Chairman, BILL HARTLEY
Recorded In the Guild Hall, Abingdon
Produced by James Pestridge followed by the latest news of roads and traffic
Motoring and the Motorist tries to cater for the ' average ' motorist, to keep him informed of technical, legal, and other such developments in the world of motoring. The audiences number up to a million and the postbags show their keen interest. Today's ' Crossroads ' audience from Women's Institutes might also be taken to reflect the fact that about half the listeners are women motorists; they take their driving seriously and are anxious to find out all they can about it.
MOTORING AND THE MOTORIST 500th Edition
This weekly programme for motorists began in the Midland Home Service in 1953. Four years later it began to be broadcast nationally, and at the rate of 50 programmes a year it has now clocked up its 500.
The original idea was Bill Hartley's, and he has been editor and introducer of the programme ever since. Jim Pestridge has been producing the programme since 1961, but these two first came together just twenty-one years ago with a Midland programme called How's Your Car? Radio Times motoring supplements are thus in a long tradition of collaboration in broadcasting.
