'You'll never get away with it'
A legendary quiz on a radio show which became a Scouse institution almost didn't go by its iconic name.
Wally started in journalism on the Bootle Times and moved over to the spoken word when he became sports editor at Radio City. He then started looking after Billy’s show on City and Billy slowly introduced Wally to the show’s listeners. In the 80s, Billy strode across to the old Vincent’s Wine Bar in Old Hall Street and announced he had the idea for the iconic show. Arthur previously wrote, "You’ll never get away with it. You couldn’t have a show on Radio Merseyside called Hold Your Plums."
"In the end I went on to the boss of the station, Ian Judson, so much that he said he would put it forward in the Radio Times listings, but said that the title would have to be dropped if the magazine refused to print it." Over the years, Billy collected thousands of old papers, magazines, photographs and records. Every Saturday in the ECHO, Billy and Wally used to look back at a different subject.
