I miss those dreary days in the jungle of Borneo in the early 1990s when my small SW radio was my window (fastest source of news)to the world. BBC World Service was a constant companion. The Colombia disaster, The Iraq War, Bosnia, 911 - heard them all first on BBC WS radio.

The iconic lillybulero signature tune and This is London (radio call) will always give goosebumps in a positive to those who were a part of listening SW bandwidth across the world! My favourite was Radio Moscow World Service (English service) for two reasons first one of their iconic signature tune (Moscow nights) and the music!! Thank you for posting this document it was delightful to hear the distorted analogue radio broadcast from a bygone era! A fan and an admirer from Pakistan!

I'm from Ireland and Shortwave was very musch a part of my childhood too. I love this stuff. I used to think that Tirana, Belgrade and Warsaw were all so exotic back in those days.

Liliburlero, and Imperial Echoes (Radio Newsreel).

Broadcast on BBC1 Wednesday 8th December 1982

I love shortwave radio.

Listened to the BBC WS in Belgium during the 1980s on shortwave. Was an important part of my day. "BBC World Service. The news, read by Pamela Crighton." "This is Tommy Vance with Rock Salad. Music on the heavier side." -Or something to that effect. How about those endless lists of local sports match scores? Tide listings? "The Brotherhood of Brass" 😊

The best part of the BBC

Wow, I can't imagine allowing smoking in a studio let alone opening a mic without cans on.

those were the days. used to listen to the wild service often in the 1980s. on short wave radio.

In the UK the signal was terrible but the domestic BBC seems to think news keeps office hours so I put up with the crackles and fades

wow! I remember hearing this voice on the BBC growing up in the 90s!

Thank you this for this upload David. Wonderful!

That was amazing and really interesting. I listen to the World Service every day now, fascinating to see its earlier days

The sooner they bring back "This is London" and a Full Blast of Lillybulero the better...Iconic ..rather than the boring generic replacement that could be any station...I hope somebody in power has the sense to do it!!

@@mutendemuwowo715 Yes ,it's a shame!

every human on this planet may have good memories with the bbc. i used to listen to bbc in arabic.

This is amazing!

Such a shame THAT BBC is no more.

If anyone's wondering the Russian announcement music is the prince of denmarks march, specifically Wood's version, and the radio newsreel intro music is a march called "Imperial echoes".

....... and Bruce Hamel was the BBC1 continuity announcer!

bbc is history. very good memories.

Used to listen to Readio Moscow, Iran Radio Moscow used to treport how many tractors were made that day. 1960 70s pure gold

Good information

Am I right to believe the announcer at the beginning is Keith Bosley? I remember when he retired on air in the realy 90s.

Really interesting piece of film
