember about the story is that it involved men working on a metal structure - an oil rig, or a radio tower - something like that.”
Watch reruns of Twighlight Zone!

I used to tell my grandkids that we sat around the radio listening to fireworks on July 4.
Seen one, seen them all but the music is decent....<: <:
I read where a guy was telling his kid how they used to listen to radio, and the kid asked "Yeah, but but what did you WATCH?"
Growing up in west central Wisconsin, we were too far away to get any decent TV reception, but a clear channel AM radio station out of Minneapolis (that we could receive at night) would do replays of ‘Radio Mystery Theater’ and ‘Radio Adventure Theater’. I believe you can download these.

I dunno.
We saw small fireworks when I was also small; but they were inspiring, and grew in imagination beyond even larger displays that I’ve seen since.
It seems to me that no matter what I’ve seen in the small travels of my life, everything has always wound up more alive in Memory and Imagination than it all was in the original experience; and maybe the impressions that we harbor within and carry on with us are more Real.
Thanks. I’ll look for these.
For later.

Quartermass and the Pit.
The story first seen as a movie titled “5 Million Years to Earth. It was never forgotten as it was seen at the time of the grasshopper invasion here in Texas. So bad they ate the bark from trees.
It was found on Roku in the original version of BBC broadcast with a few others. Exactly which Roku channel carried it, no idea. Actually, it might have been found via the Wayback Machine and loaded from the Smart TV.
Quartermass/Pit (BBC Broadcast) is found on YouTube in several uploaded installments, along with other Quartermass episodes. Try Google asking for You Tube BBC Quartermass
Thanks. We really enjoyed it.
