JJ was a stalwart of various civilised panel games and v likely turned up on My Music. He was a regular on Round Britain Quiz, and took over as host of My Word! from none other than John Arlott. My Word!, which I loved in my formative years, had the great Frank Muir and Denis Norden as team captains. They were also of course founder panellists on My Music.

Hmmm its a long time ago but somewhere at the back of my mind lurks the name John Julius Norwich who I think was otherwise known as John Julius Cooper, 2nd Viscount Norwich.<br /><br />But I'm unsure if he was the whistler but he was certainly a frequent panellist on that school of BBC 'quiz' show.Banished To A Pompous Landhttp://banishedsbugs.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-83025927221708043972014-02-27T22:09:24.082+00:002014-02-27T22:09:24.082+00:00A bit harsh about Steve Race whom I still miss. H...A bit harsh about Steve Race whom I still miss. He presented My Music on the radio which had teams of Dennis Norden and Ian Wallace against Frank Muir and John Whose Second Name I Forget but was a wonderful whistler. The tv programme, although somewhat similar, wasn't called My Music and was introduced by Someone Whose Second Name is a Mystery but whose first might have been Joseph and who thumped out the silent tunes on the wonderful Dummy Piano.Arthur Ransomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15775858936238630182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-57975631127849004722014-02-26T16:25:59.223+00:002014-02-26T16:25:59.223+00:00Sadly brit you are right in that its quite impossi...Sadly brit you are right in that its quite impossible to imagine pitched either of those shows or Robert Robinson's other hit 'Ask The Family' in the early 21st century.

It was pretty feeble in its latter days, alas. Coren was just brilliant whatever show he was on - he even made the News Quiz entertaining...<br />As for My Music - yes,what a gem that was. Imagine a producer pitching that format now - and it was a big-rating popular show in its time. Remember Bernard Levin and his unfailing recall of K numbers!
