Radio Warneford extended it’s service to five nights a week.

A schedule entitled “Wonderful Radio Warneford” was published and ran for three months. It was given to all the patients. Here’s an extract from it: MONDAYS 7.00pm   Terry Brown Requests 7.45pm   Hancock’s Half Hour 8.15pm   Mr Peggotty Requests 9.00pm   Judge Jeffreys Sweet Sounds FRIDAYS 7.00pm   Judge Jeffreys Soul Music 8.00pm   Terry Brown Requests 9.00pm   Mr Peggotty Big Band Sounds TUESDAYS 7.00pm   Terry Brown Revived 45s 7.45pm   Mr Peggotty at the Theatre

John Flaherty and Geoff Nicholls ran Peggottys Disco together and this formed the basis of the studio. It began in a tiny basement room in the hospital and the Red Cross helped out by visiting patients and collecting requests. Programmes could be heard on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 7pm and 10pm.
