Overview

Hello Cheeky was a series broadcast on BBC Radio 2 between 1973 and 1979. It was written and performed by Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, and John Junkin, with music by the Denis King Trio, and produced by David Hatch, Richard Willcox, and Bob Oliver Rogers.

There were also three Christmas specials: Hello Cheeky, Hello Christmas in 1973, Hello Christmas in 1974 and the pantomime-style Cheeky Whittington and his Magic Ballpoint in 1976.

Regular segments included the quickfire "meanwhile"s, "would you believe it?"s, "home hints for the handyman", phone calls, news flashes and comic songs. The final sketch frequently featured a comic amalgam of three ostensibly serious broadcasts.

Hello Cheeky quickly gained a reputation of containing absolutely terrible jokes and puns. Two random examples of jokes are, "I once spent an evening with twelve Benedictines. What happened? I drank them all and fell over" and, "Enoch Powell sent me a draught board for Christmas. Trouble is, all the squares are white." On 6 April 1975, "The Least Worst of Hello Cheeky" was recorded before a live audience in the Paris Studio. It was produced by Bob Rogers. From the two hour show, 45 minutes was released on vinyl. Two 30 minute shows containing material from this recording session were broadcast on 25 January and 1 February 1976.
