Thanks for this. Yes, I was born in 1948, so grew up with Daphne Oxenford and her colleagues Julia Lang and Dorothy Smith reading a story each weekday for many years. May she rest in peace. Btw the piano duet that they played at the end of each edition was the Berceuse from Faure's Dolly Suite--on Youtube if you want to be reminded of those days.

I've fond memories of LWM as well. As a '51er there wasn't anything else really for us to listen to and if I was off school for any reason I'd always try to hear it.
They were all lovely stories, I wonder if any were archived? Probably not, which is a shame.

Shame that the audio clip in the Daily Fail story is that of Julia Lang and not Daphne Oxenford.
If memory serves Daphne also did many years service as one of the readers for Granada TV's What the Papers Say. |
