This isn’t exactly a jingle, but a top of hour ident.. i dont know where else to ask even after googling and asking a friend at the BBC.

Some years ago, I heard a BBC top of hour id that was apparently some kind of spoof but I cant find it again. It was voiced by a female and mentioned like every little hamlet and way you could listen to them.. “on a coat hanger in so and sos clsoet, on M so and so motorway where we get blasted out by radio lester”

Does anyone have any idea what im talking about and can post a copy? I can hear it in my head.. but can’t find a darn copy.

Thanks Jonno, good find.

This is new to me, What’s the story ?

Wasn’t it one of those Victor Lewis Smith wonderful spoofs?

I always preferred this REAL spoken ID, from the “needletime-stretching” days of ILR:-

I’ve got a feeling these were produced ‘in house’. The BBC training facility at Wood Norton rings bells for some reason. But this could be completely wrong.

Here’s a better version posted by UKRadioBits which includes the Dot the cleaner jingle which my clip is missing.

These IDs date back from circa 2005 and there is even a “spoof” logo (based on the BBC local radio logo of the time) to go with them:

I think they were produced for some kind of training or conference presentation; maybe somebody will be able to confirm.

thanks for all the info, backstory and fun surrounding this guys…..

Seeing the “Countyshire” pic inserted/linked above – since TinyPic.com closed a few months ago,
can someone suggest a FREE picture server service that can be used in the same/similar way to that?
Thanks
