Twenty-six weeks of
The rackets in second-hand cars
The tumbling toilets of Tile Street
One man, Bernard Braden
and his team, John Pitman, Esther Rantzen
take a look at some of the things that happened -and forward at some of the things that never will
Song of the week: Jake Thackray
Children of the week: Harold Williamson
At the end of the present series the producer, John Lloyd, looks back over the twenty-six weeks of programmes.
"Working on Braden's Week is a little like living in the middle of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party: you develop a very specialised view of life. The world is full of men who never come to mend gas cookers, ladies who build bicycles that ride backwards, men who drink upside-down, or beautiful girls who are breeding big cats for witches. Not that the programme doesn't have its serious, purposeful side. There was the news agency who rang us saying their cat had had kittens and did anybody want one? We managed to find homes for two of them, and we have assembled a fine collection of newspaper headlines on the wall. My favourite is Hairdressers told, 'Get your heads out of the sand.' No, looking back, we have achieved something. For a start, one of those kittens is house-trained."
