When Housewives Had the Choice

BBC Radio 2
on BBC Radio 2

Conceived in Sweden, born in 1946, the Light Programme's long-running request show catered to the needs of the women at home - and in the age of austerity those needs were great.
With the help of material from newspaper, magazine and radio archives, Russell Davies and Maureen Lipman tell the tale of those times and present recordings that were requested and played in the original programmes.
