In December 1975 I was one of the winners of the BBC's annual Jackanory Story Writing Competition. My prize was to have have my story read by Kenneth Williams. There were two anonymous presenters who read the bulk of the winning entries in the studio. Halfway through the programme, came the star spot: the lucky winner selected to have their story read by Williams. I got the Wednesday Williams Spot. One of the forgotten presenters would pick up the phone and dial. We then cut to a pre-filmed sequence featuring Kenneth riding imperiously in the back of a sleek Rolls Royce, giving the segment a pleasing air of class. Kenneth's in-car phone would ring; he would answer, repeat the name of the winning story, then get out of the car and start reading. I have a dim memory of my story being read before a rather bleak backdrop of urban decay - a scrapyard perhaps or wasteland. Entrants were invited to submit their own illustrations for their stories, which I did. Kenneth duly held them up for the rostrum cameras. There are no extant copies left' sadly, as I remember they were rather good. Like the story itself, they were very much influenced by Spike Milligan. The programme no longer exists in the BBC's archives. This recording, made by holding a borrowed portable cassette recorder up to the television, is all that remains of it. [NB sharp-eyed visitors will notice that my 13-year old self absent-mindedly wrote the date as 10-11-75, rather the correct 10-12-75] For more on my story and clips of Kenneth in action, see this clip of BBC4's Story of Jackanory (2006) http://youtube.com/watch?v=o1bUsFcMzsA
