Listen With Mother
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : Listen With Mother
Listen with Mother was a BBC radio programme for children (1950-1982) with Daphne Oxenford, Julia Lang, Eileen Browne, Dorothy Smith and others. Remembered for the opening phrases "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin." The theme music which became synonymous with the programme was 'Berceuse' from Gabriel Fauré's Dolly Suite.
It was broadcast on the Light Programme every weekday afternoon at 1.45, for fifteen minutes, just before Woman's Hour, and was a programme of stories, songs and nursery rhymes (often sung by George Dixon) for children under five (and their mothers). At its peak, it had an audience of over a million.
