Orson Welles causes a nationwide panic with his broadcast of âWar of the Worldsââa realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth.
Sunday evening in 1938 was prime-time in the golden age of radio, and millions of Americans had their radios turned on. But most of these Americans were listening to ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his dummy âCharlie McCarthyâ on NBC and only turned to CBS at 8:12 p.m. after the comedy sketch ended and a little-known singer went on. By then, the story of the Martian invasion was well underway.
Being a ventriloquist on radio must have been a cushy gig!
Not a great start was it? Nowadays he probably would be sacked. Just as well we stuck with him for a bit!

1991: Giant of rock dies
Freddie Mercury has died aged 45, just one day after he publicly announced he was HIV positive.
The lead singer for rock group Queen died quietly at his home in west London of bronchio-pneumonia, brought on by Aids, his publicist said.
The flamboyant star is thought to have had the disease for two years, but he continued to make music and the decline in his health was only rarely glimpsed.
2001:
The exorcism paid off, as Southampton FC recorded their first win at SMS. Cynics who had scoffed that the ceremony was just coincidence were given food for thoughtwhen a goal-bound Athletic effort somehow bounced back off the inside of the post in the final minute.

What part of âno-one mentionsâ are you having trouble with?
Always liked Everton when I started watching football. This put paid to that, but at least I was prepared for 1984 and John Bailey

Charles Darwin publishes âOn the origin of speciesâ

Midweek trek to the back of beyond. Great pub next to brewery, serving ale with the biggest head (calm down, Bear!) ever seen.
The game was played in a absolute gale, with SuperKelv having his goal kicks blowing back to him. 1-0 down early, then 2 from Rat Face Nivea Queen and a gift from their keeper for Ricky.

If heâs got any sense
⌠anything she tells him to.
No no noâŚnot my wifeâs sisterâŚmy brotherâs wife. Actually sheâs a pretty good witch as she made my brother disappear shortly after the exorcism. I havenât seen him in over 10 years and I donât think she has either. Never close to my brother; have heard reports of him somewhere in London but he could be under the patio for all I know.
