I am guessing that by the time this was produced, Freddy was well known. Unfortuangtely, I didn't get to know him on the air and as such dont' see his life as that interesting.

Freddie Grisewood was born at Darylesford in Worcestershire, and joined the BBC in July 1929. He had sung for them as early as 1925. He was reained as a singer under Victor Beigel and sang the solo bass part in Sir George Henshel's Requiem at Queen's Hall in 1913. He joined the 1st/3rd Oxfordshire and Bucks Light Infantry and went to France in March 1915, but was invalided out in April 1917. After this he went to Kingham, Oxon, to manage the Darlesford Estate that had once belonged to the first Govenor-General of India, Warren Hastings. His famour character of Our Bill is the result of his adoption of the dialect in his district. He has been a good sportsman and played cricket and tennis for Worcestershire and hockey for Oxfordshire. He used to have a handicap of two in golf.

When Any Questions was first thought of in 1948 he was invited to be the Question Master and told that with luck the programme might run for six weeks. In fact, in 1968 the programme is still a weekly feature of BBC Radio and in 1961 Freddy Grisewood was voted Radio Personality of the previous year. He made his farewell appearance as its Question Master on 12th April 1968, having been assocaited with the programme continuously for almost twenty years.

Dear Freddy,
Do you remember, not long ago you and I did a programme entitled Two Old Squares? You were approaching eighty. I was three years behind you, and so now you have got there first. And indeed you started first. It was only in 1951, when as a superannuated academic I went gay on the Light Programme, that I became conscious of our mutual squaredom. And you then became a vital part of my existance in what is called retirement - though retirement is not quite all that it is said to be! Any way - the happiest part of my retirement in Any Questions. For me it began with admiration for your skilled management which at an early stage became affection for management which at an early stage became affection for you and in due course development into love. Since I am now 77 I think I can without impropriety make this public disclosure of the stae of my heart. But what times we had! And what fun it was to see politicians slanging one another like turtle-doves at dinner before the programmes. Of course for you it could not go on. To ask a man of eighty to travel every Friday to almost any part of the country with long tiring journeys and nights in strange places, for a live programme where any unsuitable utterance by any member of the team would be heard by millions, that is surely asking too much. The only trouble is that so man people who have only heard your voice can't believe that you are meighty.

The other programme which became part of my listening pleasure, though byou didn't know it, was your handling of Scrapbooks. But perhaps this was not exactly undiluted pleasure. I found it rather nostalgic because the years you described were years I had lived through.

But you memories were the same as my memories and so we seemed to move through those years together.

But do not let us say good-bye to you because Any Questions now has to find a new Question Master. I am hoping that you will often be able to talk to us under less strenuous conditions. Why not from your own fireside - or from your own sun-room when there is any sun?
Yours ever,
Mary Stocks
