INTRODUCTION

'Unforgettable' is broadcast every Monday evening at 19:00 hrs by BBC Radio Lancashire. The programme features three hours of musical nostalgia - spanning the decades from the 1920's to the 1960's. It's largely a request programme - with most of the music each week chosen by the listeners. The power of the music is to rekindle some memories, and sometimes play again a recording that someone hasn't heard for over half a century!
You can listen 'live' or whenever you want via the BBC iPlayer. You'll find links here to do either - and request your personal favourites

Some facts about the programme ...
'Unforgettable' started out life at BBC GMR (now BBC Radio Manchester) back in May 2000. That programme had a very similar format to the current BBC Radio Lancashire incarnation. It was broadcast on Monday evening, for three hours and included requests from listeners all over the North West. Come to think of it - the format is identical! In 2000 the first programme included Bob Hope & Bing Crosby singing together, Judy Garland, Caroll Gibbons and the Ink Spots.
The series ran for around three years, and built up a loyal and devoted audience. At the end of July 2007, BBC Radio Lancashire asked Gerald Jackson to bring the programme to Monday nights there. The long running Frank Wappat show was coming to an end, and the station wanted to replace it with a similar mix of music and nostalgia.
Things had changes since 2000, and now anyone could listen around the world via the BBC website. It soon became apparent that many of the former listeners in Manchester and the North West had found the timeslot and station. Added to that, people from the USA, Australia and across Europe also logged on to listen. Another technical development, the BBC iPlayer now also provides a 7 day catch up service, so listening is no longer restricted to the live event.
