Neville Whiting was joined by Muriel Young and guitarist Bert Weedon as hosts of this kid’s TV series from Associated-Rediffusion which aired at 5.00 pm on Tuesday afternoons.
The show was set on a children’s newspaper and combined music, sport and adventure.
A regular item was “Happy Cooking” with Fanny and Johnny Cradock. Sometimes their cooking seemed anything but happy as Johnny – a jolly gent in a monocle who always gave the impression that he’d had a drop too much cooking sherry – was bullied around the kitchen by Fanny.
Lucky Dip eventually evolved into Tuesday Rendezvous (1961 – 1962), where Young and Weedon were joined by Howard Williams and, eventually, Wally Whyton, which changed again two years later to The Five o Clock Club.
