Pretty much every live programme on Radio 4 ends that way.

Basil Brush.

Mr Derek/Roy/Whoever would stop reading the story on a cliffhanger. Bulldog Basil, Blast-Off Basil, etc.

I thought crimewatch followed by “stay safe”

SlashBeef · 29/06/2024 09:57

Newsround still say that

thanks everyone. I think it was the two ronnies. I’m in my 50’s so this is my childhood right there. The phamton raspberry blower of old London Town ! lol

Ha ha
If forgotten that one.

StoneHenge85 · 29/06/2024 09:47

Basil Brush!

The Phantom Raspberry Blower-had forgotten that.

Charley Farley & Piggy Malone.

And of course the classic Four Candles.

Don't loads of them say this!?

Yes, it's a generic phrase that lots of shows used.

You might as well ask "which show used to end with See You Next Week?" Loads of 'em!

Takeshis castle popped into my head but I can't remember how it ended

muddyford · 29/06/2024 06:40

The Two Ronnies. Then they would add a few items of late news.

Theoldwoman · 29/06/2024 06:38

Bear in the Big Blue House

Nightowl1234 · 29/06/2024 06:37

I thought of Frasier Crane and how he signs off his radio show

Willmafrockfit · 29/06/2024 06:14

the news

Boogieondownn · 29/06/2024 06:12

That’s Life?

RhubarbAndMustard · 29/06/2024 06:00

My first thought straight away was The Really Wild Show with Michaela Strachan, Terry Nutkins and Chris Packham...but no idea if I'm right.

No it was from the 2 Ronnies - showing my age now.
Used to watch with my dad
It was a brilliant show - look up the sketch - 4 candles - fork handles.

The Two Ronnies.

Rowena191 · 28/06/2024 22:57

Basil Brush. The presenter used to slam a book shut and say "That's all we have time for this week, Basil!"

MrsSkylerWhite · 28/06/2024 22:57

Two Ronnies?

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 28/06/2024 22:55

It was the Two Ronnies. The did a sketch which was a spoof of newsreader.ls, and that is how it ended.
