My Music
Last Update: 24 September 2007 A Global British Comedy Collaborative document.
Edited by Sandy Finlayson
My Music was created by Tony Shryane and Edward J. Mason, who also created My Word for the BBC. The
first show was recorded July 31st , 1966 and broadcast January 3rd, 1967. The last show was recorded in
November of 1993 and broadcast on January 24th, 1994. My Music was broadcast in Britain on the Home
Service for the first season and then subsequently on Radio 4. It was also broadcast on the BBC World
Service and made available to stations around the world via the BBC Transcription Service
The panelists for the first eight seasons were Ian Wallace, Denis Norden, David Franklin and Frank Muir.
David Franklin's last appearance before his death was broadcast on March 18th, 1973. He was replaced by
John Amis, who made his first appearance January 1st, 1974.
My Music’s “Chairman” was Steve Race who also compiled the questions beginning with the seventh series in
1972. (For the first six series this task was carried out by Edward J. Mason.) My Music had four producers
during its long run: Tony Shryane, Bobby Jaye, Pete Atkin and Richard Edis.
Broadcast dates in this catalog were taken from The Radio Times.1 The repeat broadcast orders in Australia,
and the US have been used as circumstantial evidence of the order of original broadcasts. This is a large
assumption – we know there are vagaries in the BBC Transcription Service order as originally distributed, in
the US distribution channel (WFMT FineArts), and in the broadcast stations in Australia and the US. While
most of our recordings are those that were edited for foreign broadcast by the BBC Transcription Service, we
do have a few of the original Home Service recordings and these are listed in the document. Shows that are
waiting to be slotted into a specific series were originally divided into four main categories, based on changes
in signature tune and cast. 2
Series A: 1966-73 [First Signature tune [mellotron] with Ian Wallace, Denis Norden, Franklin & Frank Muir.]
Series B: 1974-75 [First Signature tune with Ian Wallace, Denis Norden, John Amis & Frank Muir.]
Series C: 1976-82 [Second Signature tune 3[brass] with Ian Wallace, Denis Norden, John Amis & Frank Muir.]
Series D: 1983-93 [Third Signature tune [piano] with Ian Wallace, Denis Norden, John Amis & Frank Muir.]
This is still very much ‘a work-in-progress’ and it almost certainly contains errors and internal inconsistencies
so there will be changes made as the work proceeds. Take the information here as a guide rather than gospel.
That is not to suggest that the research has been in any way sloppy or careless, just to emphasize that slotting
a given episode into the series/edition framework is an imprecise science based on extrapolation and
implication. Comments, suggestions and especially contributions of recordings are most welcome!

Thanks are due to Martin Hood for his work in researching the history of My Music.
Since all unclassified episodes from the ‘A’, ‘B’ and C eras have now been indentified, these categories are no longer in use.
3 The second My Music signature was first used in the BBC Transcription Service recordings of series 11. The ‘Home Service Broadcasts on Radio 4 began using it
in the 12th series.

This is an edited version of the program that was originally broadcast on May 10, 1974. The BBC TS version then dropped another full round and cut half of the
last round, eliminating the songs sung by John Amis and Denis Norden.

The HS version of this program states that it is the first of the series. This indicates that the order of BBC TS recordings was incorrect at this point.

The original broadcast order of episodes for Season 12 is in doubt. Both ABC Australia and the US Broadcasts of the series began with what we know was
episode 22 and then later returned to episode 1, which was recorded at the Cheltenham International Festival of Music. A further anomaly is that ABC
Austalia skipped two BBC Transcription numbers when they last broadcast this series in 2002. The ordering of episodes in this series is therefore speculative
and can only be confirmed if original recordings of the ‘Home Service’ broadcasts emerge.

According to Steve Race’s book, the 1979 Series ended with the 272nd edition of the show. However there is a discrepancy with cumulative episode numbers and
with the BBC Trasncription Service Numbers.
21 The Radio Times lists Bobby Jaye as the Executive Producer of the 16th and 17th series. However, in the broadcast credits Tony Shryane is mentioned as the
producer.
