Lets Go Somewhere

I'm starting a series of occasional recollections from my early life, and this is the first. When I was about six or seven, I can remember listening to a show on the radio on a Saturday evening called "In Town Tonight". The highlight was a live outside broadcast where Brian Johnston (the cricket commentator) presented "Let's Go Somewhere" between 1948 and 1952. These were all challenging events, and normally ended with Brian screaming at the top of his voice. Not surprising when they included being alone in The Chamber of Horrors, riding a circus horse, laying in a pit as a train went over, being saved from sea by helicopter and being attacked by a police dog. No wonder they made an impression.
