Hubert Gregg presented "Thanks For The Memory" from 1970 until his death in 2004 at the age of 89. This BBC Radio 2 weekly half-hour programme was a nostalgic look back to music from the 1920s onwards, with personal reminisces of the artists by Gregg, who had been an actor and songwriter. His style was old world. A week was a "sennight", a CD was a "shaving mirror" and Radio 2 was "Wireless Two".
