The day of the triffids was aired later in the evening, and it was very scary to a 10 year old! When the power was off, we played games, and made up quizes, told ghost stories in front of the fire and made toast and baked potatoes in the embers. LL |

In the morning LLW there was also Portia Faces Life for housewifes of the day. It set me thinking as to how how mentality was affected by the fact we had to use our imagination. I am sure we each had in our mind what a Triffid looked like. When the movie came out I wasnt far off the mark. Today we see it all in pictures, no imagination required. |

Starring Dexter, Jessie (his wife), Ashley (son), Janie (daughter) I often confuse this with "The Jetsons": "Meet George Jetson. His wife (I forget her name). Their boy Elroy. Daughter Jane." |

It was repeated later about 1966 on 2XP New Plymouth on Saturday mornings about 10.30am. I have some old recordings of the opening and closing pieces plus the music somewhere in a box.. |

Ahh, those were the years I discovered girls and aeroplanes. Never listened to the radio from then on for quite a while. IXH was our local station too. If we were ever in Hamilton then it was always a place to visit and watch the announcers through the big glass windows in the studio. Was great to put a face to the voices we all knew so well. |

Did the same thing after school. Would go to the studio about 4:30 and watch the announcers, Malcolm Williamson was one I got to know would spin the records on the turntables, do a good wobble board emulation with the 12" program disks while the tech in the side room would play the ads on aluminum 78 disks covered with shellac. |
