Hello Josephine,
I’m not too sure if this is this the best way to contact you, but I just caught up on your recent BBC Sounds “Do You Speak English ?” podcast/stream, whilst trying to hunt down more info on the “Walter & Connie” TV show.
I managed to find a short snippet from the first “Walter & Connie” episode “At Home”, from Norwegian TV. I’ve posted it on YouTube, and added the b-side of their only single called, “What Is This?”, to the end of the clip, if you’re interested.
I also recently bought 3 albums, which features all the episodes, (39), from the later series “Walter & Connie Reporting” from 1965!
Hi Bruce,
Thank you so much for this. Do you remember them from the 60s? I would love to hear that single! I have never heard it. If you have the link could you please email it to me?: josephine.mcdermottATbbc.co.uk (The @ is like that to avoid bots)
