If you go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whirligig-tv.co.uk\/radio\/\" target=\"_blank\">Radio Days site<\/a> and search for Dick Bentley they have a few samples of a radio program  he did in the 50s called <b>Take It From Here.<\/b> Apparently he also worked with Peter Sellers.<\/p>\n<p>It became a huge holy grail for me to find this record again. Find it I did at a record shop in San Bruno that had a huge collection of kids records. Amazingly, I found it even though it had no cover, and so in a sense I am still looking. I like it just as much now as I did then, actually I only like side 1, side 2 is a Winnie the Pooh story that has a Piglet voice that has and still annoys me.
