Hi Gaye. Your latest article “got me thinking”. I have been doing and no doubt will be doing – a lot of interviews this year, as I reached the unheard of milestone of voicing (and facing) a computer game lead character for 20 years. Agent 47 in IO Interactive’s Hitman franchise. Here’s the thing – one question I’m often asked is: “how did you get started in v/o’s?”. It was my mum who suggested during second year varsity, that I go down to SABC and ask to audition for the juvenile parts in radio drama productions. Your story reminded me – how much imagination we use in listening to those radio theatre stories. I loved every minute of it. Love, David

Such memories! I remember my dear friend Jimmie White inviting me round for a glass of wine… to watch the test pattern! And happy memories of evenings spent mesmerised watching ‘The World at War!

This is a terrific read and triggers vivid memories from the past. I was already a journalist when TV began and some of my duties involved watching and reporting. Those were the days. keep up the good work.

Just loved reading this Gaynor, bought back memories of our family listening to the radio too, Check Your Mate, Just a Minute, The Mind of Tracey Dark and of course Squad Cars! A much simpler world it was, such happy memories, thank you!

What a wonderful blog this one is! You made so much more of it than I could have imagined. It took me right back to my days before TV and the beloved radio. And reminded me of what it was like when TV finally came. We were also one of the first to have a set in our neighbourhood, because of my Dad’s work. It was a Phillips and lasted my parents from 1975 to 2002, can you believe?
