THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THEY USED TO

Picture
Welcome to They Don't Make 'em Like they Used To. A nostalgic radio show that looks back at pre 1980 (the year I was born) movies and fawns over how lovely they were.

Currently this page is just the collection of all the shows that I and a few friends primarily Shaun and Joe with added Sharon do for Sunshine Radio at St. Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight.  ​
