A series of outside broadcast spots were included in the 1940s: "Standing on the Corner" with Michael Standing, then "Man on the Street" with Stewart MacPherson and Harold Warrender, and "On the Job" with John Ellison, later Brian Johnston; Johnston continued in the segment "Let's Go Somewhere" from 1948 to 1952.
As part of this he stayed alone in the Chamber of Horrors, rode a circus horse, lay under a passing train, was hauled out of the sea by a helicopter and was attacked by a police dog.
The 1000th episode, on 6 August 1960,[3] included appearances by Errol Flynn, Gary Cooper, Jane Russell, and Doris Day: this was a few weeks before it ended.
Towards the end of its run the programme was simultaneously broadcast on BBC Television, presented by John Ellison.
Antony Bilbow and Nan Winton were the last presenters of the programme and carried on in its successor which began after a missing week.
